I dont have too many friends. I have only one. I always give him my company, my advices, my support and everything that a true friend will give. But i don't get the same thing back from him.
When he has any information that he should share with him, he simply doesn't tell me.
I have been in trouble because he doesn't tell me anything...
What should i do?

All I can say is relax! Well don't take it in a wrong way. There are some people who have a habit of not showing their emotions at all. No matter how much feelings they have for the opposite person but they won't show. He may also shares the the same space with you as you do, but he is little more quiet type of a person i suppose.

Well I think then you should go and talk to him about this matters. Just ask him nicely.

its not about showing emotions or feelings.
Its about sharing me information related to our field. Those information matters me. But he doesn't care to tell me

He should open up to you as much as you open up to him. Its always going to be a trust thing between 2 people. I would talk to him and ask him why he doesn't. You need his advice to as much as he needs yours.

You need to talk to him. And put him on the line and find out if he does need you as much as you need him. I would be up front with him and don't hide a thing. Because when we don't speak our mind its keeps going and never changes.

There's a saying, Friends come and Go, I tell you now, not every one is Loyal until the situation speaks of it.Never tell them your problems and secrets unless they have said the same stuff to you. It only proves that he doesn't trust you and never thought of you as a real friend. Don't bother yourself with that person and moved one meet with other people. Remember, just enjoy the company and friendship "Never tell them your secrets".

Well Surya if you are getting in trouble because of your friend then you definetly should part from him. What good does he do for you? I don't believe in one sided relationships, if you are willing to go like this (if you like your friend so much to take all the pain) then you sure continue this. Otherwise talk to him about it and move on. You will find someone better who deserves you and your friendship.

Have you told your friend to let you know about things especially if it involves you or will cause you trouble? If you have talked to your friend about this and he still does not think of your feelings enough to let you know things, then this is "not" a true friend. I would just be nice to this person when I need to and not have them as a close friend anymore. If you can not trust the person that is suppose to be your friend then what do you have?
I think you already know what you need to do. Do what ever it is that will be good for you. Very good friends are hard to come by, they are really few and far between.
A friendship should not cause trouble for you.

Hello suryacool,
Sometimes, you can't expect other people to think just like you even if they are close to you. Like my husband, he doesn't want to tell everything about his personal problems especially when they are related to his family. I try to understand his situation but as you know, it is very hard to read other people's mind and to understand them if they are not open to you. Maybe you should sit and discuss the matter with your one and only friend and ask him why he can't do or share the same things like you do to him. Just tell him to open up and as a friend, tell him that you are one of those who are always with him during good and bad times.

I understand but this is not about the matter of sharing only. He is actually hiding information that he should tell me. Not sharing and Hiding are different things....

Friends like him is not worth your time.
He probably is just using you or taking advantage
of your kindness. True friendship are based on understanding
and sharing, if he doesn't show these kind of qualities. he is no
good.

Based on how you've described your relationship with your "friend," it seems to me that you're his friend but I'm not so sure he's yours. Quit depending on your friend for information. Find out for yourself. You might also try talking with your friend about why he's so reluctant to give you needed information. Is he trying to get you into trouble? That doesn't sound like a friend to me.

I don't know whats going on his mind. When he is with me, he is so nice to be with. But behind my back, he is a different person.

1,Since you have told him about the problem,what is his attitude?If he seems honest,OK, you just ask him to tell you some information everyday.Generally, he will remember.
2,you are together everyday, right?so how can he get so much information that can always leave you in trouble?The reason is what you say,you want get something back from him.don't think that way,try to get information by yourself.Best friends are more than that.
3,Give him a warning,if he continues,leave him.Be a man. you don't need to rely on anyboby. Best frind can't be made by just one person.
Hope you sovle it soon.

not about only the 'information', he didn't share any notes of any important subject that he gets. When i share all my notes with him, he should also share with me.
And i have already talked with him about this. But he makes a silly excuse that 'he forgot to tell'

That's just too bad and it happens sometimes. The person you trust doesn't look at your relationship in the same way you do. If he is doing something that hurts you then you have to let them know how that makes you feel. If they are your friend they will listen and make things right from thereon. You should also try and make other friends and always look for people who have things in common with you, it makes it easier to have this common ground so that you can talk together.

Well I guess it seems that you are the only one being a good friend for him but he doesn't. If that would be the case you should find a friend that you can trust more than he is. How? It is up to you since you are the one that is really in control of your life. Looking for friends is your own responsibility.

I think you should go out more often and meet more people so you can have friends and you would not be concentrating in one person only. And I think even if you are very close friends there are stll things that a person should keep secret within him. And not all things will be told to other people even if he is your best friend.

Well, your discussion was pretty vague. I actually even read thru the responses hoping to get more of an idea of just what the problem is. Still not sure. What I guess really puzzles me here & I have to ask....just what sort of trouble have you been in simply because your friend doesn't share something with you? I mean, I think that the more open and honest we are with our friends...the closer the friendship. Still, I can't think of one instance where my friend not sharing info with me would get me in trouble.

this has happened many times.
if we have extra lecture in college, some students spread the information. When I get such information, i tell him first.
But when he gets the information, he doesn't tell me. There is loose a lecture.
And when he gets any extra notes, he never share with me.

hey there,i c your problem,it doesnt mean your good friend need share all things with u.may be u are to hoping from him,or may be your friend its just like some person that didnt care to much to share his life or info to someone he didnt trust.trust me,to trust people,we should have her trust at u first,i have many experience that some one i trust betrayed me to.stab back me from behind,but i dont care as long i dont stab back them and disturbing them.you can reject friend like this but it doesnt mean you should throw him out.Some day he will get back to you.

Do exactly the opposite. Deprive him from this resource your offering. Let him know you don't appreciate these things he is doing. He is doesn't respond it isn't worth the type of friend your looking for even if its your only friend. It may be obvious he thinks your the only friend.
