what kind of person would you like for a friend?

First of all welcome to mylot and I really liked your profile image. Such a cute cat. Well, there are some basic rule of friendship. Trust, care, faith and love. If I start explaining all of them, it would be like a book. So, let me be precise and show you how to know who can be a good friend. The true friend is someone, who listen to you and never feel shy to tell you that you are trying his or her patience. That person will never feel bad to criticize you when you are wrong. That person will always be next to you whenever you need help or support. He or she will let the silence work when words are paralyzed. I hope my advice will help you.

Hello Alisea. Thinking of friends as persons, this is quite a good question to ask, as we might feel we want a specific thing in a friend but in fact we might just want it in lower quantities. I, for one, do appreciate a sincere friend, and like to know that he can be there for me for better and for worse most of the times at least - i do know that there may be situations when he/ she may not be able to. While i stated i do appreciate a sincere friend, i think it also matters how this sicerity is put on the table, as i had a case when a so called friend pissed me off as she asked me to show a picture of my girlfriend, with which she knew i had been for more then 3 years, only to tell me that she is ugly - i mean hold on a minute - it may be how YOU feel, but consider this: in 3 years one may have already decided if she is ugly or not for him, right ? Bottom line - to much honesty thrown in a careless way in the open can ruin a friendship, so be honest, but also be DIPLOMATE as well, that's what i would expect in a friend.

i would like to have a friend who is caring ,honest , humble and hardworking . it is through good friendship that one knows what is expected of him/her and as well be able to learn how to approach fellow being in times of distress. friendship involves sacrifice from both parties if the friendship must produce the desire resulted . cheers

a friend with no demands no requirements. just enough to encourage when i am lack of being inspired. just a warm hug when i am not feeling good.

I always wish for a good "friend". The one I could trust, lean and high on is her. I wish there's somebody out there understand my pain and know me very well. Well, it's all depends on the situation. anyway good luck on finding a best friends.

For me a friend who i can trust... a friend that will never forget even you get separated or far from each other. Communication is the best way you can say that you find a good friend whenever or wherever they me be. And like what you have said a friend that will tell you if you are doing wrong or advice you even if its a little hurting but at least he/she's true to you. I don't like plastic persons. What i don't like for a friend is that using you for their own sake or they want something from you and if they get what they want they will leave you empty handed. And I experience it a lot. Because I easily trust them and even i get a hint that they are not a good or nice friend still I gave them a chance.

I would like to have friends that would listen to me and tell mer things about her; would hang out with me; having same hopbbies with me; I don't really have a lot of friends and I foud my sister is my really true best friend.

I think really people who are trustworthy. Those who are not going to turn around and take anything that I tell them in confidence and tell other people. I also like people that really are truthful. Even if the truth that they are telling is something that might seem harsh and a bit mean, at least what I see, is what I get with these people. Also I don't like hypocrites. You better be able to back up a lot of what you do and say. If you say something and then you don't follow anything, I just don't see how much I can trust what comes out of your mouth when I talk with you. So really the honest, trustworthy type are people that I really am comfortable with being friends with.

Hi Alisea (29) I would like to have a friend like me. That is how i treat my friends? The same thing my friends also have in their mind. That is a good friendship. If i am honest they must be... Because we share everything. No matter to advice, they surely come with our path if we go in a right way.What way you think the same way they should think that is friendship.In any situation they will join together and discuss themselves and take a decision in a comfortable manner. this type of friendship i need.

thats a good question.....hmmmm....i would love a friend who I can TOTALLY tell everything to without fearing that she'l take it in a wrong a way or be judgemental.A friend who I can call at 2 am and tell her that I can't sleep.Someone who tells me my errors and isn't afraid to hurt me if she thinks thats best.A trustworthy and nice person with a good heart. :D

I guess I would like a friend bearing the same wavelength. Having similar interests could lead to a very interesting discussions. Also, I prefer people who do not have crab mentalities as we all want to better ourselves without the fear of having people pulling you down.

Even I agree with you. I know that it is fruitful to take criticism, but I am not the kind of a person who can take criticism very positively. I have friends who criticize me in a very polite way which I appreciate. Understanding is second important factor in friendship. Without the propper understanding of each others feelings friendship cannot continue for long.
