Friends

well, ive always wondered if my friends were really my friends or not. how can you tell if somebody really likes you or if theyre just pretending? also, have you ever felt like you dont even fit in with your friends? like, you dont belong with the people you usually hang out with?

 

that's an easy one. try asking them personal questions. if they dodge the question a lot or change the subject, that's a sign of insencierty. and just hang out with them, it's no big deal if u don't fit in, they're ur friends

 

Well, what type of friends do you have?

 

true, but i meant that i dont fit in as in i get left out alot (im pretty sure im not the only one that thinks that)
edit
um, i really have no clue they dont tell me to much...
another edit
oh yeah, and lets let this not just be about me, ok?

 

Friends are friends. If they ask something other than friendship in return, there's something wrong.

 

A friend will bail you out of jail.
A great friend will go to jail with you and say"Damn that was fun! let's do that again!"
I think.....

 

No, that would be stupid.

 

they're ppl u can talk to. ppl u care about. and ppl u can hang out with, don't hang out with anyone u don't like, that's just stupid.

 

Well...

You know your friends are your friends because they don't put personal honor in front of you, and they treat you with respect. Like honesty. :/

I learned this the hard way. <_<;

 

Friiends wshould except you,no matter what.
If your gay,were experimenting with your sexual prefrences,or even if you were in jail for some period of time.If someone doesn't except you,because of some facts about you,they are not true friends.I have found this out before,and it wasn't pretty.Friends will do favor's for you,help you for whatever reason.A friend is someone you can depend on.

 

Well if you feel like that i think you should talk to them. Trust me i had to learn this by the hard way...really painfull..

 

I think the best way to tell if they are your friends is to put them in your room.
Leave money there.(In plain view)
Then go to the bathroom.
If the money is still there when you get back, they are your friends.

 

I found out who my real friends were when I had a few difficulties. They were the ones who didn't judge me and were there for me. It's amazing how people disappear when you need them to stick with you, but real friends are there to help. I trust my friends and they trust me, as we've been through some 'interesting' times together and come out the other end ok.

 

True, but I have friends that would do steal even from their best friend. But I think that's cuz they're not mature enough to understand what a real friend is.
I guess there are 2 types of friends: The real ones that you can trust all your life. And the party friends and hang out freinds.
Damn I have too many of the second one and not enough of the first one..

 

Ask them "Would you die for me?" If they say yes, then they are you real friends.. Then you kiss them, caress them and.. -censored- XDDD Nah I'm kidding. People can suggest lots of ways to find out who your real friends are, but you'll never really know. You don't know whats going on in their head. You could have a really emotional talk with them, but their 'sincere' answers could be an act. I guess you just have to trust them, and if they are decent enough, they trust you too :/ This topic is confusing me XD

 

I consider anyone I trust, can have fun with, and likes me for who I am a true friend.

But you will never actually 100% know if they actually are your true friends.

 

Obviously, but their are those you will always get support from whom you can supposedly trust. And then you have the party friends. I guess I sorta divide them into those two groups.

 

You're completely right. I have a few close friends who I know I can rely on 100% and they know they can rely on me. I also have quite a few 'party' friends, who are fun to hang out with. That's an excellent description Axel.

 

problem is I have too many second category (though you might never have too many) compared to first category...

 

I think that's how it works. I only have a few in the first category, but they are real diamonds. I found that you only need a few when push comes to shove, but those few become priceless.

I would always be there for them as well, as thats what true friendship is.

Most people in my friends category are the second type, who I really love to hang out with, but I wouldn't expect them to go above and beyond the fun bit.
