When Do You Call Someone 'Your Friend?'

Hello Steph, Friends come and Go. and worst, some betrays you I wish i never had group friends, call me stupid but it took a revelation coming from my close friend during the retreat. that my so called friends had been talking behind me for some reason, calling me "weird" it was the most bad heartening ever. i never wanted to see them after graduation. i mean, wow talking behind my back. i noticed when i had a fight with that close friend of mine, they didn't even bother to help me So, am a bit lonely again.

I have really thought of it in those terms. Usually a friend is someone that I spend alot of time with..understands me....I can talk to freely....and enjoy the same type of activities. I don't have a ton of friend because I am too busy to have company all the time....but the few I do have a very good friends!

A friend to me is someone who I can trust. Someone who knows me and understands me. Someone who likes me and gets my personality! Leaves me alone when I when i need to be alone! A friend is someone who helps you out when you need it! My best friend is like that and we have been friends 17 years now! Most of my other friends are like my bset friend. Unfortunely I can't talk to them about everything like I can with my best friend!

Steph, this year I learned the true meaning of friendships and there is a whole lot in that then we think. I have learned that there are a great many people who perceive to be your friend only in time of their need. My nerves are so eradicate these days that I cannot not tolerate such, I begin to get frustrated and am getting anxiety episodes when it comes to people who say they are friends. I am learning to be at peace with myself and well when the true friend comes along I will know it. I am amicable with anyone, something I had to learn to do as oppose to being so friendly. I have found that I have been just too quick to consider people friends.

Actually, I don't have any special requirement of when I should call him/her friends. But at least, I have had got reason to call him/her friend. That is, I have known him, how little it is. Even though I just know his name, that's enough. I will call him friend then. It is the way I make friends. Sooner or later, he/she will become my real friends. That's the benefit I got from that way.

I can call someone as my "friend",the times when I am need of care and comfort it is the time I am down and nothing to rely on, and also his/her always there in good times and specially the bad times, but it really takes time for the relationship to bloom, you can call many friends as you can but how many are those are really true friends you might call???

To me a Friend is someone who is there in happy times and sad Times Friendship is a 2 way thing and you stick together, you help one another, you are there for one another, you can talk about anything without being scared it will be repeated I have Friends like that, the Person you are on about is either insecure or using you I think you need to sit down and talk to her

I would call someone a friend for so many different reasons. i would call someone a friend if i could confide anything in them. i would call someone a friend who would understand both my joys and my sorrows. I would call someone a friend if they would always be there when i needed them.

It is hard to define it. I guess you'd have to go through some experiences together before you could really call what you have as real friendship. I know that I have some friends that even if we haven't seen each other for years, the moment we see each other again, it would be like we just saw each other yesterday. So yes, time could be a factor. But more so that you could have some experiences together.

i call someone a friend when i feel that the person has empathy and sympathy to me. it takes time to build friendship and takes time to have a deeper understanding and connection and i require that before i call someone my friend.

Well, for starters? Maybe we should actually ask ourselves what is a friend. A friend might be a person that we can talk to? or you can drink with? There are several types of friends. But for me, I consider someone a friend, when I can totally trust him or her. I can actually depend on. But, I am a type of person that really might just get along with most people. So, yeah friends are people I can talk, and trust.

I consider someone to be my friend if I have developed my trust with that person. Loyalty will just come along the way after being friends for a long time. It will start by getting to know each other. Having the same likes and interests, being together most of the time and feeling comfortable being with each other's company. Some people will just be purely an acquaintance. Some people will also get close to you but then you really don't want to be close to them that much because you are not comfortable being with them. I am a naturally friendly person so a lot of people became my friends but I still have a few whom I can really trust the most and be loyal to them and to me as well. In your case you easily assumed that the person you are hanging out is already your friend. These are the people that would most likely stab you at the back. You will also notice that these people will just all fade away once you are in trouble and you need them the most. These are the fake friends. You can consider someone as your friend if that person has done something right for you without any ulterior motives in the end. Please choose the people you are going to be with and considering friends. In the end, it will still be you who will suffer the consequences being with those kind of people.

some ppl are good infront of u but they are traitors and could talk behind ur back. i would consider that a person is a friend if he or she has good intentions and not conspiring against me. if this person is sincere then you can count on this person to understand and accept you the way you are and you dont have to bluff and pretend to be somebody else this peson also finds time to spend with you and someone you can run in both good and bad times.

I consider someone a friend if he/she proves loyalty and trust. Friends do things that you don't even ask them to do. They give you a comforting hand when you are down and only listen to your problems. They don't give you advice but support the decision that you make. I have only few friends and I only trust a few as well.

hi step;hanieAnnC I call a person a friend if they are kind to me and interested in me as a friend and are honest and trustworthy too. It takes me quite awhile to really make a real friend. I do not use what p eople do for me or could do for me as a criterion . To me that is a user who only wants to like someone if they think they will always be helping then and toadying to them.A real friendship is when two people think alike and support and care for each other. I do not condone using people for purely selfish reasons.

The definition of 'friend' differs from person to person and that is how I have understood its meaning. I keep moving and time and circumstances keep changing and chopping my list of 'friends' over which I have no control.

I have to think and consider when i call someone is my friend. I not kind person who easy talk about myself to some1 i don't know much . I have to careful . If i told about myself or my secret, how would i know that the person i told to will talk to some1 else.

Back then when I was young and inexperience anybody who wants to be my friend is my friend, but now as an adult I think it is wiser to be have some sort of wary till the said suppose to be friend proves to be a real friend and not just somebody pretending to be one. There are lots of those who have hidden agendas and intentions why they befriend us. To have a real friend is a rare gift. The qualities I look for in a friend are: loyalty, honesty, a loving nature, a happy disposition(although some bad moods is acceptable since nobody is perfect).Sticking with me through my best and worst of times. Ability to extend help in anyway they can.I believe I have the qualities that I also look for in a friend. I have offered friendship to some people not worthy of my friendship yet I do not give up in the knowledge that I will still find a diamond in the hay.

probable after bought a year or so.

I call someone as 'my friend' based on how I've seen and felt what and who they really are. Half of my basis were from the feedbacks of the community towards them. Attitude/Personality matters most to me in calling someone as a friend. I call them friend when they're always there for me even at the worst times not just in happy moments, when they start to make me feel that they deserve the "friend" title. I pick wisely whom to call friend.
