I have a lot of friends, some bestfriends and most bestfriend. There's only two person that i consider my bestfriend, i can trust them at the highest percent ever. Meaning even my life. Tell my problem and hide nothing, they know me from feet to head and from inner to outside. First was God, He know everything from me. When i'm happy, i'm lonely, in my success, in my failure, at the toughest part of my life, He was there to inspire me keep on moving. Lighten my cross when needed. Thank Him for all the blessings that he Give. Appreciate all the things that He done to me no matter how i struggle for it. Second was my Mom. A mom that i can lean on when i needed a shoulder to cry on. A mom where i can share my success. A mom that will tell me if my face is dirty, criticize me to be strong and dream for more. A mom that use the reverse psychology, a tactic for me to didn't do something wrong or to think better than before. A mom that was visible when i am totally down and nobody cares. A mom who think of my happiness first before her. A mom that i love so much more than my life then my daughter.

Wow. I am blown away by your discussion. It is really heart warming to see your love for your mom. I did not consider my mom as my friend. I guess we can indlude our family also. I like my mom a lot too and trust her in almost every thing. I am including her too in my list of trustworthy friends. Thanks for the idea mate.

I have several friends that I can trust with anything and yet I have no "best" friend. I belong to a sorority group that I have been a member of for over 30 years and I know that I could trust almost every one of the other 9 of them with anything that I put before them. I have known at least 4 of them that entire time. The others I have known 20-30 years. (it is NOT a college affiliated sorority) I also have 2 other friends who are not in the sorority group who I would trust with anything, as well. One is a close friend of the family who was once a close friend to one of my sisters, but I see her more than my sister does since we bowl together and have for years and the other I met when our children were younger. I am blessed that I have so many people who I can truly call my friend.

It is always good to be a member of such groups. You can make lots of good friends. I too wish to be a member of such a group.

That's a good question but it's hard to answre. I might just havesome 5 friends that I could really trust in since the other firends might not do their best to support as those who I could really trust.

Ya, i know that it is a difficult question. We may never be sure of it. Some times a person we include will not be trustworthy and the person we exclude will be the most trustworthy to us without us realising it.

I have about 8 friends that I can truly trust, trust with my life and trust with every secret I have, they have proved trustworthy time and time again and I have never had any reason to doubt them, I keep them close and they are wonderful and priceless! Friendship is a great thing in this life, trustworthy friends is like gold, once you have it you don't want to lose it. It's special, and I count myself lucky to have 8 completely solid, trustworthy friends in my life.

Cool mate. 8 trusty friends is quite a lot. You are indeed lucky.

I would say I have dozens and dozens of friends but close friends I would say I have about 4 or 5 - these ones are the ones that I can trust with my life, some of them I've known my whole life and some of them I've known for 10 or so years. I guess it depends on what trust you get from your friends as well as to how much you trust them. For example, if you trust someone implicitly and then find out that they have not shared something with you but with someone else, you might think twice yourself about trusting that person so much in the future, don't you agree?

Ya, i agree. If we share something personal with our friends we also expect him to share something similar with us.

Hello dear arjun. I trust my good friends very much and I am sure that they would not pass on to others what I tell them. I have as many good friends as six in my working community.

One, I have found thats no true friends. They always screw you someway or somehow. God is my only true friend.

I think most people have around four to five real friends. I too have 5 friends who i can trust as a matter of fact.

Well, let's see, hmmm, I think I have 5 friends whom I can truly trust. They know me, my struggles, my life stories, my fears, my stregths and weaknesses, my phobias, my goodness, my not-so-good attitudes, my temperaments, my secrets. What's good about having them is that I feel I am safe with them, and I feel I can be who I am in season and out of season. Needless to say, the trust is mutual and we are helping one another in times of need, share the joys of one another in times of joy. You're right. It is really great to have a friend, or friends that you can fully trust. I am not sure what is life without them, and of course a family to always be a home no matter what.
