Who do you like more, a frank friend or one who always agree with you?

Like you, I too prefer friends who are frank and speak the truth.The "yes" friends although they appear to agree with you, in fact, they have opinion of their own.Therefore we cannot trust them. In fact they are not our well wishers.Those who are frank and speak the truth may not be acceptable in the beginning but they gradually prove to be our well wishes only.But how to know at the first instance is the moot question.No doubt it is very difficult but it will come out sooner or later and it cannot be hidden for ever.As humans we tend to commit mistakes without knowing the consequences.The "Yes" friend will not tell us but the genuine friend who is also our well wisher will definitely tell us on our face that we are wrong without fear or favor and without caring for the consequences.Those who always agree with us are either our subordinates in office or those who expect some favor in return and how can they be real friends...Therefore it is always good to have friends who are frank..

My best friend is a very frank person and even if sometimes her frankness hurts me, I still prefer it than someone who's always agreeing and can't decide on themselves. I still don't get used to her frnakness of course. But it feels really good when she compliments me, at least I know she says the truth.

Just what i'm striving to do as much as i could with others, I want friends who will accept me, all of me, with all my positive and negative attributes. I want friends who's joyful in my happiness and in sorrow with my pains.

I think I'd prefer a frank friend but who can say things considerate also. If they always think I'm stupid, I don't want them to keep saying "I think you're stupid" for everything that I do.. But I would be able to decide to not stay with a friend like this, so yes, better to put everything out on the table.

for me i would rather choose a frank person than a person who always agree with me even if they don't like my decisions because if they just always agree with me even if they don't like they will just say something against me.....

I want mine to be frank. First off, friends are not there just for satisfaction. They're there to help you find out what wrong you're doing, and they're there to help you correct it. If a friend always just agrees with you so you keep doing that certain thing, who knows if its hurting or offending them already.

of course frank friend... this kind of friend would never lie or take advantage on you. he/she would try to show you the real world and then u know what you are doing and how you are. agreeable friend is good sometimes but not it will not working all the time and I dont want to live in a lying world lolz

i am a frank person. saying this, i would prefer an honest friend. i wouldnt want sugar coats.

What is a friend, anyway? I don't think that the person who always agree with me is indeed my friend. No friend will do that to a friend.... Remember that we are all humans and we have weaknesses thus we err. If that "friend" would always yes to everything that I thought and wished for or felt, then, my chance of taking the wrong path is very large. A true friend has the confidence to tell me that I was wrong , or bad or ugly. Because he/she is doing that not to hurt me but to help me to become a better person and be the best that I can be. I will not mislead my friends. I'd rather speak the truth even if it hurts them than misleading them with a lie and eventually let them pay the high price....I hope my friends are thinking this way, too. Because if they don't, then, they are not my friends...

almost all of our frank friends are long time friends. i therefore conclude, that, they are our real friends.

I like a frank friend more than the one who always agrees with me. I think the frank friend is more of a friend to me rather than the one who lies. I dont like liars because I get hurt when lied to.

Honesty is always the best thing, both when it comes to friendship and everything else.

I would like to have a frank friend who will tell me about harsh but true things to me than someone who will agree always with me but will hear bad stuffs from other people about me from that person.I would like things to have it right smack on my face the real score.It hurts more to hear that things from other people.

i prefer having a frank friend.a friend who always agrees with me cannot help me grow and learn new things. i might be making a mistake already without her telling me. it's not all good. however there has to be a boundary as to how this frankness shall be displayed. it's fine for her to be straightforward in her opinions because it can promote improvement for everyone but she has to be sensitive enough also with the way she delivers her opinions. brutally frank is not good; sensitively frank is better.

As for me, I would rather have few friends who can truthfully tell me everything even when it hurts me than friends who tell lies because he/she does not want me to get hurt. I believe more that telling the truth may hurt me, but it will just be for a while. While believing in lies.

I think a lot of people are going to say a frank friend because they think they want to hear the truth but as a very blunt person myself I know that alot of people hate hearing the truth. Like if they have gained weight or if they're new hair cut looks stupid. I don't mind hearing peoples opinions if they are mean so yes I like a frank friend but that is just because I am used to this kind of bluntness not everyone can handle it.

i just want someone who is real to me...whether they will be frank or someone i get along with easily.as long as they are genuine for their care towards me or their others friends.someone whose compassionate and often thinks of others before their own selves.that's all i need, but do they still exist?.... :-)
