true friends are hard to find

By true friend, do you mean a best friend? I have a group of high school friends right now who I am pretty close to and I love them all. But I only have like one year to go before my high school ends and I really don't want to leave my high school friends. I think after high school, friendships will pretty much die as my friends tend to be closer to one person than the other. I tend to treat my friends all the same and I don't have favorites but my friends do. It's pretty obvious when one friend is always clinging to one other friend. I call them best friends. Two of my friends are planning to live together during college and I thought that was taking it to the max I don't have a friend like that and sometimes I feel pretty down about it. But my friends know I treat them all the same and I enjoy their company. I really don't want high school to end.

This is the difference between friends and associates. Many people I feel are too quick to call some one a friend simply because I may like you does not necessarily mean you are a friend. I am lucky I have two true friends that I know will be there for me no matter what the situation. Unfortunately, I no longer live in the same city as either of them and I do not get to see them as often as I would like. When I first moved I was very sad because I thought I would lose the two best friends I ever had, shame on me for not realizing how good of friends they really are. Me moving has barely even had an effect on our friendship we still are in constant contact and tell each other everything and anytime I need them they are there. We make it a point to visit each other at least once a year I go there and at least once a year they come here. I am thankful for my friends and hope that everyone gets a chance to know what true friendship is, I think once you experience what a true friend is it is far easier to see the others for what they really are.

well you and i have the same thing... we don't have real friends... good thing that they didn't use you till you dry... i'm the unlucky one, i was used and toss aside after their done... to much for friendships right... i guess they don't deserve us... we are loyal and they are fakers... they are just too worthless to spend even a second of our time thinking about them... so what you say... friends! i do really need some friends right now...

You are right, a true friend is so hard to find nowadays. I don't have much really good friend to speak honestly. There were 2 friends I grew up with, and we still are friends until today. We hope that nothing will change our friendship, and nothing will break us up. That is what I want for my life at least.

True friend really hard to find so if u find them love and treasure them. I have true friends whom stay with me all the time, they were there when I fall, there hands were my strength to rise me from falling, they hug me with their warms and loving embraces when I am lonely and in deep sorrow, our friendship was tested by years now our friendship more stronger through the passing of years. "A faithful friend is a strong defense; and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure."(Ecclesiasticus 6:12)

i totally agree with u,now i dont have true friends,my true friends who help everytime are my parents or i can tell my problems or anything !

Yes agree with you. But I cannot say that I don't have a true friend. I know some of my friends are true because we communicate through facebook but not all the time. We message only if we have time but it doesn't mean that the friendship has faded. It's still there. I also think maybe it's depends on your criteria of a true friend. I have many group of friends and in this one I don't really like the attitude of my two friends but since we are friends I just have to deal with it because I don't want to have a conflict with my friends. But for me I don't really want to consider them as my true friends because sometimes they took advantage of me because I am actually good to my friends including them. But I still consider them as my friends. But the rest of my friends I can tell they are all true to me. Even we only send message once or twice a years.

That is very true. You really do not know who your friends are until you are in need. Most that you think are your best friends are more like fair weather friends. I had a life changing car accident that left me unable to walk for several months. I realized that I only had a few, 4 people to be exact, that would step in to help me and the kids. It takes hard work and lots of heart to make and keep a good friend. In order to have one - you must be one.

For me yes very sure so be it just smile and make your day of good and have many things to be consider in your self so that they know you whoa are you and they feel friends with you.

I think that is rather true about friends of any kind. There are a lot of times where we meet a person and really do get along with them rather well. However, we don't really connect on a certain level. So in many ways, we are just rather good acquaintances as opposed to friends. Nothing wrong with that, it happens but it can really be something that is more than disappointing to say the very least. So yes it can be a rather tricky thing to say the least to find those friends. There are people who most certainly do seem friendly at the very least. However friendly does not always equal friends. Therefore, we do tend to live into one of those words of deceit, where everything does seem all out for themselves. Friends are something that is going to be something that we should cherish in the end. Something to make us smile.

True friend is so hard to find. Actually you don't need to look for that but it will just come naturally. My one true friend probably is my b-friend. Hope whatever happen the friendship we have it will last forever

Yes true,no one is perfect friend but it takes time to find the good friend..Sometimes you need to pray for it,and find the good person character. But one day we can find it..

that's true..true friends are those who's beside you even if you're not together always and far apart..but true friends are hard to find..many obstacles, even simple ones, must be passed to know that they are true friends..and before thinking of it also, you must be a true friend also even if it means nothing to them..

yes true friend is hard to find..me too i thought my high school friend are my true friend but when we get graduated they forgot me and never talk to me anymore.i dont know why i dont remember that i have done wrong to them.

I'm not in touch with friends from high school, as I moved across country (about 1000 miles away). But I have very many of the friends I made in my early twenties after moving here, friends who were acquaintances of my now husband. We started going together in 1974 and we are very fortunate to still have most of our friends from those days and later. Of course even my closer girlfriends aren't people I hang out with, though we do have girls night out once in a while, but I mostly hang out at home with hubby, but we give at least one big party a year, and we go to the parties our friends throw (latest one being a quarter barrel for a 37th anniversary). I'm very blessed.

I totally agree with you. Same thing happened to me. I had lots of friends during my school years and were all so close. We promised to each other that even if we are far apart, we will still contact each other and will visit once in a while. But they didn't, they moved on with their lives. It's like it's very easy for them to move on and get new friends. Even when I message them in facebook, they will be happy to talk to me but it was not like before. Time changes everything.
