True friends are really hard to find, don't you agree?

If you would count your true friends as of now, do you think they would be more one? Is a bestfriend really a singular noun? Could you have more than one?

True friends are hard to find, but once you find them they are there for life.

Yes it is so true that when you finally find a true friend he is there for you for life. I only have one true friend left and even if we seldom meet, I know that he will be there when I need him. He is my childhood friend since grade school.

Yes I do agree very much so! A best friend is someone who you can share anything with and never fear it will go any further, and will tell you your faults when nobody else would and stands beside you no matter what those faults are because of the special bond that you have. You trust them completely, which is a hard thing for any of us to do. I have two such friends, so I am extremely lucky.

How can you tell if someone is your real friend? In a time of crisis and in a time of great blessings. It's funny, how people who are not your friend will not be there when your going through and then you have people who can't be happy when good things happen to you. In my life, I've said it since 9th grade, God is my best of my bestfriend and after that is my mom. I thank God for a few good people that have been there for me.

Yes, true friends are few and far between. There are very few people you can really trust. A friend is supposed to love you in spite of your faults and most people cannot do that. If you do find a good friend, hang on for dear life because they are hard to replace.

Yes, I agree because true friends are few and really hard to find. But I'm always finding it.

IN my entire life I have never met a true friend yet. I have bad experiences before. People change when you have money. Also if you have money you can easily get friends and will never know who is the true one. They are hard to find. Yes! Very true! I don't trust people nowadays. They seem each has a vested interests in you. If you don't have anything anymore, friend go away from you.

Yes, you can definitely have more than 1 best friend. Its not possible to share everything with a single person (maybe coz of the nature of the secrets). Some things you can share with one best friend and some with another.

Friend may be considered treasures, They are those who will be at your side to tell you things like, we screwed up, but we had fun... Was I using the plural form, The more the merrier...Friends?

hey you know what .... this is one top[ic which catches away my heart..... friendship is something I can never afford to loose...it is suruly the relation that I have always kept above all beacuse I have always seen an untold holyness and divinity in this relation -- something that not only connects two people, but two hearts, two soulds, two lives, two many promises and so so so many other things too.... It is not that two people become best friends because they have to be, or because they r oiin contact since ten years, but because they were destined to and because even the ultimate supremacy too wants them to stay together for life..... that was for friend -- when this in itself is so pure serene and dividne, one can easily guess what position someone would hold who is considered to be best for you out of all these divine beings.... Now this is your best friend but nonetheless they are a half of your life.... atleast my life.... Then u tell me, do you get the human life easily? No, not at all.... it is really hard to find one for yourself.... same way it is damn difficult to understand who can be best frined and he definitely would be there for you.....always....

I have friends who are my true friends,whenever i was sad or happy,they will come and have a chat with me.they are really my soul mate in my life.I think if one want to make more true friends he should be consider for his friends,and try to help them whenever they are in troubles.Just to be an integrite and firness person.

True friends are really hard to find. Besides you will not know if he/she is true if you haven't gone through arguement or something such as trials.

True friends are really hard to find. I have had so many friends in my life and still I dont' know that who are my true friends. Most of my friends are just spring time friends. True friends are hard to find. Probably I have only 1 or 2 true friends and I think I am lucky to have these friends. I think true friends are people who are always there to help. Very rare but very valuable are real true friends.

I totally agree. I have spent a lot of time looking for just one person I could completely trust and confide in. It seems like friends are so disposable now. When I was younger I had several friends I would consider to be my best friends. Unfortunately, we grew apart over the years.

Yes it's true! We knew people who says they are your friends but you never feel or do anything true and meaningful for your friendship. I have 3bestfriends and alot of true friends in hard and good times and i am really lucky to have them. I can tell them anything about what's going on with me and vice versa.
