What's a Real Friend? It's a trick question. Sometimes, it seems that I've already found a true friendship. Sometimes, however, the one let me down. Maybe I want too much from them? Am I possessive? I don't know. I love them, but from time to time, it hurts.

Who is a Real Friend?

It's a tricky question. Sometimes, it seems as thiugh I have found a true friendship. Sometimes, however, they let me down. Maybe I want too much from them? Am I possessive? I don't know. I love them, but from time to time when it happens , it hurts.

yep. I see. I'll try. Thank you, Tiraj. you are so nice!

No problem , anytime phoe ... I have learned a valuable lesson in my path to adulthood.... Expectations always leads to unhappiness ..(be it from your friends , parents or kids) Give all your love and heart to the people who you care ... and don't expect anything in return ... If you are truthful to yourself while doing that .. the return will be in epic scale.... :)

I think in some way i found two true friend. I'm not use them for enjoyment/benefit but really regard them as the most important people in my life, except for my family members. What bothering me is that it's hard for me not to expect them treat me the way I treat them. I mean...I tell everything to them and very loyal to our friendship. They don't however. But from you, I know that I really need to respect them. They don't have to tell me everything. Actually, I learnt about this but just refused to do it because I was stubborn and still expect them to be as intimate as possible.Besides, one of my best friends has a BF now, who was the most intimate one for her. Honestly, I'm sad about it although I know I should feel happy for her. I'm working on it... Well, anyway, I'll try to avoid my desire to possess. Thank you so much, Tiraj. ^_^

True friendship is a very hard thing to find. And if one have at least one or 2 true friends I call them really really lucky. True friend is a person who respect you for who you are and value your presence in their life. The common notation of a true fried as we all believe in is wrong. You need to understand that .... True friend doesn't need to be with you 24/7. True friend does not need to be on your side at each happy/sad moment in your life. True friend does not need to take your side/opinion even if it is wrong. True friend should stop you and give guidance when you are doing something wrong even if the friendship is at stake. Therese much more to say .. but this is enough for the time being ... You can not find a true friend if you can not be one to others ... What matters is selfless giving ... What goes around .. come around .... If you want too much from them that means that you just use people for "Your enjoyment/benefit" Do not expect/ask anything from friends .. what they give happily ... receive it with gratitude .... :)
