For me friendship transcends way beyond the common an ordinary bounds we were taught to believ.

A friend is someone who will defend you in public( even if he or she knows you are wrong) but will give you a tongue lashing when they get you in their private corner,

A friend is one who believes and loves you with ALL your baggage, with an aim to help you become a better person,

A friend is that someone whom you just love to deliberately "fight" with knowing that in a matter of seconds they will be there to dry your eyes if the need arises.

A friend is someone you can share what's in your heart; your fears, fantasies, dislikes, hopes et al, and know deep inside you won't be judged based on them,

A friend is that person I think about even when I am having fun and they are not around,

A friend is that person who would encourage me to be the damn best I can be and cheer me on when the waters are up to my short neck,

A Friend is that someone who would tell me how much I can sing like Whitney Houston knowing that I cannot hold a key to save my life( all in good humour though)

A friend is someone who stick up to you and put you in your place when you get out of bound without fear or favour, That's a FRIEND!

2,COMPASIONATE

3,COMMITMENT

@chokit, care to elaborate? esp your last statement.
a friend is the dude you get drunk with, confess your atrocities to and that still changes nothing. your homeboy for life.

@ Chiegemba, no qualms, i still have space for you and every other person.Friendship is a matter of knowing your friends weakness and helping out in converting such weak point into strength and not using it as a means of hurting such a person.



FRIENDSHIP TEST,

FRIENDS
True friends are like Diamonds, they are real and rare. False friends are like leaves, they are scattered everywhere.

FRIENDSHIP IS,
FRIENDSHIP isn't how You forGet but how You forGive, Not how You liSten but how You UnderStand, Not what You see but how You feel, and not how You Let Go but how You hold oN!!!

FRIENDS 4 LIFE
Without humor, life sux. Without courage, life is hard. Without love, life is hopeless. Without friends, life is impossible

BEST FRIEND
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

KEEPING A FRIEND
KeEping a FRIEND is As Difficult AS losing one. You sacrifice A lot To keep them. You may not have sacrificed enough 4 them, but in your HEART, u swear you're still keeping them,

We all need love. keep the friendship on to keep d love going.

This is GOOD, I expect it back too!

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!

A simple friend reads this e-mail and deletes! it. A real friend passes it on and sends it back to you!

Pass this on to anyone you care about, if you get it back you have no beginning, no end. It keeps us together, like our Circle of Friends.

Today I pass the friendship ball to you. Pass it on to someone who is a friend to you, 

When you are down to nothing ,  God is up to something!

 

The mail titled 'Real Friend Test' was sent to me by a friend.

In short, a friend is the kind of person you want to have as a friend.

Some people want assholes, while others want angels.  May we all find what we're looking for.

A friend is a person that accept you for whom you are

A friend is someone I cry to without feeling ashamed of seeing or hearing me cry like a baby

A friend doesn’t tell you who or whom you shouldn’t associate yourself with only if he/she sees danger coming your way.

A friend knows you like a book, can tell when you are sad and happy

A friend will always truthful tell you especially when you are wrong even when the fact is bitter.

A friend will always repair the damage you caused

A friend will be the will always be there, when no one is by your side at the time of trouble.

A friend will take you has his/her sister/brother, more like a family.

A friend will introduce you to his/her family

A friend will brag how proud about you.

A friend will never betray or lie to you.

A friend is someone I confined in and will listen to my problem and giving me the best advice that he/she would have given her/his blood or family members.

A friend knows what am capable be off, will not listen to someone else without asking me at first before passing judgment

A friend will never envy me but will surely want the best for me

I know who my friends are because they have surely passed my wonderful test to be considered my true friends., love you two Kiss Kiss Kiss Kiss

We fight like crazy but make up by the end of the day, abi what are we friends for.





I don't pack or have friends like that( my friends are less than 5), but speaking from experience it really hard to find true friendship.


What I have are "associates" not friends

 very simple.

the short ans is friends help u to move.

REAL friends help u to move  . . . . . . bodies

the non glib ans is that a friend is someone u get to know
and let them get to know u.

YOU build  trust and feel a commitment to their welfare that  is mutual

someone u can relax around and feel at ease with.

someone who looks you in the eye and tells u the real truth always. a friend is one to cherish and love judiciously. a friend is one u can trust with your deepest secrets, one who believes in you, one who is quick to forgive you have erred stumbled, missed the mark and sinned. that is the true description of a true friend.

A friend is someone u can't pay back the good they have done in your life, no matter how much u try.
u ll always feel the FRIEND deserves more

MIMIKO, don't mind theffany, there is no doubt you are a beautifu lady and that was why THEF,  could spend
precious time scrutinising your picture. ITS DIFFICULT TO LET A GOOD THING GO. each time u reply
his criticism, you give him access to reinforce your beautiful picture in his HEART and that is what he has always wanted
THE CHOICE IS YOURS

I will say that true friends are stars,  you don't always see them but you know they are always there, they walks in when the rest of the world walks out.
true friends are hard to find.

good luck

Think i got here a little late! Y'all have thrashed the issue at hand sooo thoroughly.

All i know is that good friends make you oblivious of all your problems!

They are 'God sent'.

I'm sure we all have at least one of such people in our lives.  Cool

A friend is someone that has INTEGRTY, is honest, sticks by your side, and wont do things to use, abuse or take advantage of you for self gain. Watch out for those fakers posing as friends.  Wolf in sheepskin have to come out of hiding sooner or later ,  then u just send them on their merry little way,

love & light.

You have to be a friend before you expect to have one. Are you realy a friend to any body or are you just expecting the whole world to be your friend?
