Hi friends, i have so many friends and i won't expect anything from them because we are making friendship not to expect something from them, it is a relation between two people where we can share our feelings of joys and sorrows rather than expecting something. Of course i expect only one thing that he should be prompt and he should be true to me. So what do you say, do you expect from your friend?

I am also very fortunate to have many wonderful, sincere, honest friends. I do not expect any undue favors from my friends, and I know they don't expect any favors from me too. Yet, we try to help each other as best we can when there is the need. "A friend in need, is a friend indeed" as the saying goes.

Obviously not.
As a true friend of others, it is not wise to expect more from our friends because this action may mean that we will lose our true friends sooner or later.
Just as you have said above, a good friendship is a relationship between 2 people where they can share their feelings of joys and sorrows rather expecting something else. If one really regards one person as his/her true friend, he/she will chooce to help their friends get out of any trouble when their friends meet some difficulities.

Expectations!! Ugh too high of an expectation in a friendship can kill it quick. I do expect my friends to do what they say they will do, and not leave me hanging waiting for me. But then again if I know they are a habitual offender I lower my expectations. I expect a friend to listen when I need them to and to tell me I'm being dumb about something as required. Expectatioins are a part of life, but I don't think you should ever expect materialistic things from friends or fmaily. But should always expect, care, companionship, trust, and love from them. With out those things its not a relationship worth having.

No,I don't wanna expect more from my friend.I will try with my self first,then if i can't do that i will ask my friend help.You can share your sorrow with your friend,but if you wanna share everyday absolutely your friend will be bored.He has little problem too that maybe don't wanna share with everyone.
