How many friends do you have? I am not talking about people you are acquainted to. I mean real friends you can trust with everything. Take care

Hi Margajoe! I have two best friends and the three of us were best of friends since our elementary days. I trust them with everything and they trust me just the same. We share a bond that has been tested in time. We have been friends for more than 30 years now and I am glad that the respect and trust, the love and care has always been there. I have new great friends whom I trust also but not the kind of trust that I have shared with my two best friends. I guess, it is because with my two best friends, we knew every detail of all our lives since we were young and until now that we are older. Take care and have a great day! loveslot..faith

Hi, Margajoe! I have exactly TWO best friends I would trust my life with. One, I have known since I was a little girl in first grade, back in 1980 (she would have been in the fourth grade). I think of her as not only my best friend, but also as my sister. The other true friend of mine is my fiance, whom I have known for a little over 10 years. I would rather have one or two true friends than a thousand "fair weather" friends (people who are there for you when things are good, but flee from you when things get bad).

Yes I agree. True friends are worth more than anything! Will you be getting married after 10 years together? Or just take it as it comes? I wish I would have been so smart. I got married way to fast. And too young. hahaha! But, that is great when you can say you can trust your friends with your life. Thank-you for commenting. Take care.

Now we are engaged, and have been for one year. I am waiting until I finish college to get married. On ething at a time, please! LOL

That is nice. That has me thinking about what I tried to teach my children while they were growing up. " Do unto others as you want them to do unto you." 12 years is a long time, they must be very good friends. You are a lucky person! Friends are worth a lot. This is not something you find easily now a days. Thank-you for commenting. Take care.

I know I have 1 that I trust with my life-she has been my best friend for over 20 years (since we were 5). I have a couple others that I know I could call out of nowhere and they would be there for me but nothing compares to by best friend. I am lucky to have her!

Yes, you are lucky to have her. Unfortunately for me, my parents moved around a lot. So I never had much of a chance to keep up with my friends. But, it sounds very precious to me. Welcome to MyLot. Thank-you for commenting. Have a nice day!

There are about 3 or 4 people that I consider my close friends that I feel I can trust with anything. I know that they will always be there for me and that they would do anything and everything to help me if I asked. What's interesting is that these people will also stand up to me if they think that I am doing something that is not in my best interest. I think that is the true mark of a friend, when someone will look out for you when you really aren't looking out for yourself.

That is a very good point you got there. A real friend looks out for there friend. They tell you when you are taking the wrong road, so to speak. Yes, I agree with you. You are very lucky to have these friends. Thank-you for commenting. Take care.

This topic is always popular! I have only one friend in a sense who is really worth trusting. Good luck!

I think that is because friends are not easy to find. That is why it is popular. I think anyway. One good friend is a treasure. Good luck to you too. Thank-you for commenting. Take care.
