A loyal friend laughs at your jokes even if they are not so good and sympathizes with your problems when you feel so bad. It's a blessing we have friends around, that way we won't need psychiatrist or pay people with life's problems.Have you always been a good friend? Are you a demanding type or are you giving type?

Typing is one subject in school that I am not really very good at but I try my best to answer some of the discussions here at MyLot. It is important to expose oneself to typing if we really want to earn. I sometimes write down first my answers on a piece of papers before I encode it that way I can be able to type without pausing so long.

I am a good friend to real people. I consider myself a shoulder to lean on but I am bad to bad friends too. I usually just go with the flow. Most often I am a good natured person so I am happy about being choosy with friends. As the saying goes "tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are".

Yeah, I can't agree with you more about the impotance of friens to us. Maybe I can say that most of the time I am a good friend. That's to say, I am used to give my help to my friends even the strangers. Yeah, my friens always say that I am trustworthy and they can rest their heart when they ask me to do something for them, also they say that I am too kind-hearted, Yeah I was hurt and cheated due to my kind, native personality. Though I always forget about the hurt feeling and go on to help others. however, when I feel upset i seldom turn to my friends for their comfort.
do you think I am a good friend?

That is really so nice of you to be one of the good friends. I am glad we have a lot of great people here in MyLot.;-) Yes, kind people are always prone to abusive kind of friends. There are those friends that once they felt way too comfortable enough with you they will tend to cross over the line. I think you should not be hiding yourself when you are upset or anything. Friendship is a give and take relationship too. If they trust you then you have to trust them that they will be there for you.

I see, well in friendship it is always a give and take relationship. When we give we get without actually demanding anything, our friends would always be there for us. Thanks for the comment.;-)
Happy Mylotting.

i dunno....i usually tend to only have a few really close friends.......
but this laughing at your jokes when they are not good is kinda weird....i mean unless you r in a group and they don't want to make you look bad....
yea but we help each other through lots of problems....like when i got in trouble with my mom, my best friend as there for 1.5 hours talking to me on the phone trying to make everything ok......
i guess i've always been a good friend...maybe a bit demanding but i'm giving also.......

Haha.;-) There would always be time in your life when you want to talk and just keep on talking an our friend is there just listening to us. I don't think its weird because we would always do our best to listen and accept who our friend is for better or worse. There are really times when we talk nonesense. Haven't you tried that?

Friends are one of the most important things we can have in this life and a real, true friend is something that is rare. There will always be people that claim to be your friend, but very few of them are true friends. True friendship lasts through everything. As far as the demanding type or the giving type, I think that I tend to be both. In a perfect world a guess there would not be a type. There would just be a equal balance of both.

It is good that there are still a lto of people around who value friendship. Yes, it is really true that nowadays true friends are few. I agree with you that it should be a balance of give and take relationship in friendship. That's how it's supposed to be. Thanks for the comment.

yah, wht you said is right, a real friend not only sympathizes, he empathizes with our situations,and gives us confidence to continue our war in this world, i am lucky in that case as i have so many real frnds, regarding my self i am mostly a giving type some times demanding too..can i know whether you are giving type or demanding type.....

I value friendship very much. One day when I relocated I felt depressed about it it's a good thing my friends are always there for me. One call and I can talk to them. They also call me on special occasions. I am a giving type of a person. I always sacrifice what I have for the friendship I share. It always feel good when you are giving as a person.
