It is so hard to find and keep real friends. I really don't know who are my real friends are. I have met a lot of ppl from high school to college. It seems like ppl have more acquaintances than real friends. How many of you can honestly say that you have real and true friends that will be down for you no matter what? I'm not talking about on and off friends either.
Truthfully.....I'm not sure I have anything other than acquaintances. There are a few friends whom would probably do whatever they could IF I asked them too, but I'm too good a friend to impose on their busy lives, to ask them for help. I would be afraid of "putting them out" and then having them resent me.
Really....I'm not sure there are that many friend-worthy people OUT there!

I have real friends. I have around 10 people in my life that I could not run away if I wanted to. They put up with a lot my BS and they have gotten through the worst times of my life, especially when my father died two years ago. Whenever you find some, cherish them, they are impossible to find.

I definitely have one of those. He has been with me through thick and thin and I know he will do anything for me. I mean anything. He is one of the truest, most best persons I have ever met. We were engaged once, and I wish I could still feel the same way for him, but unfortunately I do not. He deserves someone so much better than I, and I do wish the very best for him [I have to say now that I know I never truly loved him (more than as a friend), which is too bad because I really felt that I had at one time. For such a good, kind person as he is, he really deserves someone to love him; at least, I feel that he does].
The others, I feel they are friends, but I'm not very close to them. The couple with whom I do keep up a correspondence have stuck by me through hard times and I do consider them friends--they are two people to be clear. I don't have many friends, but the ones I have are very true, kind people.
I believe I can. I met a my "real friend" in high school. She introduced me to her boyfriends best friend. They got married one month before we did. We've all been married for almost 30 years now. We stood for each other at our weddings. Raised our children together. Took vacations together. We moved away many years ago and only see each other about once or twice a year. We can take up conversations right where we left off. We can talk about everything (and always have been able to). There are no judgments made when we talk about our lives and how we've lived them. I count this woman as my one true real friend. I do not have to guard what I say or sensor my feelings with her. I have always thought how rare the relationship the 4 of us have is.
Well I'm not a people person but the only true friend I've found is my wife of 30 years.Hasn't always been that way but last 15 years couldn't be any better.
Had some that I thought was my Friend including Family found when things were Bad they would turn their back on me
I have about 10, from HS & college. No question. However, I have no idea how to make a new one and would love suggestions.
