What is a true friend?

Answer 1

Someone you can trust, talk to them about anything and you know they'll understand. You don't have to even think twice before even talking to them, because you know they will understand. Sadly, I haven't met this person.

Answer 2

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:

* the tendency to desire what is best for the other,
* sympathy and empathy,
* honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth,
* mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than acquaintanceship, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and acquaintanceships. Friendship and acquaintanceship can be thought of spanning across the same continuum.

The principal disciplines studying friendship are sociology, anthropology and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles. See Interpersonal relationships

A true friend is someone who really cares for you. Whenever you're sick they'll be right at your doorstep handing out a card to you. They'll worry over you when something's wrong and they'll always be there when you're down. When you're being teased or bullied, they'll stand up for you. Even if you get into a fight, they'll know to forgive you and try to make the friendship work no matter what. No matter what, they'll always be right at your side helping you throughout the whole way.
