Do you consider your self a good friend ? what would your friends say about you ? are you there for your friends even in the bad times .. do you call them just to say hello and see how there day went ? are you there for them to confide in and do you always keep there secrets ? what do you think it takes to make a good friend ? i feel like i am a very good freind.. i have some friends that im just a freind to and im still there for them but i also have my 2 best freinds that i talk to every day and share my life stories with and confide in when i feel the need.. i am lucky to have alot of great freinds and i try my best to be a great friend in return .. how about you , define your friendships , and what your friends mean to you and why you think you are a good friend ?

I consider myself a good friend. Unlike most friends I would always be there for friends no matter how much trouble they may be in or how mad I might be at them. I don't like to make fun of my friends but sometimes we give each other a hard time. I like all my friends and like to be nice and take care of them.

I like to think I am a good friend. I try to call or email my friends several times a month just to say hi and see how their lifes are going. I have a couple of friends who have been in my life for almost 20 years and even though we dont see each other often, we always call each other just to see how life is going. Also, when a friend hurts me I am very willing and quick to forgive them and to let things stay in the past. I try not to bring up things that people do wrong in the future

Nobody can define themselves as a good friend. Coz everyone has their positives n negatives. My friends never gave me any complements directly. But most of them use to talk between themselves that " Ramu is very good guy for all the situations", but never I've wondered regarding this matter. I call my friends regularly and talk to them more than a hour(But not all of them are Girls). Most of my friends never had their secrets when im in pic, I mean everything they share with me. There are no words to explain my friends, what they mean to me. I had very selective best friends, who are always better then my expectations. Luckily one of my friend had became my Lover and will b my future partner..

I personally consider myself a pretty good friend, even though to tell you the honest truth I don't have many friends, maybe just a handfull that I really consider good friends. And yes I definitely try and stay in touch with them as much as possible, I may not call them everyday, due to my busy life between work, school, kids and home, but I try at least to send them an e-mail daily and call them once a week in order to catch up on things and try to have a girls night out or a family night out where we take the kids to either the park, Dandy Bear, Chucky Cheese, where we can all spend time together with the kids and husbands as well. This particular group of friend me and husband have known since we were in high school and we have continued to remain friends and grown closer together. So I do consider myself to be good friends with them and I hope they feel the same way, which I am pretty sure they do without a doubt. We have been through to many things in life together.

I'd like to think that I'm a good friend. I've been friends with this tight circle for more than 5 years now and we're really tight. Knowing that they've gone through great lengths just to take care of me during and after my pregnancy, I'd like to think that I've been a great friend. Coz personally, I wouldn't give that much effort if someone wasn't so valuable. My friends usually come to me for advice or just to have a good conversation so I think I'm a good listener. And thats really essential in any relationship.

I do consider myself a good friend. I certainly do try to be a good friend. As good a friend as I possibly can. Sometimes, it's not always easy, but I still try as best as I can. For the most part, I do think that i do a decent job.

Yes, I am a good friend even to those who treated me unfairly...When I was younger, I was naive and shy so I got few friends. My friends then are my neighbors who were not kind but are bullies.But because we are neighbors I considered them friends and hang out with them even if they bully me sometimes. As I was growing up, I met a lot of new friends. some of them are not so sincere but the friendship I offered them was genuine. There was a girlfriend I had in the office I used to work. We had misunderstandings (job related ) and she was so pissed with me, I asked forgiveness but she was still upset with me. Then one day, she approached me and told that she was also sorry and that she can not totally ignore our friendship . Her exact words were " There is something about you and your friendship with me that I just couldn't take for granted". When I offer you my friendship, I'll do everything under my power to be a good friend to you. A good friend in the right way, though.:)

Yes I do. I do help my friends in anyway that I can. I support them most of the time as long as I can. But it cases that a friend need my help about doing something bad, as a friend, I try to discourage them.

Yes. I make time for my friends and even if I am busy with things I see to it that I make time to see or keep in touch with them. When they are sick, etc.. even if I do not have enough sleeping time.. rest assured, when a friend calls me.. I will be there.

I am a good friend. I am there in the good and the bad. I tell them the true about thing they ask about. My friends know if asked I will let them know the truth not what they want to hear. We have alot of trust and fun.
