True friends

July 10 2013

Who has that one True Friend that would never let you give up on yourself, who has seen you in many different ways, who would never lie to you, is honest n gives you a kick up the bum when you deserve n need it! Or do they no longer exist?

    In my life anyway :-) I am very lucky that I have friends who are exactly like what you've described, plus more, OP. I can go to them at any time for help (all sorts, emotional and financial support, etc.) when I've hit the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and had no other options! And I have been friends with these friends for over 2 decades! Yes, there are more than one of them whom have not and never will give up on me! I am very grateful, hence my passion for giving back to the society through charity contribution :-)- Posted from rhpmobile

    To have a beautiful lady, who I've known for 32 years, as my best friend. She knows me so well tgat much can go unsaid. She recently jumped on a plane because she had to have a conversation face to face with me. I've had a few difficult times in the past 6 months and she just had to see for herself that I was OK. There is no replacement for that kind of friendship.- Posted from rhpmobile

    Said she didn't like my choices and wouldn't stand by and watch my train wreck. Given I have never once in all our years let her down, judged her for poor choices, flown her around the country, made sure she was safe, given her a place to live when she had none I kinda feel a bit numb about it all.   Yes I have fallen low.....but that's when I need you to be there most. (shrugs shoulders) Maybe you were never my friend to begin with. It's ok, I forgive you and accept that that is your choice.   I'll make it on my own.

    I had a friend,we had known each other for 16 years.She was my mentor when I first became involved with the Buddhist community on the Sunshine Coast...we were like family...for many years we worked on community arts projects together and then one day,literally overnight, she just decided that she no longer wanted to be my friend....it was because I didn't agree with her over a particular issue and phttt ,that was the end...it was for me at least,as painful as a divorce.....was she never my friend?....no she was my friend for all of those years,but people change,go on different journeys,the karma runs out...it is sad but just like any other relationship ,sometimes there is an ending......lots of hugs x R

    I have a picture of my bestie and I together as babies in nappies. That's 40 years of awesome friendship. Through thick and thin, good luck and bad, highs and lows. We almost have a sixth sense about each other when we know the other needs a pick me up. We're still dreamin' about the hippie commune too. We share the same naughty, warped sense of humour and I think we're still 6 sometimes the way we carry on!!!

    my best friend through highschool. Circumtances saw us lose touch for a while a few years ago and good old face book bought us together again...then not so long ago ironically face book also tore us apart again!! It was believed a status I wrote referred to her and without so much as a second look I was removed from her friends list and blocked!!! Thanks to the dear friends that have since come into my life I have realised that although we were great together as partying teens we had grown into completely different adults.

    I have a bestie, weve been friends for 35 years now, we dont always see eye to eye, we may go weeks with no contact, we dont always agree with the others choice in men , BUT she is the one girl who has seen me through all the major milestones in our lives, from my parents separating, my fathers sudden death, weve holidayed together, shared our weddings, and divorces, been first visitors when bubs arrived, know who each others family members are, seen each others kids grow up....and although we have other friends in our lives who we may see more often, shes the one person i can tell anything to....

    Not many people with more than 1 or 2 true friendsAs Mr Joel sings in "Say Goodbye to Hollywood""Say a word out of line you find that the friends you had are gone, forever, forever"Treasure them, as they do you.

    Yes, she was my bestie.....and yes was pretty much overnight too. Hugs gratefully accepted and given in return. A reason, a season or a lifetime. Given all the struggles it was also a good time while it lasted.....She blossomed back into someone truly spectacular. I'll get back there too...eventually. It's all a learning curve.

    We've had over 25 years together to build a relationship where today's grrr at each other is tomorrow's meh. We can laugh together and just move on. We love and laugh and lie together. We have fun and get into trouble together. I't's okay if I cry, ok if I don't say what I mean perfectly and vice-a-versa. We've supported each other through thick and thin, in sickness and in health etc hehe. He lets me be who I am and that is the best thing for me to find my own way. And I trust in him to do his best in life. He believes in me, I believe in him... so there's no need for arse kicking. That might not be exactly what you mean by a true friend Cheekys, but that's what he is to me. I've had other friends over time and that's a history that doesn't bear repeating.

    They do exist, I met my bestie at a pub close to 5 years ago through a mutual friend. I'd be completely lost without her, she is the only one who has been there for me no matter what has happened - and I've been through a fair bit since meeting her. We're complete opposites, I can count the number of things we have in common on one hand. But it works!- Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'BomChickaWahWah' Love!!! Ms PP! Love!!!The quote I used in the heading is an actual sticker I've had since early in our relationship... I'm sure a lot here remember the 'Happiness is...' quotes.I love him and I like him... and I think that's a likely way to feel about our true friends.... but if I'm to to agree that he is not a true friend, and that it's only love... then I have no true friend.

    I met my Bestie at my eldests kindy, we both had 3kids under 5 and helped each other keep our sanity through the younger years. She has moved quite a distance away, but we still manage to get together and have a drink and a gossip as often as possible. I love her and wouldn't give her up for the world!

    I have 2 friends that I would consider lifelong besties. I've known 1 for 24 years, the other for 15 years. I couldn't imagine life without them 2 beautiful women. They've been the most loyal people I've ever known. Not shy about telling me to pull my head in, or knowing what's wrong without ever saying it. Love them to bits.

    I could tell her anything, we solved the problems of the world, minded each others children, gave advice and perspective on all manner of life issues, we vetted profiles for each other, picked up the pieces and put each other back together again when required.Then in the middle of a conversation she said "well you only date sluts"End of.
