Friendship means a lot to me. You can easily make friends with anyone but the hardest is finding a true "friend" whom you can really trust. It is definitely easy to be a pal, a companion, a buddy or an acquaintance, but to be a friend means so much more.. Friendship takes time to develop.. being friends with a person means being trusted and trusting. It took me 13 years of my life to realize that I already found a "friend" that I can really call a true one. For when you truly find a "Friend", you are lucky enough to have one for life.. Friend - someone who cares - someone who loves - someone who trusts Definitely not an easy thing to find but the hardest is how you can keep one. Best of luck! :)

Friendship really mean to me.. Someone who I can talk to who won't judge me.. When I over react on something and upset them they will forgive me.. Someone who I can trust and they can also have trust me in.. Someone who will listen no matter what the problem is.. I do have this friend and I cherish this friendship.. However there aren't alot of people on line that can say that.. I have gone threw alot of friends/people to find this person.. Most people say yes I'm your friend but never took the time to listen to anything I had to say... That isn't a friend to me..

Friendship means a lot of different things to me. It means being there for someone no matter what, accepting someone for who they are (and aren't), loving someone unconditionally, and trusting someone enough to let them in on your innermost thoughts and feelings. Obviously, I make a huge distinction between "acquaintances" and "friends." I only have about 4 or 5 true friends and I've known most of them since elementary school. All of the other people in my life are acquaintances because I really don't disclose a lot of personal information to them, and if I do, I kind of keep it limited because I don't trust the person fully. I think everyone makes these distinctions on some level, but there are a lot of people who think they make friends easily and then end up getting hurt by those people they thought they could trust. It's because of those stories that I avoid trusting someone too soon in a relationship; if you don't know the person well, you can't really know what you can tell them.
