Greetings CCers!

I know there are a few others here that struggle with loneliness so I thought I'd ask the question; what would you say is a good friendship? I tend to think a meaningful friendship is when the other person knows my deepest and darkest secrets and still accepts and loves me. And so until then I can be 'friends' with someone, but not really 'good' friends.

Would you agree?

Hmm, true friendship...


"Think of your three closest friends. Then think about whether you would trust them with the key to your front door. If the answer is no, find some better friends."

I still remember
"A friend in need is a friend indeed"
Loves others as you love yourself. How the way you want others to treat you, that things you should do.
And yes, when we hv friends we must show them about love, careness, giving possitive effect and become good listener.
Not judging about the pass but see him/her as a real personality right now.

First, nobody knows anybodies deepest darkest secrets. 'TRUE' or best friends know more than the rest, yet still don't know everything. I have been blessed to have lifelong friends who share so much of my life's details, it's simply beautiful. Just last night we had a fish-fry, love me some fresh river catfish. We talked a lot about times gone by with friends that are now gone on. I am blessed to have that trust. I hope everyone has this in their lives. Just keep in mind, the very best way to have 'true' friends, is to be a true friend.
