I was once asked by my teacher what do i like about my friends and I came to realize how important they are to me. My friends were the people i can trust with.When im sad, they'll tell jokes and so will try to make me smile again. They are the sources of my confidence because i believe that there are still people who believe in me though i cant believe in myself. how about you? what do you like about your friends?

I feel that I can trust my friends and can confide in them. They are the source of strength and always makes me happy and I can refer to them, in case of any trouble, even at odd hours.

Good for you. You're probably trustworthy and a good friend too coz you had good friends with you.

I have many friends, but less best friend. That's the opposite with spouse, he has so many best friends and surely friends. But though i only have less best friend, i really enjoy our friendship. I can tell her/him anything i need to share with her/him. Actually for me, it is not easy to share my feelings and my personal to everyone. I talk much, but not for personal stuff. My best friend that i can talk to is very nice and can make me open my mind for something i don't think it before, just like wake me up from my sleep. That's why, when i meet someone and i feel her/his personality just fitts in with me, I would hardly respect my friend and I will love to talk with her/him.

Hi, Yes, i agree with you. Sure we need friend not only best friend surrounding us. And sure we need friend or even other person that might be we do not know her/him well. We can not live alone in this world, and we sometime will need some help from them. Have a nice day!

Yes, i too have a best friend to whom i could share my every depths and secrets. She knows me very well and so do I. We were very close because we have respect and trust to each other so much not like other friends, but still friends whom we do not call best friends are nice to be kept. They too play an important role in our personality and in our life, right?

Friends are forever. You cannot choose your relatives but you can choose your friends. that is why they are very close to you. Friends are the essence of life. you should ask the person who has lost a friend his sorrow. He may not be able to express it.

oh, good for you. but havent you had a friend you never choose? i think, we still have friends who came to our life without even choosing them to be one. they just came and will probably stay.

What I like with my friends, is when I feel down, their there to make me laugh. Well they give me suggestion, if I'll take it or leave it, they just don't force me to do it. When I say no, they do respect me with my decisions. They also give me strength when I am down. Have a nice day to you!

I like that they are fun to hang out with and talk to. They are there when I am feeling down and need a smile put back on my face. They give a helping hand when needed. I can share with them my most secret things and they tell no one but keep it between us. Friends are the best for they are the one's I can most count on in and kind of situation and vise versa. :)

Oh how nice it is to have a friend where you can share your secrets with. Your so lucky to have them coz there are still other people who do not share their secrets even to their friends.

I like that they can be trusted. Thats the first thing I want from my friend. the other thing is a long list: - they accept me for what i am - they make me laugh - they share knowledge with me - they tell me what's my negative so that i can improve - etc

My friends are everything to me. I love my friends with all my heart. They are honest with me and love me for who I am. I can be myself around them and don't have to worry that they will judge me. They won't turn their backs on me, and they will support me and my choices and help me through hard times. I can depend on them and rely on them. Good friends are very hard to come by these days. Too many people these days are dishonest, backstabbers and two-faced. When you find someone who is true to you, don't let them go. Treat people as you would like to be treated in return. I love that I can laugh with and be goofy with my friends, and we have fun doing it.

That't the best thing about a friend. that we can trust them,and we have the assurance of acceptance from them. no matter how we wronged, they'll understand though at first they're mad.always, they have concern on us. Thanks for your response.

What i like about her is that she is the best friend i ever had, she is always there for me, she gives me comfort, she listens to my stories whether its fun or sad, she is simply the most kind and most loyal friend in the whole world...you wanna know who she is?...My mom =). And i love her so much.

wow! good to know that your best friend is your mom. Some people and even i, myself cant exactly tell unto the world that my best friend is my mom. Its because, there are things I cant share with my mom and that i can only share with my friends and best friend. But sure, i love my mom.

What I like about my friends is that they would die for me and me for them! I don't have a lot of friends, but the ones I have I've had all my life! I have a lot of acquaintances but if push came to shove they wouldn't have my back! I don't throw the word, friends around loosely! I see often with younger people they have certain friends one day and 3 days later have new or different ones! There is a huge difference between friends and acquaintances! Rhonda

I agree with you. that the young ones have friends one day or another day. Maybe they're just having acquaintances with other people.

My friends are some of the best people in my life. Friends are people that will be there for you in the good and bad. Friends are people that you can confine information to that you my not want to tell your family members. Some of my best friends though are my brother,and 2 sisters. My other friends are great!! They are fun to just hang out with at each others homes, to have a couple drinks with and just talk about whatever comes to mind. Friends are fun to have over to watch tv, movies, football games, etc. Its good to have friends, they are the ones that keep you going in life. They are the ones that are ALWAYS there for you in ways that your family can't be. FRIENDS ARE THE BEST!!!! Shihtzumama

I have a lot of friends, but only a few are very close to me. What I like most about them is they listen to me when I pour out my feelings. both bad and good. Only with few of my close friends, I can actually share all about my life and they are a great comfort to me in hard times. They also come forward for any help I need in my life, I think that is one of the best things I like about them. Also my friends can understand me all the time. For example, "Why I am doing this, Why I am doing that" etc.. They know me very well and can understand me very well as well. These are some of the quality I like most about my friends. Happy mylotting!

I like that my friends are creative and I like that my friends are themselves. My friends always have hilarious stories to tell and good information to share. I feel like a grow as a person each time after I hang out with my friends. My friends are reliable and there my friends I guess that's what makes them special.

Well I only have one here in the real world as I call it. I have tons in the online world. My real world friend is the bomb he means allot to me cuz he has my same interest. It is hard to find some one with the same interest that lives in the same town. So seeing my interest is tractor collecting and restoring. We are now working as a team to collect stuff. Anything we buy we go half and half. I just love having him as a friend and i hope to for many years down the road
