Definition of a "friend"?
What is the definition of a friend? To me, it is someone that you can do things with, someone you call and also someone you expect to call you when there are events to go to.
I can't stand people who say there friends, but in actuallity they don't even know the definition. I can't stand friends who sell out friends. Do shit without them, even though they know about it. The Why didn't you call me or Why don't you ask are bullshit responses. People gotta grow up and shit and take responsibility for there fucking dumb actions!! Kelly Rowland (Of Destinys Child) - Angel Ya'll people who treat friends like shit should listen to this track. Learn something! :211: Last edited by dj4mula; Jan 16, 02 at 09:28 PM.

Here's some!
A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself. Friends: It's the ones you can call up at 4:00 a.m. that really matter. A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else. The best kind of friend is the one you could sit on a porch, swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had(I like this one) True friends are two people who are comfortable sharing silence together Real Friends stick up for each other, they are there when times are good and when the times are bad! Always honest with each other! PhatisPhat :035:

that's what -true- friends are all about... I dunno, about expecting ur friends to call.... jus expectations like that seem to be a lil superficial...... it's jus a minimal way to judge how much they care about you, someone may call you ten times a day and not even give two shits about you, whereas another person may love you to death and makes jus one call every now n then~ buuuuut these ppl may not be true friends... iono the situation, but if you are feelin leftout maybe you should call them!... a lil self-invite never hurt anyone! :p and maybe if they treat their "so-called friends" with less respect than they deserve, they aren't deservin of their friendship! ~breezy

Nobody is perfect, I even expect that even those I hold so close and dear to me might not me *gasp* flawless!
Sometimes, there may be errors of communication, something might come up at the last minute, etc...and stuff doesn't work out. That's fine. However, if this becomes a habit, you need to think twice. If your friend is disrespectful (this includes lying to you, or constantly being late or not calling, which in my opinion is a blatant disregard for your time and how important it is to you) then it's probably time to rethink wether or not this person is really a friend. We should all be cautious of so-called 'toxic' friends that seem to lurk everywhere, and every once in awhile, we owe ourselves to flush out each and every one of these from our lives.

Well, there are friends. Then there are REAL friends. Ppl that you know inside and out. Will sacrifice if you ask them to. Will be there for you if you need them, no matter what. There's a connection there.
Ive known my best friend since i was 7. Im damned lucky to have a friend like that.

A true friend is someone who:
- Will stick by you through the good times and the bad. - Is willing to go through the shit WITH you and sometimes FOR you. - Doesn't judge you and takes all your flaws with the good. - Will come to your aid no matter where you are or how bad the situation is. - Will always be there no matter how much time passes since you last saw them. Other than family, I only know of 3 such people in my life who meet these criteria. They mean a lot to me. Everyone else is just a casual aquaintence.

what is all this talk of "true friend" i dont think that true friends would get pissed off at their friend if they were true friends.
why would they hold a grude? and why would they post this bs of f-k instead of talking to the person about how they felt. and if they annoy you that much why do you keep going back to them time after time?

Friendship?
I think that friendships have a lot to do with respect... In order for me to respect some one, I have to be able to sort of understand/relate to them. There are, those few that still always keep me guessing, that I'm still close with... But I believe that there should be a mutual effort, despite the fact that you may not always be able to agree on something.. I can't really set a strict definiton as to what it is I look for, because humans differ from person to person. I value genuine people, who have their own sets of morals, and stand by them. I think well-defined people are a pleasure to be around, people who are strong, enthusiastic and are able to accept negative situations, and really learn from them. I am often a pessimist, so I have a lot to learn from these strong-willed people. Lately I find that I am irritated by people who complain ENDLESS amounts about how much their life sucks, when they do nothing about it, to change... Maybe it's because it was who I used to be before, and at that time I hated the person I was... I'm a strong person in some ways, but I'm not strong enough not to be swayed by some one else's negative feelings... It isn't friendship when you feel like your whole life is in their chains.. if they never think to consider any one else's life but their own. Thank goodness that I realized that... But that is only my personal opinion...
