how to be a good friend?

i try to be at my friend's situation sad, happy and when he was alone. i tried to be good listener when he needs to share stories. but when he was abursing my kindness i'm definitely disappointed, and certainly i will remind him how much we have long be a friends.

no one else does it, if your not permitting them to do so....Being a good friend doesn't mean you'll do whatever they want and making them happy. They must also need to do and stand on their own to make them grow. Be nice to them but know your limitations.

i think i treat my friend like i treat my self...off course they are human too like us and we must respect them each other...

I am a good friend, I think, but there are times that I am also selfish. I think , to be a good friend, you have to be a good listener too especially in times of trouble. You also have to be honest with them, even though they may get hurt about it, because truth hurts but lies hurt more...

You have to help your friend with everything you can...

I believe the real friend is the one that is going to treat you like a brother, but also going to have the courage to look into your eyes and say you are wrong. No matter about what. He is going to tell you about your mistakes, support you when everything goes wrong, celebrate with you when everything goes right and above all, be always by your side

I've learned that most of the time you can not treat friends like your family. If you do that opens you up to be vulnerable and that gives them the opportunity to hurt you. And "friends" as many people call them love to turn around and backstab you. I've learned the hard way and so has my daughter. She has gotten close to many friends to have them drop her for no reason or betray her. She's a very open and loving person and she gets hurt so easily. I feel sorry for her because she still has the habit of letting people in then she calls me crying about what they did to her.

Hi,friend,from what you i think you are a person who are honest and treat others with all your heart. So you feel upset when they are not honest with you. But you should know who is your real friend and who is fake friend. If the friends treat you this way, i think they are not real friends. Or maybe there is some misunderstanding between you and your friends, if so, i recommend you put them on watch list, and let time tell you whether they are real friends or fake ones. Well,i don't know how others opinion. I don't have lots of friends, and when i make one friend, i will first, check if he or she is the same kind of mine, and by no means, i will make some bad guys as my friends. And once i choose he or she as my friend, i will treat them with all my heart. So, tiina, i think you should not be so sad. If from the event, you got to know his or her real face, it will be a good thing. If they are not real friends, you 'd better stop waste your emotion as soon as possible.

For my comment,a good friend is enough in life, when you are happy, he or she also will share your happyness, when you are getting in trouble, he or she will give you a hand immediately. But for me, the principle of friendship is never borrow the money from the friends, or lend any money to friends,I have many examples about this phenomena which it really will break the friendship very quick. I don't know if you agree with me or not?

Hello, for me i not treat friends like family because for me it very hard. When sometime got event like we need to choose, example go out with family or go with with your friends. I will choose family 1st and not friends. Well as friend we will always help each other when needed. Sometimes kindness also got limit, for me you will know it when they keep ask you but they their self not even care about you and your feeling.

i treat my friends great i am always there for them when they need me to listen or just when they need someone to talk to.. i treat them with respect but if i think there abusing my kindness i stop calling them for awhile and let them call me.. i kind of give us a break and let them think about what there doing.. but i dont say anything unless its really bad situation.. if i can avoid it at all...

Let us remember that the word good is relative. What's good for me might not be good for you. In line with this, I think you can be a good friend by making sure that you do not bring your friend to whatever or wherever will but them in a bad affair.

I treat my friends like a member of my family too, like a sister. They do the same. I'm so glad i have them as friends coz they are the greatest friends i've ever had. And actually none of them have ever took advantage of the love and respect I have for them and neither have I.
