I have only two,and you? A good friend someone who changes your life by being part of it.someone who makes you laugh untill you can't stop;someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world;someone who conviences you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it.This is forever friendship.When you are down, and the world seems dark and empty.Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.Your forever friend gets you through the hard times,the sad times,and the confused time.If you turn and walk away ,your forever friend follows,If you lose you way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on.Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

True good friends are really hard to come by. I consider most people my chums for this reason. Aside from my husband whom I consider my best friend I would say that I have 2 really close good true friends. They are a married couple and they are friends with both my husband and I. WE do everything together and I know deep down when the going gets tough that they will stick around to the end. They aren't going to take off running at the first sign that stuff is going wrong and for this I love them and would do anything in the world for them.

I have a quite few. My real friend is my sis, mom, and My fiance-and a friend down the road. I have a friend in college and she's pretty cool. I have a few true friends though far away I think will always be close. The people that make me happiest though are some of my new friends at college-3 girls. Who are just awesome-there my support-my link of frinedship that refreshes me and accepts me no matter what. We respect and treat each other lovely. We're not mean to each other. One friend I met in the bathroom on the way to class and the teacher asked if we're best friends and he was shocked when we told him we just met. He said it seemed like we knew each other forever.She's cool...all my friends are pretty cool.

i have lots of friends.everyone that surrounds me i considered them as my friends.but good friends? wow.....i only have few whom i cherished and treasured so much.....it is hard to trust somebody now and it is difficult to find a one good friend so why let them go when you find that they are definitely nice to be with...the one you are comfortable with, the one who will take the risks and fight for the good friendship you build....a friend in brightness is a friend in darkness.you have one?

My sister is one of my best friends. I count her as very close. I also have another best friend named Deborah. She lives in Las Vegas currently. Those are my two closest friends. I usually have only a few close. I have a bunch I keep in touch on myspace but most I dont consider as close as Deborah or my sister Melody

I do have lots of friends, but I have one very close friend (aside from my husband). We have been friends for almost 20 years now. I met her when I was just 14. Wecame from different background, my family is very conservative while her family is very liberated. So we have different views in life and love but we always manage to agree on things. We have been through a lot together, including her battle with her first husband. And she's always beside me, as well, in times of troubles. So sad that we do not get to each other much often because of our schedule but we still talk over the phone.

I have lots of friends, but they're not all the good one. The godd one are only two. They're like brothers to me. The other one are just to go out and play some hockey together. Real friends are the ones who stand by you no matter what, and the ones that really care about as much as they care about themselves.

i also have two really good friends. i think the less you have the more they mean to you and the more you learn to appreciate their friendship. one i can relate to like nobody else. she has gone through very similar things i've been through and knows exactly what to say to me when i need advice. the other one pushes me to be a better person and challenges me. he forces me to face things i'm too scared to face and helps me through everything. plus, they're both extremely fun to be around.

In China,there is an old saying"wearing others shoes while going mine own way'' Plus,finding a real friend is a grate pleasure in the lift.And I really enjoy the feeling that I am always on the way to be the finder.

i consider just one real good friend, and she's my bestfriend. even if we've only been together for like 5 months in Med school, and even if we're now continents apart (she's in Spain and i'm in the US), we still keep in touch and so fond of each other. we trust each other so much that she's the only person i share my secrets with, and she does the same to me. she has her own family now, and even if we knew we won't be seeing each other quite often (in fact, maybe never again, but hopefully not! we plan to visit spain one day), i am his son's godmother. and it's feels so magical when we get to talk or chat, coz it seems like we've known each other forever, we know what each toher wants, and we're almost like sisters (she has 4 sisters and i have none). through ups and downs, we lift each other's spirits up. it was 2004 when we last saw each other.

I wouldn't know. as of now however I "believe" i have 4. I haven't been to a situation where i have tested my friends. I read this somewhere "I friend is someone who will help you with the police when you call them up and told him/her that you killed someone, but a TRUE friend is someone who will go to your to where you are with a SHOVEL is his/her hand" Its twisted but it somehow hits the concept of a true friend. hope no one takes the quote literally.

I'm the type of person who doesn't want to have a "best friend" but would rather prefer having a lot of "close friends." Thank God I have a lot of them. They give my life definition.

When I was little, I have one bestfriend... Alelie, then back when I was highschool, I have 6 friends that I consider good friends.. (which includes alelie), then when I was in college I have 2 (jenny and cris), with my work I have 3 (zari, leachu, and gen) so that makes 11 friends that I can't live without...

what u think friendship is ? i think its a type of a system where u give and take or take and give .the higher u give and the lesser u take is the way or u can say the right statergy that u must kept i n ur mind. its too hard to find one who is fully devoted to you . but still we finds friends and introduced them a good friend ,really they mean so i dont think . ya i too i had many friends but the one whom i call a good friend is ma dad really he understand me , laways help me but u know what in return he get is only love but he is still with me . so think about it tell me am right

Like you, I have two good friends. They are like sisters to me. I am very open to them that I share even my darkest secret withh them. with them around,, I know that I am in ggod hands. It's just so sad that we are miles apart from each other. But, we make sure that we are`in the loop with each other. We always find time to chat, send email or call.
