A good friend is someone that is trustworthy.. The formula for a true friendship is simple – the support you receive should be equal to the support you give.We all want to have somebody to share with – our happiness or our sorrow, our success or our failure. A good friend will always listen to what you say and even to what you don’t say and will never reveal your secrets.I think that there is only one thing that is for certain: "The only way to have a friend is to be one." And you should forget about things like selfishness, hypocrisy lies and eth that may let your friends down. That’s the essence of friendship – to trust and support.
I've had one friend...great bloke too. He overcame many personal problems and issues to become a well ballanced and well respected figure. He was always there for me and I for him.
I loved him very much and respected him immensely. Even though we've lost touch due to him getting wed and leaving the country, we'd still be just the same I'm sure.

Yes the key to all relationships is trust and give and take...if it doesn't equal out and balance then it's hardly mutual!!!!!!!

trish123: somebody who is right by your side when you think all the rest of the world has deserted you - somebody who will say "hey you goofed, so what"
They say a good friend is one who walks in when rest of the world walks out.

sometimes, it takes a lot to actually 'be' a good friend........ where do we draw the line in supporting a friend when we disagree with some of the things they are doing?.........

I think a good friend in that case would say they disagree and why and yet let the friend make their own decisions...BUT still be there to support them when they need it...support doesn't have to mean agreement between friends!!!!!!!!

Is it true that true friendship comes when even the silence between two people becomes pleasant?
