When things for me have got tough I have really found out who my true friends were, and although I have many acquaintences I realized my true friends that were there for me , I could count on one hand'

They listened to me

Never judged me

Let me know they cared

Laughed with me/cried with me.

Most importanly, they never gave up on me.

Of course its a two way street.


What does friendship mean to you?

My best friend pushed me to my limits;
he made me cry,he pissed me off;he showed
me that it was ok to let the anger out,
to heal.He gave me words of encouragement,
he gave me hugs,he gave me his friendship.
Thank you for sticking it out with me;
without you,I would've given up years ago.hug

For me it means having someone who accepts me for all my faults and flaws.Someone who's able to forgive me for my shortcommings and to realize that I'm only human and not perfect.

A friend who's there for me just because.

Oh I also forgot the main thing for me

My friends here have recently made me realise that it is ok to accept help and support and even to ask for help and support..

They have made me see that by doing that it doesn't make me less of a person or weak

Thank you so much for helping me to open up to that hug

Exactly, that's what I think and feel about friendship. Especially the two way street part, many like to receive help, but when your in need, they are no where to be found!!

I have also found that very few people really understand what true friendship really means!!

Bless you morgan!! comfort hug bouquet grin cool

To cry or laugh together is not a symbol of true friendship,true friendship is an other thing ,it requires to be together in tough times,to face the tough time togetherdunno

Btw, dead on...especially the part about it being a two-way street. You have to give the same when it's needed in return, or it's not real friendship. wine

Bless you morgan!!
For a while my life was my worst nightmare, I was really frightened and was thrown a life line to start again, not financially but someone believed in me helped me on my feet again, regain some confidence and feel strong enought to start again.

When my Grandaughter was stillborn, I went to pieces trying to be strong for my Son, but inside my heart was breaking and the hardest thing for me was I could not take his suffering away.

Some people on this site were truly amazing, letting me talk things thro by mail, just being there for me.

Enough of my waffling laugh hug
