For instance, on television and movies, you hear someone telling someone else after an argument that "I'm your friend." But sometimes, you hear "you're my friend." What's the difference? The former, I think, tells the other person that I'm there for you, but the latter considers the person as a friend. Which of the two is more "esteemed?" (If that makes any sense.) If someone say to you the former or latter, how will it affect your friendship?

I think I know what you are saying...
When a person says "you're my friend", they mean that they consider you as a friend. When a person says "I'm your friend", they are telling you that you consider them a friend (which sometimes isn't the case). I think it is possible for someone to be my friend without me being their friend. If that makes any sense.
It is better to hear "you're my friend"; if someone says "I'm your friend", they are kind of taking away your right to decide whether you consider them as a friend or not.

You are my friend - has a depth to it. it has life in it, its graceful and a Wing man style statment.
i like to hear "you are my friend" than "i am your friend"
"i am your friend" is imposing and selfish.
I vote for "you are my friend", and accepts the invitation whole heartedly
"i am your friend" - invitation accepted with caution.

When you say, "you're my friend", you are speaking for someone else. no no.

It's the same thing. Don't read too much into it.

"you're my friend" means you consider me a friend, someone you can count on "I'm you're friend" doesn't havta mean you reciprocate
