How can you know that your connection/friendship with someone is true?

If you feel comfortable around them and feel loved without being attached

I have 3 friend, and its been 9 years since we're be friends. This is what they do that make me believe that they're my true friends : 1. When i tell them the same story, they'll never judge me cause they know that's my worst problem 2. When i dont tell something to them that i tell to someone else, they understand it. Cause not every problem in our life must be share to each other. And untrue friend will be angry cause they don't know our secret 3. I'll continue if you want to know. Cause there are so much reason to make me believe about true friendship

If she/he stayed with you in difficult times, rejoiced with you in your success and tells you directly your faults and blunders instead of discussing these with persons other than yourself. For me he/she is a true friend.

If I feel being myself around them, and if they do not require certain conditions or expectations to be with them, then it is a good sign that the friendship is true. But the true test of friendship is either time or difficult times.

the first is trust and the second is the reciprocal relationship between us and him. if just relying on the sides is not good, one-sided applause is the name, we need a healthy reciprocal relationship with someone

I think it's finding same tastes , hobbies, likes and dislikes. If your tastes are alike you may be comfortable together. Moreover it's responsible relationship and should be reciprocal.

Great question. We may have many acquaintances but a friend, a true friend, is really quite rare. I saw this awesome little 4 minute video that I love - it really is a great explanation of how to find and BE a good friend. Check it out: This video can be played not just in English - its in dozens of other languages!!

You know it when your are comfortable with each other. You don't need to weigh things over before telling it to your friend. Your trust her/him.

For me, to know how it is true, is if you are down and out and need something, that person will not desert you in your hour of need.

If the friend calls you just to talk and you do things together.

That's a very difficult thing to answer but probably people who were standing with us and helping us in need are true friends
