Being a loyal friend is very important. It goes both ways. Some people view friendship in different ways. Just because you are loyal in your relationship with a friend does not mean they are going to be. What you have to do is observe the person and the way they behave around you and when you are not around. Are they reliable, are they there in a time of need? When you are down, are they there to pick you up? Do they have your best interest at heart? Can you trust them with very personal information? If they tell everything they know, watch out. If they only want to talk when they have a problem, but not a good listener when you need someone to listen, then they are not loyal. if you are financial struggling and they have money to spare, do they offer you help. If not there is a problem. I can go on, and on about being a loyal friend. I fould out that the person I had been knowing for over 15 years was not the true friend I thought they were. If it wasnt for someone in their family suggesting they visit me in the hospital, I dont thing they would have. after getting out of the hospital, didnt come to my house to visit, but could visit someone in jail. Not such a loyal friend. when they were in the hospital and their child, I didnt hesitate to visit. No one had to suggest it, I was a loyal friend and automatically did it. Enough being said...Just because you are loyal dont mean the other person will be.

Loyal friend will love for what you are and your personality is,they will not support you if you are wrong,they will offer thier shoulder if you cry on and always stand by your side in any circumstances.

Hi tipay We can get many friends in life but it is hard to get Loyal friends but we can find the difference between friends and loyal friends by observing carefully.It also depends up on the qualities you are looking for as the taste of quality may vary from person to person .A simple to find a loyal friend is ,A loyal friend will not support you if you are wrong.They will make you think of the ways you can see things in a positive and constructive manner elucidating the causes and reasons as well.They save your interests and concerns by differentiating what is right and what’s wrong.I hope you get Loyal Friends . All the best

Hello tipay26, In my think real and loyal friend is only who keep with you (when you are in problem or when you are happy) and about friendship from elementary, i also have a friend since when i was just 4 Years old and he is still my friend but No one can say that longer friendship is really legit friendship because many times when i was in problems, and about 2 Years before i have changed my school and get a new friend who just mate with me and even nearly we be a friend after 2 months later (of joining that school) and he becomes my best friend not just for saying he actually helped me a lot, whether i am in problem he is always with me. He always try to solve my issue when no other even try. So, just see how is your friend If you are in problem and they don't try to help you then they may not is your Loyal or good Friend. Best Friends always ready to help there friends.
