Count on me...

When a friend tells me "count on me," I feel very happy, because I know that behind those words, there is someone who listens, who understands my problems, maybe someone who could say something to ease my pain, though sometimes that friend wouldn't be physically with me, as it is this medium(mylot). It helps, and much. That virtual or phisical friendship, is our pillar in times of need. How do you feel when a friend tells you "count on me"? Do you feel supported in your problems? or maybe you feel you can't rely on anyone... share your thoughts.

It is sort of an encouragement, a moral boost, an assurance, and sort of a spark that tends to lit up the fire. A true friend would surely be by your side at every downfall or desperation, and would probably those words to lift you up in the context that he/she believes in you.

Jeez! Those are the magic words of friendship! I feel very honored if my friends tell me that and only few have the guts to say that. You can't help but be happy and be thankful of having them. It sure is a cruel world out there and you may or may not trust anybody around you.. You may act strong all you want even though you know deep inside your breaking down. I was like that before. I barely talk to people, especially to people my age because I don't trust anyone. I'm afraid to trust them because they might hurt me but I then realize that being hurt is part of growing up and we must accept the fact that whether we like it or not, we will get hurt.. But there will be people who's just gonna ignore you and there's these people who will care and be with you all throughout the way. You will know and you will feel when that person or those people are real friends or not. Base on myself, I couldn't always rely on myself. Because eventually... we'll just break down. I don't know to the others but that's me! :) I just love topics about friendship!

It's hard. I've lived it. I was the kind of person that never talked to anyone because I was afraid of this life. I didn't trust in anyone and I felt like hating all the people around me. But then, some books (not the self-help ones, that are awful) and people helped me to realize that there is hope in this world. There are lots of things we can do, we have to be thankful for being alive!

In these days of hectic human activity who would be out there calling out to you, "you can count on me". It is quite rare. People have little time to care for their fellow beings. So you are blessed if you are offered a COUNT ON ME offer by someone.

Sure. There are only few people saying such things. We are so blessed to have someone who loves us and whom we can trust.

I think that everyone has someone who they need to count on, and it is important that we are all able to find that person in our lives or we might not be able to be as happy as we should be able to be. I have some fantastic friends and I know that I am able to count on them whenever I need somebody to talk to for whatever reason. They know that they can count on me as well and I will always try to be a good friend to them no matter what happens between us. Even when we fall out we will always make friends again and it will be like nothing ever happened.

what you say is very important. True friends are friends forever. This does not mean that there will be no quarrels, that is normal, what matters is that true friends make peace and everything will be just as well as it was before. Thanks for your response.

you are lucky. i do not hear from anyone this statement at the last time. but it was about 2 yearsago when i had a good friend near me. she left my town and go to another town. i miss her. and i was very happy i knew that i had somebody i could rely on. it is a great feeling to feel that.

I agree. It's a great feeling, and although there are many people saying it, the key is to recognize the true friends from the ones that aren't really true friends.

I feel supported, and that's one of the best things ever. That I'm not alone, and there's someone to help me stand up from the ground and help me whenever I feel weak. I have a friend like this, and this means more than everything to me.

One of the most valuable things in life is having friends. It does not matter if we have many or few, what is important is to know that they love us very much and that we can trust in them.
