How would you define a true friend?

one who is there with u wen no-one is with u!

My definition of a true friend is someone that will be there for you no matter what. I was in a car accident and my family couldn't come out to get me, so I called up my friend and she came straight away. She didn't say no, and I found out later that her and her friends were all headed to a concert at that moment. But she turned back around while on the freeway and came to get me instead and take me home. It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for me. :) That's a true friend.

How can we find true friendship in this often phony, temporary world? Friendship involves recognition or familiarity with another's personality. Friends often share likes and dislikes, interests, pursuits, and passion.

How can we recognize potential friendship? Signs include a mutual desire for companionship and perhaps a common bond of some kind. Beyond that, genuine friendship involves a shared sense of caring and concern, a desire to see one another grow and develop, and a hope for each other to succeed in all aspects of life. True friendship involves action: doing something for someone else while expecting nothing in return; sharing thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or negative criticism.

True friendship involves relationship. Those mutual attributes we mentioned above become the foundation in which recognition transpires into relationship. Many people say, "Oh, he's a good friend of mine," yet they never take time to spend time with that "good friend." Friendship takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other's growth.

Trust is essential to true friendship. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! Failing to be trustworthy with those intimate secrets can destroy a friendship in a hurry. Faithfulness and loyalty are key to true friendship. Without them, we often feel betrayed, left out, and lonely. In true friendship, there is no backbiting, no negative thoughts, no turning away.

True friendship requires certain accountability factors. Real friends encourage one another and forgive one another where there has been an offense. Genuine friendship supports during times of struggle. Friends are dependable. In true friendship, unconditional love develops. We love our friends no matter what and we always want the best for our friends.

A true friend is one who sticks with you through thick and thin. Someone who you can tell your problems to and who always understands you. Someone who is not afraid to tell you what he/she really thinks about you or about a thing or decision you make. I have found a true friend in the person of a former officemate. Although we got separated due to change of office, we continually get in touch with each other.

A true friend is someone who would walk under the rain with you even if he/she is afraid of getting wet in the rain.

A true friend is not someone who backbites you.

A true friend is someone who can give her time when you're in dire need of one.

There may be other/lots of definition of a true friend, but I think the most important is BEING ALSO A TRUE FRIEND TO HIM/HER.

This is something really hard to answer. Its something that you can't really describe unless you describe YOUR true friend. I don't think that the answer will vary as much as if you had asked for the definition of a BEST friend.

For me, a true friend is someone you never want to lose- someone who you will want to keep in touch with for the rest of your life.

It is someone who you always feel you can trust- that they will never lie, that they will never do something to hurt your feelings, unless by true misunderstanding.

It is someone who doesn't have to ask if you feel okay- they can tell automatically.

It is someone who can help you, understand you, for everything, and will do it as much as they can.

It is someone who feels the same way towards you that you feel towards them.

those five points are what i consider a true friend.

I just lost my best friend, i met him the first grade 1963. When a person goes through thick and thin with you , even when they know you are wrong is a true Friend. He would do anything for me and visa versa.I remember giving him my front row ticket to David bowie, i did not even think twice about it ...he would have done the same for me!

A true friend is one whom we can share every secret abt Rself without hesitating at all. A true friend always makes us aware abt R shortcmings , when we'r totally broken, he tries to take up the burden of R worries on him/her and tries 2 cheer us up. I don't have any such friend but I dearly wish I could one.

A true friend is the one who is honest with u. no matter what. Stands out for u in every situation.

A true friend is there when you need them, will not stab you in the back, or talk about you behind your back and will defend you when others are putting you down.

A true friend is one who sees the 1st tear in you eyes

Catches the 2nd

Stops the 3rd and

If the 4th one comes, then

Slaps you and says

"Chal nautanki band kar"

A true friend will be there for you through anything and everything.They will be willing to help you in any way that they can and not expect something in return.They will be there when no one else shows up.
