I believe no one can live without having friends. Friends are important, they help, they make fun, they share with you the good and bad and some even let you to cry on shoulder. To be a true friend, we should not take advantages over him or her and not looking for return from them after providing a help. In reality, there are many friends which are calculative, making the relationship meaningless. Do you have calculative friends around? or are you a calculative friend?

Oh I do, although some aren't real friends and seem to be, I eventually just forget about them.

that's great of being getting true friends in life. it doesn't need a lot words between true friends, we can feel each other. but i am not as lucky as you, i not really have many true friends. just few. it will be better to speak to them when we are in bad mood or face any problem. they are really helpful

Life in the physical world is such that it is almost impossible not to have friends. In the large ocean of humanity, we come across people who are like-minded and then we become friends. However, calculative friendship is not true friendship.
A calculative friend is like a businessman; such a person is interested only in profit. But true friendship is not business. A true friend cannot be bothered about profit. A true friend is one who will be willing to undergo risks for the sake of his friend.

Yes. Even I have such a calculative friend. I don't think her like a friend at all. They are just too mean.
I am pursuing mba, and am not from commerce background. So, I asked my friend of commmerce background to lend me her book. She thought I may score more marks than her, so she asked me the book to return as soon as possible.
This is really horrible..

this is what normally we face in reality. majority only take care of their own benefit. but in my opinion, in order to get true friends, to be a true friend yourself first. while studying in college, most of my friends took care of their marks, competing secretly. but when other asking me about the problems, just guide them sincerely, if they can feel you, automatically they will be truly behaved to you.
