Friends are good to have in your life but sometimes they can cause troubles. The definition of a true friend, in my opinion is someone who is always there, listens to what you are saying, and is honest to you no matter what. It’s amazing how you think your best friend is your true friend when really they’re not. I’ve had friends like that in the past but, they came and they went. Have you had friends like that?
A best friend is someone who is there for the moment and has the potential of becoming your true friend. You just have to decide whether they should or not. I have best friends and a potential true friend, but all of that can change in a day. Don’t get me wrong, I love all of my friends, and I thank God for all of them, but people change. Have your friends ever changed into a whole new person right before your eyes?
I also have friends that I just talk to (nothing personal). I call them associates because I have no ties to them other than the fact that we speak, sometimes. Associates can also be taken as untrue friends because if they really don’t care about your feelings, they can go and talk about you behind your back. Then, they are considered back stabbers, but that is a different story. So, analyze your friends and see whether they really are your friends and respond back!
Hey, i hope you aren’t talking about me!
ReplyDeleteHowever, yeah I do agree with you! I had friends and now I do not even think I like them anymore because of what they did to me in the past!
I thought I had TRUE FRIENDS, but they turned out to be BACK STABBERS, and I hate those kinds of people! If you are going to talk about me then why talk to me in the first place?
I love all of my friends, but some of them are just a person that I can do without having a strong friendly relationship! I really can do without many of my so-called "friends". So starting right now im cutting some unnecessary friends off!
A lot of times, some people just don't know how to be a friend. We should remember to treat people like we want to be treated regardless to how they treat us.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, you just be the best person/friend you can be. Yes, I agree, sometimes you do have to cut people off. When you cut them off, treat them with compassion, they may not know how to handle true friendship.
You will have several associates, but few friends.
i think that friends are need. who will be there for you when you need them? friends will.
ReplyDeletebut you have to be careful about the friends that you choose in life. there are good friends and bad friends. but you have to get to know them before you can judge them.
a good friend will help you through anything. but a bad friend will talk about you behind your back. they will also try to get you in trouble.
Its crazy you brought that up because I was thinking about that exact same thing earlier.I have this NOW associate...lets call her Brook,who I have watched transform into something I know that she is not.
ReplyDeleteSo Brook and I used to be best friends. We have known each other ever since 4th grade and I always had to be the one to keep her in check. Everything kind of changed once we got to 7th grade. We didn't have any classes together. My best friend became Tyeaisha (as most of you know) and hers whoever.
Anyways now Brook and I barely associate. We no longer talk on the phone. We might hang together at games or something but other than that, there's nothing else really to say.
I think that it is really hard to find true friends. A true friend is not necessarily the friend you have had the longest but the friend that can keep a secret, help you with your problems, and not leave you out in the cold when you are going through a hard time.
ReplyDeleteThough I have had many friends in my life, I only think that I have 3 true friends. One of these friends have known me for a long time. He has always been there for me and he talks to me about anything. We help each other through our problems and try to do the best we can for each other. The other 2 people are new in my life.
The other 2 people are new to my life. I met one this year and the other one when I was in 6th grade. I talk to these people as if I have known them my whole life. They are good listeners and they understand the things that happen. I hope I find many more true friends in my life.
Danielle, I totally agree with what you are saying. This same exact thing has happened to me in the past but, you just have to watch out for those fake friends and real ones.
ReplyDeleteIt really hard to have true friends, and now a days you have no choice but to have "associates". Me personally, I don't have any best friends, true friends, besties, none of that.
It's just a matter of looking and watching out. Give them little test or something that you may think will prove that their true.
I have many associates but, only two real friends. True friends are hard to find. And it means a lot when you call someone a true friend.
ReplyDeleteI have some people I talk to a lot, and those people are my friends. We hang out sometimes and I enjoy talking to them. But, I wouldn't tell them anything I wouldn't want repeated.
People are mean. And it can be really hard to trust someone. So I think it's smarter to have one or two true friends instead of five that you tell everything to. Because, honestly I don't want everyone to know every little thing about me.
