a true friend is one who accepts and loves you for who you are
but always encourages you to be the absolute most that you can be
they are always there to support and encourage you
the defend you and protect you when you are unable to do so yourself
they are there for you not only when you are up but when you are down as well
they dont expect anything from you other than friendship
they dont lie to you even when they know the truth will hurt

There are 2 types of people in life (in my opinion), there are takers and there are givers. The givers end up with great achievements and dividends in life (they are true friends)...the takers are just vampires and are like a virus to this world (they are not friends to me).

hello.
A true friend is someone who will be with you through thick or thin. Someone who will not always take your side because he knows that you are wrong and will not tolerate your wrongdoings. But kind enough to bring you to the right track. A true friend forgives, keep no record of wrongs and understands.
But I know and believe that there is no perfect friend in this world for nobody is perfect. Everyone has his own shortcomings and faults. But people learn have peaceful coexistence because they understand each other.
Good day.

A true Friend to me is someone that accepts me for me, someone i can talk to about everything (even if it is in the middle of the night) and i know that they will keep it to themselves, and not betray me. a friend is someone that i know will be their if i need them.

A true friend is someone that you cannot only be yourself completely, but, when you are about to make mistakes they aren't afraid to intervene. One thing I've noticed is most girl friends that aren't true will agree with anything you say to make you feel better. Thinking that, just making you feel good is the key. But its not. If a friend really cared about your welfare that would not hesitate to do what they can to help you. I also think a true friend is one of those people that even if you haven't spoke to them in awhile due to busy schedule, or living in a different location, can just pick right up where they left off and its as if there was no time between them.

You are absolutely right Phoenix, I've noticed the same thing that you've mentioned between a few of my girlfriends. Not to mention that there have been times when I've talked with friends and realized they were about to go in error over something. To be honest sometimes I will point out what it is and why I feel they are making a mistake. But I've realized something. You can loose a lot of friends by always pointing out their mistakes. So now I mainly just let them ramble on then I only offer my opinion if they happen to ask for it. This way I am able to back up out the way and allow them room to grow as well as to learn from their own mistakes. Thanks for sharin
