It is really hard to find a true friend in today's world?

Well I believe it is not possible, just have honesty in your relationship because it's the key to a lasting friendship. At first, you will have similar interests and same preferences but sooner you will encounter misunderstandings in your relationship because of individual differences.. so in whatever relationship you are in, be it friendship or steady relationship with your partner it's really important to practice honesty. Tell him your feelings even though it might hurt them because in the end he/she'll realize that you're concern enough to be honest about your feelings. Of course another key to a lasting friendship is having a genuine interest towards others. Jesus had many friends because He has genuine interest in others. His followers love him so much that they are willing to die for Him. But he also illustrated honesty in his friendship with his disciples.. so it's really not possible if you just practice these tips

even today, with so much changed in this world, people live for love and affection. everyone needs a true friend and it is very easy to find true friends. you just have to look for true friends. you yourself have to be a true freind to have a true freind. findig a true freind is not a days task, it would take some time to realise who is a true friend.

Ya you be a most lucky person if you get a true friend now a day. I have many friends but i think no body is true to my heart

My dad says that a true friend is when while others are walking out on you, that person is walking in. I have yet to find someone who has been there through thick and thin. Someone whom I can trust fully. The only person I have shown fully my heart and mind is now my husband. But it would be nice to find someone outside of him. Maybe one day I will. Life has mysterious ways.

I think it is possible to find a true friend but I usually look for friend and not true friend coz humans are selfish, thus true friends are hard to come by. I've lots of hi-bye friend buy only 2 true friends. They are rare but sufficient, yet we can't expect 100% perfect from them. They still err but if they are really out to cheat you, they aren't even a friend of yours. Take my experience with an ex school mate for eg. We met for dinner years after graduation.There was a salesman introducing time share to us. She knows of the cons of time share but still 'encouraged' me to follow the salesman and listen to his presentation. She was only interested in whether I've bought the package after viewing the presentation. A true friend to me will not be such, see you die and yet gloating at your failure. I've stopped contacting her right after that dinner..

I agree on you, but at this point of my life I could say I found my true friend. I have nothing to ask for. The journey in finding true friends is really hard. It takes time to fully gives your trust to other people. I believe that if you want to find a person that you can call a true friend it should start on you. You have to be true to yourself and be transparent to other people. Don't be afraid to get hurt and trust other people.

I first of all try to be my own best friend, and I’m having a hell of a task there. To like myself, to trust myself, to love myself is very difficult, since I’m too much of a realist. Now, extrapolate that to other people, other people being your friend, and it gets really tricky. My best friends are my students, I give freelance language classes, and some of them work with me for years. And it’s a perfect setting for friendship, the rules are clear, you can open up, you can support each other, etc. I just love it.

It is almost impossible to fine a true friend in this world. People cannot be trusted and it is hard to find people who want to get off the couch and do anything. I am better off hanging out by myself rather than waiting for someone who doesn't exist!

True friends as you describe is really hard to find.I Think your require too much.I think true friends is somebody can help you when you in trouble,can point out your mistakes you have made,can give you pure-hearted advices.But no one could know every bit of you ,if really have such a person,you will feel not comfortable.

hello there dev.... friend is someone whom you can: TRUST, accept you as YOU. With all your NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE TRAITS. A friend who will love you, never live you in good times or bad times. A friend that will talk to you hen you have done wrong. He /she will take time to explain it to you and explain things which is hard to understand. A friend that an ear to listen and hear you out when you speak. and a friend who has a big shoulder which you can lean on when you cry... Finding a true friend is hard (this is my opinion).It is like diving to the deepest sea to find a black pearl. Maybe you have many friends but are they really true to you? like a true friend.... have a nice day ahead of you...

It is never easy to know who your true friend is. Only time will tell. You need to know each other more and at the same time still keep on guard on yourself by not revealing too much of yourself. Because if you do the chances of a so-called friend's betrayal is very high. I learnt it the hard way and I learn now to be more careful and give myself time to know one person. Good luck.

i think it's not hard to find, you just have to know where to look. sometimes we fail to reach out to the people who vales us the most. it's not always knowing all about you, it's about being there and standing up for each other.

yes it's really hard to find a good friend but once you find him you are the most lucky person in the world... he/she helps you when you are in trouble ,depressed or sad ... they share you your happiness ... this is really amazing ....

You know what? Even if the world we are living in is a crazy world, I still am positive that you can still find a true and sincere friend. He or she doesn't have to be there for you 24/7. But in times when you need him or her, she will be there for you. It would just be a phone call, or a simple text. We still need the connectedness with others to make us sane in this crazy world.

Finding somebody that takes you the way you are is much more difficult than I expected. But I’m not giving up. A true friend has to stay by your side in every happy oder horrible situation and still like you if you lose everything. Sometimes I think that I couldn’t be a true friend. And that’s the thing. I have to learn to be a good friend, then I will find one. Easy If you think about it. :)

I think true friend is hard to find if you don't share you're life to every person you meet in your life...If you nurture your friendship by sharing everything in life, including your personal life, asking for their advice and also having that concern with your friend like a brother or sister, will help the friendship grow. (^_^)

yes, i argree with you. it's a complex world and we can't know each other very well and people don't like to express themselves directly but hide themselves behind the mask.

Yes, I believe it's hard to find a true friend. As for me, I'd rather have a few trusted friends...than having a whole bunch, yet I wouldn't know who among them is true.

it's really hard to find someone who will be a true friend to you at all times.. i am always being betrayed by a friend and i have regrets why i trust people so much.. the only person i can trust is myself especially nowadays.

yes Dev987 i completely agree with you.......in todays world it is very hard to find a true friend.....in this world finding a true friend is like searching a pin in a stack of hey....in this competitive every one is just waiting to pull you down....your friends may back stab you if you are coming in their success.....so yes we have to be very careful before making any friends.......but i am still lucky as i had an experience before it could cause further damage in my life i just broke all relations with him......
