Do you know the difference between being a good friend and being a companion?

Answer 1

True honest advise and confidence.

Answer 2

sure I do....a good friend is usually someone you tell all your feelings to (remember that there are only 3 of those in your entire life).

a companion is a person who is a caregiver (as in if you're sick and they have to watch you, or a person who takes you to the doctor and is paid for their services). The word companion these days "could" also mean the mate or partner in a homosexual union, although the word "companion" still means someone that does not do sex.

In the early 1900's a companion used to be a person of the opposite sex (like a nanny for the children of wealthy parents......and also like an escort...but even the word escort these days has changed over the years to mean something else) who takes you to church outings or movies but has no sexual contact with you.

Answer 3

I think I do know the difference. A good friend is absolutely way more valuable and important than a humble companion/

Answer 4

Being a companion is just being there for no specific reason.

Being a good friend is being there out of choice because you care.

Answer 5

To me a companion always follows you and you really don't know a lot about that person.

A good friend is someone who is there for when you need them and you can finish eachothers sentences

Answer 6

Sure do, though I don't keep much friends or at least at a distance, I'd like to think tht I'm one heck of a good friend no matter what obstacle they my be facing or success they've encountered I always share in the good and bad times, and they know how comforting that can be to know someone cares. :3)

Answer 7

definitely, a good friend will always give advice and such, and companion is someone to simply be there
