You have the person's best interest at heart.
at all times.
You don't backstabb.
You are there for them when they need you.
You have the highest respect for them.
You also know that you are able to tell that person anything and you know that with all certainty it won't go any further than the two of you.
Also similar to a love relationship without trust and communication it's most certainly not a friendship after all.
where friendship is concerned, Expect nothing and you will lose nothing,
expect everything and lose it all.
However in real life, I only have three at the moment. One who's been my friend since College and one after I graduated and started teaching and the third is my fellow employee.
Friendship is to me a very serious relationship. Like CC said, one that you trust and stand by you when time gets rough. One that you can share everything and remains between the two of you.
One that makes our world more bearable and most of all respect and trust.
What do you think?
I think it kind of fits.
I gave up one of my oldest relationship of friendship due to mistrust and betrayal. Just like love, it can end, but the longest friendship I have have weathered most bad times and lasted even longer than my marriage of 28 years.
I have a couple good friends in real life who I see on a regular basis and those I would consider real and true friends.
They are the kind of friends I describe in my first post.
I actually want to delete except two that I'm communicating with that can qualify as friends.
I blocked the world and for them to communicate with me, they must be on my friend's list.
But yes, acquaintance is more appropriate.
I'd much rather have a couple of real good friends than a bunch of fakers.
I don't have good time and energy to waste on fake people.At times the internet can be quite full of those kinds of people.
I agree Pal,
That's why;
"the level of reciprocity one would expect from another."
Lies in between the nothing and the everything.
Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
