Hello everyone on a scale of 1-10 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. As for me I would give my self a 8 because I am honest with my friends and then I don't do anything to hurt them or put them down, I make my friends feel good about theirself, even when it seems as if my timing is off LOL, my friends can invite me to something and no matter what it is I am never on time. How many of you are on time every time some one invite you, maybe it's me but it's hard for me to get some where on time, I mean with work I get there right on time, but you know what they say if you are on time you are late and if you are early you are on time LOL, well I am the one that on time. lol. What about you guys?

I was a 10+ (if 10 is the best) now I am about 8. I hope I will get less. I am a way too good friend to most people and I never met such a great friend as I am ever.
With being a great friend, always being there you only attrack the wrong people. Those who abuse you, let you pay for their bills and debts, the ones who borrow your car forever and drive it under a truck and don't pay you one cent back, the one who always let you solve their problems and give you sleepless nights while they go on with their life and don't change anything.
Being a good friend is useless if this is the result. There are way too much abusers in this world.

Amen! to that one there are a couple who I let borrow my car and don't put any gas in it, then borrow money and don't pay you back it's crazy right, but then, some times I feel like you get punished for being to nice, that's crazy right? because when you be to nice you tend to lose every time, I guess life is backwards like that.. Thanks for responding!!!

Just treat people the way they treat you! That is the only way to get rid of the abusers!
Treating others the way they treat you doesn't work. I teach my kids now not to share since nobody is sharing with them.
There is nothing wrong with putting yourself at the first place since nobody else will do that.
I agree with you, if you always help out others those people will never learn to take care of themselves. They will always depend on you or someone else. If you refuse to help out they will blackmail you, tell you you are a heartless and cruel person. I never borrow money anymore. If I give it I must be able to miss the money. So it's a gift. That way I won't have to ask for it anymore to get it back.
Also.. learn to complain, this is the only language these kind of people seem to understand. Because they complain whole time, are too lazy to change anything in their lives we give. As soon as they start complain you start complaining and don't forget to ask them for money, their car etc. This is the only way to get rid of them.

Oh wow you all had your own discussion on my post LOL, but to respond to all you guys yes I do agree with you all because , the more you give to a greedy person the more they are going to take from you, until you are sucked dry..

Well I may not be a perfect friend but I'd say I am a good kind of friend. I am friend who would find ways to help you when you need me. I am one friend who will make you laugh when you are sad and one friend who would scold you when you deserve so. I am open to my friends whatever mistakes I see from them I tell them directly and I also encourage them to do the same to me. For this, I think I'd give myself an 8.

Yes I understand you are a friend that has boundaries and you don't let no one walk over you, and you are quick to voice how you feel.

I'm quite similar to you here, I would rate myself an 8 too out of 10 because I'm careful not to hurt my friends and I make sure I treat them all equally, not liking another friend better than the other. I also try to involve all friends in a conversation and if one friend doesn't invite another friend to an outing, I make sure I invite her even if the other person doesn't want her to come. All my friends have favorites and favor one person more than the other as a friend. I don't tend to favor because that's just unfair and it does hurt when one friend likes to hang out with the other more than you. So I try to keep the peace and I also offer advice when a friend is in need.

I was very fortunate to have amazing friends but I have been a very bad friend to them that's why I lost them. I would rate my safe a a zero if possible. I always seem to screw things up with them. I always complain of not having real friends but i actually had one but I did not realize what I had before. I am trying to be a great friend now but people don't seem to be interested to be my friend hehe.

It will be ok, because you already took the first, step and that was to admitting who you use to be, and now it's going to seem hard now but you have to take baby steps, but over time you will get there, it's just the fact that now we are living in a age now where people just can't be trusted, and everyone has their picks, but for starters you can write and apology to the people who you have hurt and let them know you are sorry, and you didn't mean to hurt them, and all you can do after that is just move on.

Yeah but to give from a good place you have to be careful because if you keep giving it to the wrong person what's going to happen is when it's time to give it to the right person you will be so used up you wouldn't have enough to give it to the person who deserves it the most..
