What do you think are your best friend's finest qualities? Is the person honest, funny, loyal? Are they good at keeping secrets? Are they there for you 24/7?
What do you think are the most important qualities that make this person your best friend?
Personally, I love to be around people who make me laugh ~ but it's important that they can be serious too, and that they can keep secrets. I want them to be honest ~ but not too honest. And being sensitive is very important, too.
What do you think?

One of my best friends is Jenny. She is my best friend because she just gets me. I can tell her anything and she knows what I am feeling because she lives similar circumstances like I do. We are both married for almost 10 years, we both have kids, and we both know what it feels like to have lost a baby. We laugh at things that other people don't get and we can talk for hours on end and it seems like we never run out of things to talk about. She has a BIG heart and offers her friendship and love to anyone she comes in contact with. It is a real blessing to know her and to have her in my life. I am so glad that our husband and kids like each other too, that way we get to lots of stuff together!

She is also a great listener. And she supports me, encourages me and also she is my reality check. She isn't afraid to tell me if I need to rethink something and she isn't just a yes friend that will agree with me and my opinions no matter what. She is AWESOME!!!!

I have known my best friend for 18 years! There are times, when we go without really talking for months, but I know she'll be there when I need her and vice versa. It's hard to keep up any relationship when there is distance (we live in two different states at opposite ends of the country) but we keep in touch thru email and phone calls, and such. I know she will give me a truthful answer to any question I have and I try to do the same for her. I try to help her when I see one of her insecurities getting in the way of something that would be good for her. We can laugh together, cry together, or just be silent together. Mosy times i don't know what I would do if she weren't around anymore, even though we haven't talked in a while, it's nice knowing she's there if I need her.

A kind of best friend for me is someone who is true to you, a person who you can count on to in times of need and tells you from whats right and wrong. Does not betray you no matter what, yes can keep secrets, honest and also a sensitive one.
My best friend and I are similar to each other because we have same qualities and common things that we shared together. I think as long as you understand each other get along very well and have trust for one another there won't be any problem having a true friend. Just always let the communications intact and always treasure the friendship you have.

My best friend is Heidi out going, very intellgent, loving, caring, loyal, and very genuwine. My best friend is wonderful at keeping secrets, she is there for me whenever I need to tell her anything, Secretively or not. Heidi is there for me ANYTIME that I may need her, as I am there for her anytime she needs me. We are just a phone call away from each other. Her loyalty and the fact that she and I have been through so much together. We have been for each other through the roughest times of our lives. We tell each other what we think, and if the other one is doing something we dont like. We have fought alots of times and have taken a break from our friendship many times, but we have always, some way, somehow remained best friends through it all.
