Everyone has their own ideas of what it means to be a friend and how they define that word.
For me:
Friendship is when I have someone who wants me in their life. They appreciate me and what I can offer them and they care about me. It's also important that I reciprocate where I want to spend time with them, I appreciate and care about them, as well.
How do you define the word "friendship"?
:heart:

When Iwas younger, i used to have a lot of friends, but it is just me and my sis. Friends, to me are who you can share your deepest secret with without having to worry that they will tell someone alse, you can confide in them and trust them that they gat ur back during bad times. I have been betrayed by a lot of these "so-called" dfriends so I dont really have one.
-
I agree: There are a lot of betrayals in this crazy world!
The ones you thought were your friends turn to be your enemies.

freindship mean loyalty
-
Trustworthy, loyal and as committed to helping me as I am in helping them. Someone who has no ulterior motive for wanting to be my friend. Someone that I can tell my deepest darkest secrets to without having to worry about hearing them from someone else. Someone that is fun to be with no matter what we are doing. A person that brings out the best in me, makes me laugh and helps me see the error of my ways. Someone that has similar dreams and goals. Somebody that is not afraid to speak their mind and/or say 'no'. Somebody that sees the positive in everything and rarely sees the negative. Somebody that does not feel a the need to belittle others in the hope of making themselves look better. I guess this describes my wife...lol

Friendship to me means staying loyal, trustworthy, support, and having each other backs.

You are a very lucky person to have such a wonderful friend and partner!!! Be sure to tell her all the time!!! :heart: :rose: :heart:

At 47 years old, loyalty is a plus. I recently had to cut a friendship off due to the fact she was very bossy, critical, and tried taken advantage of me. She didn't want for me to have any other friends. Now she has to face the consequences of seeing me daily as I drop my child off at the same school as her child. I sort of giggle at the fact she is uncomfortable seeing me. It could have been different.

I think I've got major trust issues bc honestly? Trust. I need trust.
-
Someone who really cares about you, who will be there for you always no matter when or what, someone you trust 100%, someone you can laugh, cry, vent with or too with no hesitation. I am lucky, not counting family, I have two of these wonderful people.
-
To me friendship well ya got to have another person, a person that you can have trust in for any things, a person that wants to hear you, wants to see you, wants to have fun, and don't make you cry. They don't need to be exact loyalties because friendship is not lovers and we are human, but it is not friendship when you find out they laugh when something sad happened to you.

Friendship to me is all about trust, loyalty and confidentiality. I have friends who I haven't seen for years... we have an opportunity to chat and it's like no time has passed. We just pick up and move forward with our friendship. Friendship takes maturity from both individuals. Real friendship is a test of time.
-
True friends stab you in the front. That's the difference.
-
To me friendship is someone you can count on when you need them and for you to be there for them if they need you. Someone to talk to who will listen.

3 simple words: Loyalty and Tough Love! :D
-
Someone who is loyal and trustworthy. Someone who is always there for you!
-
Friendship to me is being able to listen and give advice that will help and lift up another. Loyal until the end no matter the consequences, and love without judging.
-
Someone who knows all of you and still hangs out with you thru thick and thin
-
It means a lot to me... like family without blood ties
-
Friendship is (or should be) a equally beneficial relationship...If the relationship is one sided, I wouldn't consider it a friendship...Friendship is dependability but not in a draining or parasitic way. It means you can rely on that person(s) and vice versa to have your back. They have nothing but good intentions for you. Friendship is a spectrum...Depending on how close or trustworthy the person is, you can share your darkest secrets with them. They won't judge you, they tell you the truth and stick by your side through thick and thin. Blessed are those who have true ones.
:highfive: :heart:

always being there when needed,,,,,,,

I think we have very, very few friends in our life. If you call someone in the middle of the night and say 'I need help burying a body' and the only thing you hear on the other end of the phone is 'where are you? I'm on the way.' That is a friend. Some don't care for that example, but get over yourself. It gets the point across.

people who are there for the good and bad times and will help or you help when needed
