FRIENDSHIP
What is friendship? Is it any of the following:-Prepared to help in any situation
Patient
Never gives up on you
Appreciates you and your personality
Doesn't compare you to other people
Never insults you
Recognises your qualities
Realises that no one is perfect
Doesn't categorise you as specific type
Does not judge you but tactfully indicates the possible choices you can make and their consequences.
Realises they don't completely know you
These are some qualities I think should exist, but what do you think?

I think, friendship can sometimes as complicated as in a romantic relationship. But positive characteristics provide a very strong foundation of friendship. Going through a lot of ups and downs, can also enhance the relationship that are being built specially when it's in new. Chemistry to me supports that foundation being laid out. Alike minds, kindness, compassion and willingness to listen are important ingredients in building a good friendship.
Happiness and joy are the end result of a good friendship. Life is way too boring without friends.
Having said that there are many kinds of friends. Only you would really know and determine what kind of friendship you're building up with someone.
It's not easy for me to become a friend of anyone. I mean it in a real sense. I'm 70 years old and I have four of them. 55, 45, 30 and 20 years with each of them. True and real friends.
Good luck Crown. My sincere wishes for you if you're into building one.
Not easy, it takes a lot of work, commitment and sincerity to build a good friendship.
Cowboy hat, yes. Nice list there. I think I still have friends who do
not live up to all of that but.. maybe one day?
people out grow them.

You're a great advert for friendship.
Do you discourage friendship? Get what you want then get out.
Friendship is so effective that good company in younger age can make you a good person and bad company can make you a bad person.
Just add friendship to the relation which you want to make strong and lasting. because friendship acts as a booster and protector in every relation.
It's a bit like this site. There are predators here and others who like to join in when they can.
But the good that comes out of it is that it identifies the people who would make the worst friends.

Perhaps if Einstein was around he would understand and explain.
Friendships are forged usually when respect for the other is born out of achieving similar goals under pressure - like in a sports team.
There are friends and there is a close friend - Close friends can be a tad possessive, which can be a bit suffocating and restictive of you having other friends.
Genuine friends allow you freedom of movement to do what you want to, but will qickly be there for you if needed.

I said it and remain so in my position. It's a two way journey. Nothing is more enduring than riding the bumps of imperfections. If only to establish a true understanding of what truly a friendship is.
