Someone who stands along side regardless of what kind of mood you are in.
Someone who accepts you for all your faults.
Someone who is there through the good all the good,bad times and all the in between times.Someone who will always listen without passing judgement.
Someone who feels like family.

You left the light on the stairs on.
No need to close the curtains. I like to live vicariously.
Stedan: Both new pics are pretty nifty....
Mine was supposed to be a Disguise.
Elegsabiff: When you're going through a tough time do you want to be left alone until you are ready to party again, or do you expect your closest friend to take all your crap, even when you lash out?
I've got some Goldie's and some new friends....... Unfortunately, a lot of people fall into the old adage... 'Your friends will love you as long as they need you, but when you're down and out they'll walk out and leave you.'
Friends are just people you care about, who care about you.
Relationships, are about both people involved.
To expect all my friendships to function the same way,
would be to expect all my friends to be the same person.
While I am the same person in all my relationships my relationships
with different people, differ.

Then they're not friends.

That's when you find the real ones, for sure

I'm not even the same person in all my relationships. No dishonesty to it (I don't think) but friendships are built on different ground. I'm goofy with a friend who dates back to my teens, a good listener with others, source of sage advice for others. I do like the goofy friends, though
Someone who is brutally honest with you even if it hurts.

to borrow some money to each other makes true friendship
ali110: to borrow some money to each other makes true friendship
Never ever lend a friend money. Give, yes, and never think of it again. Never lend.

A friend is who is listening to you, who is always telling you when you are wrong, is keeping your secrets, is letting you to have your attempts, but is always ready to support and comfort you if you fail, is helping you in case of need and is not giving up you.
RainComeShine: Someone who is brutally honest with you even if it hurts.
Yerrsssss - true, when you ask for honest. Someone who is brutally honest when honesty is the last thing you want or need is more of an enemy ...
But sure, to a lot of people a friend is someone who is nice all the time. True friends never let you face anything bad on your own - they got your back, they're always there when needed. Not just to massage your ego, either.

YES. Getting some ace definitions!

I have often got myself in big trouble for being brutally honest but that's just me.

I'm afraid that's me too. I couldn't bear to watch a friend dig a big hole for themselves that they may not be able to climb out of. In my opinion I just think they should know so they have all their cards on the table even at the expense of our friendship.
I hope they will do the same for me. Tactfully of course!
psygnar: all of the above and also not stabbing u in the back.
A friend would never stab you in the back.

Rain and CC - brutally honest / tactfully honest - um, which? Quite a difference! Brutal is brutal by definition.
psygnar: all depends if they want to throw u under the bus to save their own skin.
Old joke if you go swimming in shark-infested waters with a friend - carry a sharp knife, and if a hungry shark pitches up, nick your friend with the knife. Then you don't need to outswim the shark - just your friend.
I suppose it becomes important to have a stock of disposable friends.

It may feel brutal however tactfully it's delivered.
At the end of the day honesty can only be the truth.
A friend is someone with whom you are totally selfless. When you are only interested in their well being.
Eg. Once widowed my best friend was thinking of moving hundreds of miles away to be amongst her large family.
Much as I didn't want to lose her I could see how it would improve her quality of life.

That's the worst thing about coming from another country - ALL my best friends are thousands of miles away. Thank heavens for phones and Skype
but I don't see where you were brutal - or do you mean she was, about wanting to go?Obstinance_Works: Actions make a friend. Mutual selfless action makes a friendship. Yours and their ability to completely 180 on what you want and instead do what is right by the other(s) - something which I notice women struggle with which is why none of my best friends are girls.
BFF?? That's just branding to disguise that they won't act right. Wordplay to make a friendship seem more profound than it is. Men have no need for BFF.

Yours is a rare friendship and no, not a sane woman living would take a beating for you. We're not wired that way. Genetic programming. Women can and do offer fundamental rock-level stuff, but that's not really a friendship remit, more a relationship one.

Maybe brutal was a bit strong but it's quite a common phrase to say that one is being brutally honest. I think we tend to see it as being very honest really and not at all brutal.
