Its not easy being a true friend or making one because a true friend is not a state of mind.
A friend is sincere and is willing to help you, when you have a problem. They’ll be there when you fall short. Friends are people that will never cross you even if they feel their way is right.
A friend is not someone you have to hang out with all the time and see every day. They are the people who will drop everything and go help you when you need it, they are a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and a voice to soothe. A friend is the one that tells you when you're being annoying, arrogant, funny…. A friend is not fake and pretends to like you because of some specific reason.
A lot of people confuse true friends with acquaintances. People who you go out and party with but know absolutely nothing about you are not real friends, they are fun to be around with but would they really help you out when you need it?
Aristotle said it the best,
“A friend is a single soul dwelling in two bodies."

One way to define a friend is someone who makes you feel your feelings when you're around them. Someone who affects you that way makes you feel better, accompanied and like someone knows you're alive and cares about you. I spose people who feel that way also would help each other out physically like help them move or paint or take on some big inconvenience for them, but I think the essense of it is the emotional connection.

Good one. A friend is someone who counts your well-being as important to them. A friend is someone who supports you and encourages you and who will let you know when something about you is not just as it should be. A friend is someone who is there for you because they know you need them to be. A friend loves you even when you two disagree. A friend is trustworthy, loyal and reliable.
