I don't have a friend as you called befriend except my partner he is my best friend. I have no luck in finding a true friend that you can turn in to when you need theme. I have friend's before but it was all about because they get a free parties and presents from other countries. I thought one of theme before was my best friend because she was there all the time but little I knew she is with me all the time for money. It was painful when I find out specially I sort of trusted her about my secrets but glad did not trust her 100%.
Isn't it friendship is everything? Being there when you need each other, supporting each other etc. not only because one side got money to buy you freebies.
Thanks my Co Myloters.....
Happy Myloting

generally we say "A friend in need is a friend indeed". but a friend is a person that you trust with your secrets, your hopes and dreams. A person that you know would gladly swim the 7 seas for you and you would do the same. Because a real friend know when to give and take. A friend expects you to always be there for them, A true friend expects to always be there for you

A good friend, I think, is someone you can rely on. it is someone who respects you and your decisions while at the same time is open to you and will advice you as though they were advising for what is good to themselves. A good friend will not hide from you your bad side, but they will tell you accordingly.

A real friend means is someone who you can trust to,someone who can accept you for what you are even your faults and mistakes,a friend is someone you can't count most of the time,someone who will reach you when everything is not getting well,someone who can really be you,you can talk anything under the sun. Someone who wont use you and abuse your kindness. Now a days it's to hard to have a real friend maybe because life is to hard. Friends you meet often just come and go they go abroad to look for greener pasture. When you see one,keep it! And it's very rare to meet and see one. I have learned from this friends pain in the past. So as for now I am alone and searching for one who is really a real friend.Good night! God bless!

my intrepretation of true friend is simple...just like a bowl of sugar and ants...if u put a bowl of white sugar anywhere, there will surely be ants around it in a short while...once the bowl of sugar is empty ...u will b suprise by not even a single ant that is visible.... therefore to me, true friend is a friend who is not just there when u have something 2 offer, but will still be with u and support u during your bad times..they 're just there for ur money n freebies........

A real friend means that she/he will accept you in spite of everything that happens to you in the past good or bad..and will accept your good or worst side..a real friend will support you but also disapproved when you did something stupid..help you and stand by your side when you need them most..
for me there is no such thing as best friend only true friend...

I have real friend.but not very many.I think the real friend is who has the same interest.When i am sad she will be my side.when i am happy she can be my side.Now in our family,one couple only can have one child,so we have few and few relations day by day.I think my real friend is also my relation.

There aren't any good friends but the ones who can be with you any given time; in need or not, daily, away or passway. But don't trust any one you don't know very well. !The only one you can really trust, is "Jesus" the lord, and he leads the way to the salvation, any way. !Got It¡

I have indeed been blessed with 2 friends for over 20 years. We have our differences from time to time. However, we have never had an issue that stopped us from speaking. We are there when needed, although we may not see or talk frequently. We have never not been their when a need came up. Confiding in one another has never in 20 years been compromised even when we have or bickering moments. we have respect and love for each other and each others children. That's what my 2 best friends mean to me.

I have just a few people that I can really call friends, people who I can trust, can talk to about anything, and who I know will be there for me, and I'll be there for them. I've only met them since becoming a mum, and they are in a similar situation to me. I feel very lucky to have them. Before this my "best" friend was somebody I'd known for a long time. (We were next door neighbours when we were 10). But gradually, when we went out for drinks a couple of times a few years ago, I saw a different side of her.
When she was drunk she started to be really insulting towards me - and my family, and my other friends! I was really upset by this, and it happened a few times. But each time when I next saw her, far from apologising, she would just act as if nothing had happened; and I suspect that she couldn't actually remember that she'd insulted me!
Since then we've drifted apart (mainly because I've let it happen), and I don't suppose she even knows the reason why. I probably should confront her and ask her why she was being so hurtful, but I don't want to have a big row with her. I don't feel as if our friendship is that important after seeing what she's really like.
When you've been hurt by a good friend, like it sounds you were too, it does make you less trusting towards other people, and make it harder to make new friends. I'm a bit suspicious now when I meet new people, and I worry about what they really think of me. I'm sure this must happen with you too, but it's important to realise that not everyone is like the bad friends. The friends I have now have helped me realise that. I'm sure you'll find a true friend before long.
So another thing about real friends, is that they don't get drunk and insult you, or say mean things about your friends or family!

A real friend is one who's with you through thick and thin, for good and bad times and one who really cares and love you.I am so lucky i have a childhood friend who turns to be my bestfriend.Our friendship had proven real.I treated her like my sister and until now even though we are living far from each other we still get in contact with each other sometimes.

We make friends to make our loves easier and richer. We cannot pick or purchase a friend. We cannot compel anyone to be our friend. We have to discover a friend. We have to deserve a friend. a friend is a present that we give ourself. All this can happen when we ourselves are a good friend helpful, selfless, loving and caring.

Hi eve, A real friend is someone who is always there for you. Most people don't have a lot of such friends, but we should all have at least one. A best friend realizes that everyone makes mistakes sometimes and doesn't condemn you when things happen as they do to most people. The world would be so much better if everyone had more real friends. Blessings.

I think the kind of friendship you are talking about are few and far between. If you're luck you'll get two or three in a lifetime. And if your partner is one of those friendships you are very lucky.

Friendship is a wonderful gift that not all of us get to share. I have not been lucky enough, to enjoy such gift, I have tried but with no good results.
Although Iam the luckiest person in the world since I found Love and the best of Friends ever! When I married my Husband. So I really don't miss frienship of any kind. Even though we have good friends that remain over the years. We are each other best friend!

a real friend is someone you can trust and lean on in times of trials and hardship you incounter in life. Someone who can give you incourgement and tell you honestly when you do good or bad things. Someone who will not abandon you and always be there for you to support.
