the essence of true friendship

June 19, 2012 8:39am CST
i believe in the saying that true friends are hard to find. People come in and out of our lives but there are only few whom we choose to be our friends. I don't like people who are just users. Those who only remember you when they want something. Everytime i encouter this type of people i know at first that they are not true friends

I find most friendships are about what one person can do for another. Then again I haven't really grown close to that many people to find out if there is another kind of friend.

so why haven't you been able to be exposed to so many types of people. Is it your decision not to do this

I have an introverted personality type. I prefer to keep to myself most of the time.

True friends are really hard to find because people are unique; we look someone who can go along with us especially with our jokes. The essence of true friendship is that friends serve as our family, we develop that certain bond and connection which longs us to be with them more and more each day! We just want to be with them always. Friends are hard to find so treasure your friends.

true friends are really hard to find but you will know that you already found true friendship from a person when he or she is far away from you but you know that he is just there for you always

I think that the main thing that you have to be aware with in friendship is that you have to be there for them. Trust is another important thing because if you can't trust somebody then you shouldn't be friends with them. I also think that friends can be out of touch for a long time, but if you're true friends then you should always be able to get back in touch with them and know that they're going to be there for you when you need them. I have had four true friends in my life, and I have known them for a long time now. I hope that I will be friends with them for a long time in the future.
