What is a true friend?
*πΆTrue friends love you when you're down,* *Happy when you're up,* *Right by your side when trials come.* *Speak up if you're wrong,* *Commend you, when you're right...π΅* Isn't it beautiful? That is a song that interprets what is a true friend means. **For you what is a true friend? Is it the one who can make you happy and a good companion? Or is it the one that influenced you badly?** Sometimes, people want to have a friend 'coz they know that they can get benefits on it. But, can you really get a true friend if your **ONLY** purpose is to get the benefit out of that person? *There's a woman who has a lot of friends on her social media account (Facebook). She got almost 1000 friends. But, did you know that* ***NO ONE*** *ever replied to her when she asks for help before she commits suicide? How awful, isn't it? Why do you think it happens? Do you think she finds her true friend out of that 1000 FB friends?* A **true friend** is not just a companion. He can help you when problems arise. He can sticks to you closer than a brother. And you can say that he was born, to help you with your conditions. So how can you choose a true friend? Choose the one who has the same belief, perspective, viewpoint, and philosophy as you. It might be hard at first, but when you found that one, it's really worth it. He can support you physically, spiritually, and financially. Some people can't find their true friends. You know why? They search for the wrong place. For example, some tend to accept a friend whoever, wherever, and whatever it is. It's true that you can easily find a new friend online or on any social media account. But, many people are pretentious online. And for sure, we don't want to have a friend who is just pretending and not really sincere in his words. So, instead of searching for your true friend online, why not try to find it in your own place. Remember that a true friend doesn't mean that you need to have the same age or even culture. **I'm happy that I have true friends right now. And I know that they are faithful and can be my true friend continuously, maybe until forever π , right @esciisc?** Actually, @esciisc and I know each other personally. And I'm one of her affiliates. I consider her one of my so-called *"true friends"*. We didn't grow on the same family, lifestyle, beliefs, and even place. π But I'm happy that I met this person. I know that I can depend on her when the problem occurs. I know that she's always there to say something if I was wrong. See? If I found one, I'm sure you can find it too. π Thanks for reading. π Please leave a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't, and comment down below your thoughts and opinions. π

For me, the concept of friendships, bonds and connections is simple. What's important is, if you love yourself more, or if those people make you feel better about yourself, then they really are to be kept. I'm not saying that its all about you, and the benefits that you get, but if everyone is aiming for self-growth, then maybe peace and unity is of our control. Another thing, if you feel like you're just trying to please that someone you call "friend" then I guess its time to rethink, ponder and eventually have some change of heart. Lets all be real and lets start by ourselves.
>if you feel like you're just trying to please that someone you call "friend" then I guess its time to rethink, ponder and eventually have some change of heart This is so true. Don't try to change yourself to be accepted by that "friend." If they like you, they must like you as the real you. Not the pretentious one. Thanks for that comment. It adds to the information. π
>I consider her one of my so-called "true friends". We didn't grow on the same family, lifestyle, beliefs, and even place. π But I'm happy that I met this person. Waaaaah! I'm touched reading this Amyt! I'm happy to have you as my 'true friend' as well π A friend that turned into 'family' (lol don't get confused, I mean the PSLG family) And for sure there's forever in us hahahaha >For you what is a true friend? See? As friends, our minds seems to be in sync haha. You know I was thinking of writing an article about true friends too thinking about you and the siopaos π
>A friend that turned into 'family' I'm not thinking of the literal family, but you mentioned it... So, what do you want me to conclude with that? π Make your own version of this article. π
Just don't make any conclusion. There's no hope in that π >Make your own version of this article. I've made a short post instead with a link to this article hehe
Until they're not married... Maybe there's a chance. Joke π€π Thanks for that. π
I've got a Panda, so no thanks π
I hope @Read.Cash creates a react button here. I want to react to some LOL face π, but there's no react button. π€·ββοΈ
lol I hope so too coz' we are so fond of using those react buttons. Maybe we can send an email to @read.cash to make a request π€
I am a lucky girl because i have some true friends whose are support me all time.And when i am depressed they try to keep happy me.True friend is really blessing for everybody.
Nice thing you have it too. I forget to put that word in my article - "blessing". They are really a blessing in times of distress.
