What are you like as a friend? What is your place in the dynamics of your group of friends?

Loyal, generous, and I bring great desserts.

Loyal to a fault, I am often told.

And I'm usually the quiet one in the group. I don't feel like every silence needs to be filled.

I am extremely loyal. I will do all I can to help someone I consider a friend.
I am usually the friend that they talk to...

BUT I am not the friend who can be taken advantage of... Lie to me, abuse my kindness, and the dynamics change DRASTICALLY.

I'm very loyal, Friendship means sooooo much to me.

IN fact, I care about my friends more than myself, maybe that sounds weird but it's true.

If someone of my friends asked for money I would give them even if I'm in need, I did that many times.

I wonder who the first will be to admit they are not loyal and will stab you in the back for a nickel...

My friends and I are mostly social with each other. I’m someone to call to go DO stuff with.

I’m also a friend to be silly and laugh with. I don’t know what other people’s friendships are like but most of my close friends and I have times where we laugh and laugh and laugh. Often over the stupidest things.

If you’re in the hospital, I’m gonna visit and bring flowers. Or candy or something nice.

If you need help and I can provide it, I’m there too. Goodness knows I’ve been helped out by so many of my friends throughout the years. I could never begin to repay the favor.

Basically, I strive to be the kind of friend I’d want to have.

I am exactly the same.

I'm the fifth wheel; the reserve on the bench.

I don't really mind.

I am the friend who never calls.

I am the friend who will sit with you and listen if you need to talk for ten minutes or three hours. I'm a very active listener and I'm good at (and enjoy) offering feedback, support, empathy or whatever you may need. I don't mind giving advice as long as it's asked for, but I will never tell you what to do. I will cook for you, make you laugh, give you compliments and lots of hugs.

But I will really never call you. I hate talking on the phone.

I'm also not good at remembering birthdays or getting around to buying presents.

And I'm not the hanging out at the bar and getting wasted friend, either.

a positive and supportive friend..but can be lost in his own world at times..

I'm like that, too.

that's me too

I have a great friend who is the same, we haven't talked in 5 years now since neither of us ever call. Once we saw each other on the street!!!

I'm one of the guys. I am always joking around - although a friend said my humour was cryptic

I'm not so good with people who are in distress or want me to take sides - I'm pretty bad at backing up a friend who is in a fight or argument or confrontation, not because I don't love them, but I HATE to not think something through before blurting out stuff.

I AM good in an emergency though, calm and level-headed, although if someone else is taking charge I defer to them.

All in all, I don't know if I make a very good friend really

The kind who will have you paged at the store, send you some random shit I thought was funny in the mail and ask you to photograph me hitchhiking in a Snuggie.

I'm loyal. I'm direct. We will not always agree, but we'll have a lot of fun.

And like some others have mentioned already...I don't much like the phone.

My best friend and I talk once a month, for about 2 hours. We've been doing this since college.
My closest friend from college & I talk a couple of times a year.

But both of them knows I will be there for them....

That reminds me - if you have been wronged, I will go to WAR for you. Whether verbally handing someone their ass on a platter, helping you get justice in a job/government/other situation where you're getting screwed, fucking up a motherfucker's car, whatever! I'm a ride or die friend!

And I'm the friend you always call if you need to find something online. My maiden name, Hazard, became a synonym for Google, as in "Hazard that shit and find out!"

Nowadays? I'm a lousy one

I don't know, I mean aside from ONE person, I'm in a different place than all of my other friends.

I love them, but I have to love them from a distance if I want to keep them in my life.

I'm the one you call for spelling and grammar and fancy words

I'm the swashbuckling pirate one!

I'm always getting into crazy scrapes involving, eh, whoever is the natural enemy of the the pirate....

Giant squids?

I made you laugh?

You make ME laugh!

You are the Internet friend who makes me laugh.

PunkMistress said:

As long as you're not some ocean-dwelling, be-tentacled sea beast, than that's grand.

And you don't call, because, you know, can't be assed with all that.....

now I'm thinking about calamari or salt and pepper squid

So many ppl seem to think it means I don't care about them, but that's not it at all. There are 2 or 3 people I enjoy talking on the phone with, but in general I don't like it.

Many people in my life take this personally and I know it upsets them, but it's not going to change.

I'm gonna call you everyday just to say hi...
[Edited 3/8/10 17:18pm]

im the kind no one calls or bothers til they need something..
yet im always there for them..
its rare that i ever need something from someone.. but every once in a while i do..
sometimes im surprised by someone being there when i need them..
but most of the time not too surprised..
so i guess im the kind of friend people can count on...
if they remember to call me
cuz im not reminding them..
