what is the meaning of friendship to you?

When it comes to my friends I count on them for advice, love, care, and honesty. I hope if they feel some way about anything , me included, they would let me know how they truely feel . I have made many friends in my life and for the most part we usually always get along. I have also observed that some friends call me to see how I am doing and care about my well being while some pretend like they care but in reality are actually calling cuz they need something,whatever that may be...

I have recently introduced two of my friends to each other and later found out that one said some negative things about me to the other. I guess they didn't think that friend would tell me what was said but at least I can determine the fake from the real.

It's rare that I have problems with my true friends. To me discussions/ conclusions/ solutions are great to have between friends but arguemnents/fighting are not something I will do with any friends , ever. Don't get me wrong I have had a few fallouts with a few friends but I'm proud to say that the ones who were/are genuine friends I have regained as friends and we worked things out!

A few months ago I posted a thread about a friend of mine overdosing from some serious drugs. Last week another friend of mine experienced a heart attack which he survived but he was placed on life support and the doctor mentioned he may need a transplant to survive. As the days went by in the hospital he was improving (so I thouht) They ended up taking him off of life support because of how well he seemed to be doing but later that night his heart failed and he was dead. Another friend gone, another funeral to attend.

With all of this said I will end by saying ..... be true to your self, be true to others, cherrish your friends while they are here... IMHO a person should be their own best friend 1st before they can be friends with other people.

Friendship, eh?! Funny old thing. I'm lucky to have a number of good friends who I can be myself around and they just accept me for who I am. Warts and all, as the saying goes. And I accept them for who they are, warts and all.

I guess that's the meaning of true friendship for me. And if you are lucky enough to have that understanding between two people then there's nothing you wouldn't do for them. Well, within reason, of course.

The meaning of friendship to me? I don't expect too much from my friends... honesty being the only important thing to me, really.

I don't think that I'm a very good friend, though. I'm loyal and honest and will be there for my friends the moment they need me, however, I'm not always available when they don't. I've had trouble with that since I was a little girl, it's something I really need to work on.

I agree. I've had so many so-called "friends" ditch me at times when I've needed them the most.

When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places

Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in

'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places


I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I finish this glass
Then sweet little lady
I'll head back to the bar
And you can kiss my ass
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

The MEANING of Friendship.....

Dunno, im trying 2 figure out the definition of this as im going through a real tough time with my closest friends riight now and after 2day I could be friendless.

My best friend refuses 2 put any effort in2 stop getting drunk and acting like a prick when he does and causing shit and I cant handle it anymore. He very arrogantly gave me a choice, either put up with the way he is or jump the boat.

After Saturday nights bullshit where he started on 1 of my other bestest friends he showed no remorse and didnt apologise 2 me 4 dragging me in2 it all, cuz sum1's gotta stay with him and stop him from getting himself killed.

And talking about it round my mates house yesterday was almost as bad, cuz when another mate of mine was telling him how much of a dick he was being he just kept laughing at what he'd done, which made me feel sick.....i had 2 leave.

Itsa shame he's such an asshole when he drinks cuz hes such a lovely guy when hes not and i love him but i cant put up with this anymore and hes 2 arrogant and doesnt care bout me anough 2 even try and change.

The guy he started on has decided not 2 be friends with me anymore, and i'll lose another of my closest friends if I stop being his mate cuz he's known this guy alot longer than me.

Shall i jump.....

?
