I've always wondered what makes a true friend? There's online friends and then there's real life friends either of them can be considered true friends but I wanted to expand upon this thought with your help. I've heard it once said "A good friend is there to bail you out of jail, a true friend is sitting there in the cell next to you saying "Dude we f***ed up!"" lol XD In some cases with me that is so true but I want to know what you guys think?

Describe what makes a true friend in your own words? (I don't think this thread has been done before but if it has sorry)

I agree that a true friend will be there for you..
Like when my best friend got Lunch Detention, So he wasn't bored,
I snuck in to be with him
A True friend is someone who you can TRULY trust, and open up to..
And a True friend would be honest, and try hard to never let you down :3

scootheman : I agree XD Me and my friend almost got arrested recently and that quote came to mind that I said. A true friend believes you and sometimes tells you when you sound crazy they seem to bring you down to earth. Thanks for replying to the thread

A true friend is a person loyal, nice, grateful, in other words, he or she:

-will not betray you,
-will spend some good times with you (and some bad times too, yes that happens, the sky is not blue everyday ^^ )
-will help you everytime you have some troubles (despair, sadness, pain... ),
-will not forget you.

That's how I describe the true friend

A true friend is someone you can rely upon and trust.
Someone you are comfortable to share your secrets with
..And someone you can use to rest your head on when you need it most. (Lol)

A true friend is someone who you can always count on no matter what the situation. Yeah, you may have your occasional fights and everything but a true friend always has your back no matter what.

In my opinion, a true friend is someone you can trust without question. The kind of person who you can comfortably go to with literally anything. I have two of those friends right now.

BNuge pretty much pointed towards one of the most important points. I have a few others to add to that. I disagree that a "true friend" is the person sitting next to you in jail. A true friend is not someone who gets you in trouble, nor gets in trouble with you. He or she helps you avoid getting into trouble in the first place, but will help (not bail) you out when you do. How so? That person will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

A true friend is someone who makes life meaningful --regardless of any relationship, or lack thereof, you two may have. Sometimes you might hurt them, but a true friend knows when the pain is worth bearing. I should know this because I have hurt a friend before.

Someone you can call in the middle of the night to help you burry a body.
=p
I guess someone who is willing to go out of there way to help you, with no benefit to themselves, even better if they make sacrifices to help you.
Actualy, if you arent willing to take that last point youre not a "true" friend.

I think a true friend is many things, but there are a few deal breakers that I believe ANY TRUE FRIEND must possess.

1. They must enjoy your company for who you truly are, but also call you out on something if you are doings something not smart/messed up.

2. They must be supportive of you and your lifestyle

3. Always stick up for you if people are messing with you.

4. Be able to keep embarrassing secrets and not tell the world.

5. Listen to you when you have a real problem

6. Help you if you are in serious dire straits/need

There are several more, but I'm drawing a blank right now.

DBDonald : What makes a true friend... Hmmm. I think a true friend is somebody who will accept you no matter what your past is, and is willing to forgive you for past mistakes. True friends are people who will be there for you when they're needed. Let me give you an example. I have a friend who will worry about me when there's nothing wrong, and I can tell anything to this person, and know they won't tell anyone. I trust that person. It's pretty hard to come by those kind of people these days. It's sad, but true.

Hmm, alot of things..
A friend is funny. A friend laughs at your jokes even when they are not funny. A friend likes a little friendly competition. A friend is always there to cheer you up. A friend is someone that you can share your lunch with without worrying that he or she has cooties or is unclean xD

A friend is a friend is a friend is a friend
I love my friends....lol

A true friend is someone who actively listens to your problems, tries their best to help you solve them, tells you the truth, and has your back. However, sometimes true friends become part of circumstances that make it harder to maintain such high standards and praise. Sometimes true friends befriend someone who doesn't return such kind actions. However, a true friend in return wouldn't rely on such high expectations all the time and take advantage of the other.

Jordanv78 : That's pretty on par with how I feel.

Although, friendships have been hard for me because I'm very open and blunt, and I want to talk about everything taboo and crazy and embarrassing, and a lot of other girls aren't into being that open and admitting silly thoughts/actions, etc. I only have two really good female friends (just the one nowadays, really), but guys make much better friends because they're more unabashed and shameless about their shenanigans.

A true friend is someone who is and always will be there for you, no matter what the stakes. You will be able to talk to them about any subject, at any time, and get an honest opinion or answer.

Although a true friend doesn't always have to be nice to you, if you get yourself into a serious problem that you don't even realize that your in, they will take it upon them selves to slap you right in the face and get you back on track.

At this point, I honestly don't know. Maybe it's different for everyone. Some may think it's being honest, some may think it's loyalty. I myself am not sure. I think everyone has their own views of what a true friend is.

  I think it depends on the kind of person you are, because you need to find somebody whose personality clicks with you.  Asking what makes a true friend isn't really a valid question because it's not always about things like having a loyal friend whose there for you if you need them, or an honest friend, or anything that makes a good person, it's about how the person you've met clicks with you, and how much they mean to you.  The best way to describe a true friend I think is to look at/think about said friend and think about how much they mean to you as a friend, and if you truly love said individual.  After taking my own advice, I have found that I  only have one true friend, but that's more than enough don't you think?
