They says "Friends never end til the world ends". Each person has its own personality and different attitude. We want to relate other based from our personality, if we can be fit in with them. We choose friends, same with our personality and behavior, we choose friend that we are compatible with. For me I do believe God created us for other Human Beings to converse interaction. There's also saying " No man Is an Island" If you are alone in a strange place, sooner or later you learn and grasp them and find friend that soothes your personality. But the question is how can you show that your are a true/ or your just making friend of him or her for your own benefits.

I would show my care and concern for my friend so that she or he could come to know that am a true friend. A friend in need is a friend indeed. When any of my friends need me and I could be available for him then she or he could know that how trustworthy I am.

I think to show your a true friend you have to be a self-sacrificing person. Doing for others and putting others before yourself. A lot of people are self centered and that is not how a true friends acts. To be a true friend we need to be there for our friends in good and bad times. Giving them support and encouragement when they need it. And sometimes just being there to listen.

I'm amazed of what you've wrote. True friend needs affection, love and care in order your friendship won't last is to respect and knows your limitations when you converse interaction. You must not hurt his/her feelings and don't back stub him/her on the back

I agree that being caring towards others is what a true friend does. It isn't kind or nice to back stab others or to treat others with disrespect. We have to be considerate of others and think about whether or not we would want someone to treat us this way.

I think you should just be yourself. If person has good character and strong moral values, then that extends to one's friends and family. You tend to treat friends and loved ones with respect and care for them. You make true friends and you are true friend to them. It is something you believe and practice. Rather that you having to show/prove your worth as friend. They know it, that is why they are your true friend.

I think the true friends is the ones who can accompany you when you at your worst time and try their best to help deal with the problem. They would understand you and provide with a shoulder fo you to rely on and cry without having to hide.While the so called "friends" who would just like to seek for benefits from you would never share the sufferings with you let alone help you get through it.that is the old saying "A friend in need is a friend in deed".

Some friend just pretending to be your friend, when trouble times comes. she/he suddenly left you unnoticed. It's really hurtful when someone leaves you in times of sadness,Like what you said " they would shared your tears and shoulders to lean on

true friend is when you need something or when you have problems, they are all by your side and help you whenever and whatever you need. they will not back fight at your back , they will not destroy you and they will not break your trust especially with your girlfriend/boyfriend.