A friend in need is a friend indeed. A very old and true saying about friendship. Thanks for sharing this wonderful article
This is my first time hearing that saying. Thanks, for sharing that too. π
Oh really. I read it as a kid in school, we used to have stories with moral and one of them had this moral
And you still remember it?? Wow. You have a good memory. π
Hahah no nothing like that but that was the time they made us memorize everything little things in school. That is why I still remember it I guess
Little kids are so good at memorizing. Like the memory card... Their brains function well because it is very unoccupied. π Unlike us adults.
Very true. I believe the same and you can mold their brains anyway you want. That is why they always say start them young
Incredibly real. They can learn easily. Actually, even they're not yet born... Still in the tummy π , they can learn things.
Yes and how fascinating is that?. They are very good swimmers by birth because they learn it in the mothers womb
I have a friend here in readcash too. She is @mykee :) A friend who will always there to listen when you have problem and ofcourse I am here also when she has a problem. A non ending talks when we are in the office. Laughing for some green jokes haha. Its been 3 years since we last met because she already resign and never got a chance to meet again because Im here at the province now. I miss you bes! I am the one who introduce readcash to her cause I know she will love it too and I am right π
Good thing you found one. π It's happy to enjoy our life with a true friend at our side. π
Yes bes.. Distance is not a reason to let the friendship end.. In someway our friendship getting stronger and deeper.. Thank you also for being one of my friend and introducing read.cash.. Although I'm busy this past few days and doesn't have any article I got some points..π Maybe when the pandemic end we can meet again.. I miss you too bes..β€β€β€
For me a true friend is the one who you can rely on. A true friend, even though you don't communicate for a long time still he/she consider you as a friend.
That's one of my weakness. I'm not good at communicating to my far away friends. I still choose to have a friend who is near and can talk personally.
Its so rare tp find your soul friend. Luckily found oneπ happy for ypu dear
Thanks, Yayaya13 π
True friends are supposed to be one of your critics. they should honestly tell you insights about your behavior whether it's good or bad so you know what to improve and what what attitude to keep.
Yes, @Jdine. You got it right. Just like the song... Speak up if you're wrong, Commend you, when you're right...π΅
what song ahhaha
Stay strong on your friendship!
Thank you @marcmire. I hope you found one too.
There is only one trusted amongst million friend and when you found that one then treasure it..
π€ I love it. Thanks for that. π
First off, a true friend is very hard to find. My parents often told me that if someone can find one true friend, they are blessed. I've been blessed to find one. The way I differentiate a friend from a "true" friend is through how I put his best interests above mine at all times, and vice versa. This means that I'm just as glad--if not much more--to see my friend succeed than myself; this is reciprocated for how my friend feels for me.
What a nice idea. I love how you differentiate it. Thanks for the comment and opinion. π
You are welcome π
True friend keep love in time of sad
Every words in song a true, if you want true friend then find a person who shout at you when you are wrong, stay to your side when you dont have money, or when you don't have anything or when you are in hardship. Advice you to be good.. I am a friendly person but I have only one best friend she is my twins.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessingsβ€β€
Having good frnd is a blessing ... However Nice writing π
Been able to found 1 true friend would be the best,the song you just posted is very much true to them..But being an introvert,I dont know if I do have a friend.so when Im down,i locked up and cry it out..
True friendship is really very rare in modern complicated worldβΊοΈβΊοΈ
one time in colllege i was broke, and my friend who was also broke but not as broke as I was saw that I did not have much. He gave me cash the next day knowing that he too was broke. I have never left him since that day
>πΆTrue friends love you when you're down, Happy when you're up, Right by your side when trials come. Speak up if you're wrong, Commend you, when you're right...π΅ It's all true
Because of your article, I now miss my best of friends again. Its been a while since we have our moments and bondings together. I miss them so much.
True friends are hard to find. So many pretentious and make you belief their true. So if you already find them, treasure them. 'Cause true friends are worth to treasure. Luck I found themπ
True friends are always there for you whatever happens.
It's true @Mark012207. They're always there when you need them. Actually, even you don't expect them, they're there... To annoy you. π
That's true but it is a very happy momentπ€£
