A wise man once said that if you have about 3 good friends by the end of your life, you've lived a good life.

What defines a true friend?

Many often mistake 'acquaintances' as true friends.
sit down for a moment and think of all your "friends"....
can you honestly say that they are your "friends"...?

for one thing, a true friend shouldn't be duplicitous or back-stabbing

How about a friend who engages in conversation?
One who calls semi-often, inviting the other to go out?
What about a friendly IM or two on AIM with some observations about something intellectual?

Nah, it seems I ask too much. I'll live my life with one friend who meets that standard.

friend
1. backs u up when u get in a fight
2. get in trouble, get in trouble together
3. joke aroudn wit eachother
4. get into fights, argue, hate eachother, apololize, be friends agen.
5. that has a clear mind, someone wise
6. sometime to talk to, express ur mind, if an issue comes up..

well thats my definition of a friend, a true friend woud express those 6 #s more.

oh yeah, and heres a scenario:
if ur dying, get shot or whatever, and ur friend is next to you... u have a family to take care of, but who can take care of it when ur dead. if hes a true friend, he'll accept ur wish, and try his best to make everything work out, raise the kids.. etc

I have a friend who meets those standards, it's pretty cool.

a true friend is there through thick and thin. Like if you get into a fight with a good friend (well u thought they were ur good friend) but u couldnt seem to make up afterwards they werent a true friend. But a true friend is the one who if u get in a fight, argue, and then work things out and forget about it. Thats what I think then of course all the other stuff people said to hehe

a true friend is someone who you can trust and talk to about almost everything they are always there for you even if you havent seen eachother for a while if something happens they'll be there...they prolly should have their own opinions too like i wouldnt want my frends to just agree with everything i say or do i want them to tell me the truth..i only have 2 really good friends and its more of a mutual thing where if someone has a problem or anything we are there to do our best at helping sorry if dat was confusing or if i repeated myself
