What do you want in a friend?

what qualities do you like?

 

I don't want friends

 

i gotta say....i've had a lot of friends in my life that were just simply annoying. they were more of chores than friends. if i'm into a friendship, they've gotta be as good to me as i am to them...and no downers and chronic complainers either!

 

me neither. i got 2 thats plenty. sometimes thats 2 to many.

 

I've noticed that all of my friends are funny....but they are also crazy. I guess like really does call to like.

*edit

Loyalty
Honesty
A good sense of humor
Thick skin....because I am a little too mean at times

 

One thing.

Honesty.

 

patience!
a good sense of humor
an open mind



uuuhhh.. and probably some other stuff..

 

well if the conversation flows easily then we are friends already.

from my real friends i expect loyalty over anything else. i will never betray any of them and i expect the same thing from them.

 

Loyalty. That's it. You can be as annoying, evil, lazy, arrogant as you want but if you're loyal, we can be friends. Doesn't mean we will be, but we can be.

 

Since people can be very different I find myself settling with different qualities in different friends. What I want is not always what I get but despite that someone can still become my friend.

 

Lol. Best answer.



And to answer the question - I dunno. I change friends all the time. I'm not even sure if I believe in true friendship

 

i want a friend with a fricken laser beam on his/her head.

 

I think people who don't want friends are just defensive and protecting themselves from pain.

 

Oh I do have plenty of friends. But every single one of them is easily replaceable so ya know....

 

friendship is all i have. i don`t care much about material things. but my friends, my few but true friends (and i hope they are true after 5 years of friendship) are definitely all that i need to have a good fun time. I like meeting new people, but there are few that i really care about and count on. My homies are the best

 

Someone whom I can trust, that doesn't back-stab, someone who has a good sense of humor, someone who's not afraid to act crazy and have fun. And of course, I naturally tend to gravitate toward other parents, being that I have three children of my own.

 

I feel that way about my family. I feel like my only true friends are my cousins.

 

that`s nice. i don`t feel my family that close. maybe because it`s hard to say there is family at all. Its just my mom actually and all i can say about her is that i love her, but she is not somebody i want to get wild with.

 

I've got all different types of friends.
Sporty ones , clever ones , wild ones , funny , thoughtful /cultured ones.
I've also got different circles of friends that wouldnt really get on together.

All I *expect* from a friend is that they show me fair play ( I don't really like the word "respect").Once in a blue moon , I'll effectively end a friendship.But only because anyone else would have done that a long time before.
And unless it was something *really* bad , I'll renew the friendship if they accept their wrongs.

People who say friends are a commodity , or don't value friendship are very unhappy inside.And most likely lying to themselves -I sort of feel sorry for them.They're hard to trust ( often arent worth trusting).
I'm friends with some people who are cynical about life , but they've gotta show fair play to me..

 

that could also be a sign of protecting yourself from pain, you know... keeping people at bay, at a more shallow level. I can understand that. But... I guess people have a different idea of what a "friend" is. To me, it sounds like you have acquaintances... or at least that's what I'd call people who are easily replaceable.
