What does friendship mean to you?

What should your friend be like?

A good friend knows your memories. A best friend helped you make them

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@saragoodtimes That's a beautiful way to put it.

@Syntonic you know they're your best friend when you don't which is the bad influence

JoePourMan · 61-69, M

Mutual honesty, respect, acceptance and appreciation.

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@JoePourMan Yes, all of that.

I've dropped the concept of should and should not when it comes to people and relationships.
I accept those I can, and hope they accept me. Time tells whether someone will show up for me or not.
Often the people who showed up were those I did not even consider as friends.

For me real friendship comes from previously shared experiences that have helped to bind us to some degree. Someone I know we can mutually & safely confide in. We have each others back.

@nowic2 Perfect description.

@nowic2 THIS!!

Supportive. Yet tells you the truth, not what you want to hear.
Always acts in love.
Challenges you.
Loyal. He'll stand by you when no one else will, no matter the consequence.
Gives and doesn't count the cost. Of himself, of his time, and talents.
Cherishes the roads you've travelled together.
Picks up in the middle of the night.
A man you admire.
Hasn't changed.

And I saw him just a while ago.

@SethGreene531 I love these.

SethGreene531 · M

@Syntonic Thank you ☺️ I was blessed with a wonderful friendship of 35 years.

SubstantialKick · 36-40, M

That's a good question because I have never actually had a true friend.

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@SubstantialKick So sorry to read that.

Tinkerxbell · 41-45, F

Genuine, understanding, reliable and like-minded. :)

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@Tinkerxbell Great qualities.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

Never having to say, I am sorry.

Spoiledbrat · F

but what if you are? its nice to hear sometimes. @samueltyler2

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@Spoiledbrat yes, and needs to bebsaud, but better to avoid.

Spoiledbrat · F

nurturing and supportive plus fun

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@Spoiledbrat That's the perfect friend.

MasterofNone · 26-30, M

I'm not the kind of person who deserves to have friends. I'm just there for somebody when they are at their worst to offer support but at other times I don't want to bother spending time with them. What do I expect ? Authenticity. Sighs. Lol

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@MasterofNone Everyone deserves friends.

Nomad7 · 22-25, M

Having a good time, having each others' backs, knowing and keeping secrets, giving good advice, having some shared interests and never making your friend feel alone

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@Nomad7 As long as they are not over 45, right?

Nomad7 · 22-25, M

@Syntonic Haha, some of the nicest people I know are over 45

Sweetpoison · 41-45, F

It meant alot in the past when i was a teen... now it means nothing anymore cause i realized i never had a sincere friend in my life.

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@Sweetpoison Sorry you never had a real friend.

NoGamesTolerated · F

I don’t expect too much out of people, I’ve learned not to. My standards are high and most wouldn’t even attempt to...lol

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

Trustworthy and loyal to a fault. We have each other’s backs.

Syntonic · 41-45, F

@Keepitsimple Those are rare.

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

@Syntonic very true but my best friend and I have been friends since we were in 7th grade and she’s more like my sister. When you have a good friend you have to treasure them and be good to them also!
