Think for a minute about your very best friend. Now write down all the things that you think make them a good friend. Would that person be as good a friend if they didnt have every one of the qualitites you have listed?

To me a true friend is the beautiful thing you ever had. a friend makes me happy when im in sorrow, a friend makes me laugh even problems come, a friend is always there when im down.

A friend is not in words alone he/she should be in deeds. Trust your friend, love you friend, do not be selfish with your friend, do not hide major issues from your friend, do not take your friend fior6 granted, do not suspect your friend, do not judge your friend from financial standpoint. Finally do not acknowledge the service of your friend with material things. If this is done the friendship could break.

now i dont have "best friends" anymore... i used to have "best friends", but they betrayed me, so i downgrade them into ordinary friends... now i wont have any best friends again, i only admit "close friends" but will never "best friends" again... it hurts so much when ur "best friends" that u'r really trust betrayed u twice...! first time they betrayed me, i forgive them and gave them second chance, but they betrayed me for the second time, so i delete them from my "best friends" list...

My bestfriend is fun & kind. She listens to me & gives me great advice. She is truthful & genuine. I can trust her not to tell anyone my secrets. I can always rely on her. She always has great ideas. She is good with my kids. We never fight. We both respect each others opinions. She would still be a good friend even if she was missing one of the qualities i have listed.

i dont really have a best friend right now, but i have a lot of pretty close ones. They each have qualities that i do like about them, and some qualities that i dont. So, ill just list the ones i like. a friend is loyal and would be able to keep the secrets you share and you could trust eachother and be honest. He or she wouldnt do anything to try to hurt you, would accept you for who you are. He or she could stand you even at your worst an still want to be your friend. Lastly you should be comfortable with eachother.
