there is no definite of true friendship as every relationship is different. the important qualities that make a friendship true in my opinion are trust, things in common, ability to give advice without being judgemental, being truthful even if it may cause offence...yes your bum looks big in that, don't go out in it...and knowing that whatever happens you can depend on your friend to share the good times and help you through the bad! hope that answers your question

Some people are just that way. They want to take care of it themselves or they want to not bother their friends with things. I am that way. I don't want to bother good friends with emotion or bad things. The friend will probably hear about it later anyway and i just don't want to bother my friend with it. Maybe I feel they will worry or stress.

Yes, I so agree. It is truly how we show ourselves in times of adversity that shows our true friendship.

when you try to figure out why people do what they do. my thing learning to deal with it is more imporant. but i would like just call her up and ask what's up with you and ask why is she doing this

maybe just needed some time to grieve first. probably just didn't want to bother you with all her crying, and drama.

hi peace001,
Have you ever wondered what the real essence of saying " A Friend in need is a Friend Indeed" is ? people talk about the true value of friendship actually with knowing what it stands for. True Friendship is the one, in which individuals do not have to maintain formalities with each other. Sharing two persons is the situation, when the person you are talking about is counted as one amoung your family members, when the relation you share with him/her reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for sometime, your friendship remains unscathed. Best friends need not meet up often to make sure that the friendship remains constant.
The trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, then the other will not think twice to help. If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can endure even long distances. It would not effect their friendship. They make it a point to stay in touch. even in the verge of being exhausted due to the drudgery of every day life. True friendship never fades away..In fact, it grows better with time. True friendship thrives on trust, inspiration and comfort. Best friends come to know, when the other person is in trouble, merely by listening to their "Hello" over the phone. They can even understand each other's silence...
True friends are not opportunists. They don't help, because they have something to gain out of it. True friendship is marked by Selflessness. Best friends support even each other, even if the whole world opposes them. It is not easy getting true friends for the life time. If you have even one true friend, consider yourself blessed. Remember, all best friends are friends , but not all friends can be the best friends. In this world of cynics and back stabbers , there are still some people who are worth being friends with. They have to recognized and respected for being the best friends, for the life time....
