I want to get everyone's opinion on what a friend is to them and what it means to be a friend to someone else. Please include examples of your own friendship dynamics. I'll give you my definition later


Thanks!

Stop jacking my thread and answer the question

I can go on and on, but I will leave some room for the rest of yall

Janfriend said:

sorry

but seriously.....nah, not today

a friend is someone who lends you money when your ex spouse has not paid your alimony.

KebabKing said:

What do you mean "not today?" You don't want to answer the question?

you wouldnt get any sense out of him anyway.

i would define a friend as someone who is willing to kill anxiety for me.

by the way, i also can pay my new friends 25,000 if anyone is interested in being a new friend. (offer is limited to first new friend who completes the friendship task)

cborgman said:

[Middle English, from Old English frēond.]

friend'less adj.
friend'less·ness n.
WORD HISTORY A friend is a lover, literally. The relationship between Latin amīcus “friend” and amō “I love” is clear, as is the relationship between Greek philos “friend” and phileō “I love.” In English, though, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frēond, the Old English word for “friend,” was simply the present participle of the verb frēon, “to love.” The Germanic root behind this verb is *frī–, which meant “to like, love, be friendly to.” Closely linked to these concepts is that of “peace,” and in fact Germanic made a noun from this root, *frithu–, meaning exactly that. Ultimately descended from this noun are the personal names Frederick, “peaceful ruler,” and Siegfried, ”victory peace.” The root also shows up in the name of the Germanic deity Frigg, the goddess of love, who lives on today in the word Friday, “day of Frigg,” from an ancient translation of Latin Veneris diēs, “day of Venus.”
