I think true friendship is the most unselfish thing that we can do. It means granting some importance to others; and being able to accept the good with the bad. It is such a learning experience too, and broadens your viewpoint.
I think it is possible, but it takes a lot of give and take; and willingness to accept that "to err is human, to forgive is divine"
Hope this helped!

Yes. True friendship happens when you feel safe enough to share your heart with the other but you also know how to respect eachother's boundaries.
It doesn't happen often but when you find a friend like that hopefully they're your friend for life.

Yes. Indeed very seldom to come by because most friendships are stuck within a certain time period, like those in elementary or middle school. Most people tend to become better friends in college or while working.

You have added the premise here as an adjective.
The only way to have "true" anything is to first have truth. That is the difficult part.

Yes, it is.
But it is extremely unusual.
Most friendships are really just companionships and are quickly dropped when they stop being useful to either person.
But these useful relationships have a value and should not be rejected just because they aren´t very deep rooted.

True friendship is only between you & your parents- or a relative who you really love and loves you back..

true friendship is possible if we realise that it has to be unconditional...like love a real friend makes no judgements and stands by his/her friend whatever...this can be hard and many a friendship has foundered because judgement and conditions creep in...regards jet

Depends on how "true" is defined in relation to "friendship"
