Is it having someone to talk to? Do things with? Someone who knows your history and loves you anyway? Some one to talk to?Having someone in your corner? What is the most important part of friendship.

I think the most important thing is to be trustworthy, honest and NEVER to gossip behind your back. I really hate it when I have friends who are so nice to me but when behind my back, they will start their nonsense. It can be irritating because firstly, no one is perfect. I am a human being who makes mistakes and if I do, I would appreciate it if my friend is honest with me and just tell me the truth. From there, I can then help to improve myself and be a better person.

they are all important things, I don't know if one is more important than another. if you can't talk to your friend, well that is like not having a friend at all, if you the person is not in your corner then that is almost like having an enemy or someone that doesn't care, and if a friend that doesn't accept you for who you are then that person doesn't even know you at all.

A true friend will be there for you always, Even when everyone else is against you. They will stand by you no matter what anyone else says about you. They will take your side. You can trust them with any information and know it wont go any further than the two of you, Even if they get mad at you.

Two things - love and trust. Love creates the desire to be a friend and trust is the glue that holds the friendship together.

Hi cel!! Since I just a one child,I need a friend that someone I can talk with :)I can confide in, and to be with them at the same time.My ability to respond the situations for the call of friendships is appreciated by my friends, it is the opportunity to develop conflict things, and problems.

In my opinion, it is the earning of trust. Without it they can know your history, spend time with you etc. and it won't matter. You would also be looking over your shoulder alot. If you have trust, it is a wonderful building block for a good friendship.

To me, the most important part of a friendship is trust. I have had enough people that called themselves "friends" who really weren't and that really affected me because I thought I could trust that person when I really couldn't. It is hard going through life having trust issues, so I believe that is the most important part of any relationship, not just friendship. If anything, at least it is the foundation.

Hey celtic~I think that the most important thing in friendship is being able to trust someone. It is nice to be able to tell someone your inner most thoughts and feelings and know that they will keep it to themselves and not judge you. And knowing about your past or things that you have done and not caring and again not judging. They don't always have to agree with you, but are there for you and willing to listen. I have four people in my life that I would call friends. They are people who I trust with my life. Then there are one or two that are friends too, but I don't trust them in the same way.

as humans we have a need for companionship and that could be found in a love relationship or a friend relationship and because of this need i think we are drawn to other people. without friends or lovers we would feel lonely. i think all of your questions are infact answers to this question if you think about it no friends no one to talk to, no one to back you when your in a corner all there points are very important points in friendship and you cant have a good friend if any of there qulities are missing they are all equally important
