I have been blessed with terrific friends, they make me laugh, take me out of my self, make me think, and make insanity not only ok, but desirable!! However, a “true” friend is the one you could call after you shoot someone (I would not do this if it did not HAVE to be done) and they would come and help me get rid of the body and never bust. An example is in Gone with the wind (ok not THE best example but an example) is when Scarlet O’hara ( Gone with the wind) shoots the union shoulder, Melanie hears the shot comes down helps her clean up and hides it from the rest of the family.

To me a true friend is one whom will be there alway’s. Throught the thick & the thin. The good & the bad. This friend will be able to accept critaciam as well as praise with out getting bent out of shape, this friend would be non-judgeamental in your life manduvers they may not like what ever path you have chosen.But they’ll do the’re best learn to support you in what ever direction you chose. If your path’s are harmful they will do the’re best to help you the best they can. This Friend you do not have to be with every singel day.You may even not see eachother for time. But you alway’s know in your heart they will be there for you.
This friend will share great memorie’s, laughter, joy, saddness & hurts.I found this true friend whom has given me strength to not comitt
suicide,again,After failing the first time. This friend I have never even met face to face as of yet but I will!!She has given courage strength and most of all my Faith back.She don’t even know How grateful I’am for her. Maybe she will read this; I have tried to tell her But let’s face it – It’s not easy beliveing in a stranger’s word.
It take’s time to consider a person a friend & not someone that has just crossed roads with you along your life’s path.
A friend is for ever !
My friend’s name is MAUREEN HUNTING A BLESSING FOR She entered my world, When I was in need of a friend indeed.She is known as DREAMIE1966 @ bnet.THANKYOU MOE..

A true friend is someone who accepts you unconditionally just as you are. They love you no matter what. They forgive you when you offend them. They aren’t afraid to tell you right yo your face when you’ve acted like a jerk. They see the REAL you, and love you anyway. They want you to be happy and worry about you when seem self destructive or ill. And don’t think fo one minute that Loving someone as a friend or a romatic partner never means having to say you are sorry, when you screwed up.

A true friend is one who is more than a sister or brother to you.they tell you when you are going the wrong way and keep your secret as theirs.A true friend is one who doesn’t laugh at you when you fall or make mistakes.they are the who stand by you when you are going through bad moment.a true friend doesn’t want anything in return for whatever good they do for you.

I address the issue of true friends from the fact that I have rarely, if ever, had one.
I disagree that a true friend accepts you unconditionally. They love you you warts and all, but they don’t have to accept your warts.
A true friend knows your limits and dooesn’t cross them.
A true friend will be there for you, will help you, but never accepts when you are less than you could be.

My true best friend I met about 10 yrs ago & her name is Bonnie. To tell you the truth she’s like having a big sister; she’s that close. We can tell each other anything & it won’t go beyond our ears unless we say its ok to do so. We even start an Internet Business together. We don’t we really argru with each other. We might have a little disageement, but that’s about it. We joke around that when she’s 85 yrs old & I’m 80 yrs old we’re going to chase each other down the Nursing Home Hall in the middle of night when we can’t sleep. Now that’s Best Friends.

I have been lucky to have many friends in my life, but within these friends I have a long list and a short list. The long list are people I enjoy spending time with, sharing thoughts, ideas, memories, and lifes simple joys and defeats. I actively try to support all of my friends and comfort pain and celebrate joy.
The short list (a list of 2 people) are the ones I know I can call when I am aching so badly that I feel as if my soul is shattering. These are the friends who will take me in all of my pain and listen, nurture, and always be there in both good and bad times. One of these friends I have known for over 20 years. At times we have lost touch over the years, but if one of us is hurting it only takes a phone call or an e-mail. This friend showed up at my life partner’s funeral 11 years ago with a bag packed in the event I needed her to stay. She was there through the worst of the grief sometimes just listening to me cry and fall apart. She does not judge me, but listens with her heart and enfolds my soul there when I need strength or comfort. I have also been available for her at a moments notice when she has needed me.
Even if it has been years since we’ve communicated, it is as if no time at all has passed between us.

Being a born again christian and in recovery from drugs/alcahol most my freinds are drug users and street people ive known from childhood and unfortunatly now have to distance myself from them or those hwo refuse to change their ways,this kills me and sadens me to have to avoid old freinds and even change my phone number in order not to be tempted into going back to the lifestyle i once had,ive sought counsil about it and even tryed to persaude some freinds to join my church to no avail.its like ive changed my hole world to all new including associates freindship is not unconditional in my case can be detrimental.the good part is ive began to meet new freinds since ive been with beliefnet thanks be too GOD…
