If you don’t have ‘true’ friends,
you have ‘false’ friends…
not friends at all.
We need friends to comfort us when we are upset, friends are the people who you can take to about our problems, they are there when we are in trouble. They are good company. We can learn from them and discover how their opinion and make us more aware about what interests us. They are the important part of our life. As we are all busy in present time, we need something to hold on to, in order for not to slip and fall.
Most of us belong to a family, but friendship is very different from family bonding. There are quite a few silent features of friendship that make them what they are and so very indispensable to our existence!
So we can say we need friends because:
- Comfort Zone: A true friend knows everything about you. So, you never need anything to hide or lie in front of him. So it is the most comfortable zone in your life.
- Honest Talking: Real friends always talk honestly. The never flirt with you or never talk behind you. Never sugar-coat the original thing. actually, they are the mirror that will never let you go the wrong way in your life.
- Confidence Booster: Good friends always point out your flaws but they will encourage you to take the leap of faith.
- Reservoir Of Secrets: Sometimes we share such things of our life to our friends which we couldn’t with our parents or relatives. Our friends are the great reservoir of our secrets. We feel free to share all with them.
- You Are Not Alone: Loneliness is painful, when you are living with loneliness for a long time. If you have friends, you will never suffer from loneliness.
- They Listen: You may get very few persons in your life who listen you heartily. Your friends listen you without judgement, without negativity as they care of you.
- Always There: Whenever you want, you cant talk to them, see them. They are always with you.
- They Fight For You: If you are in troublesome or unwanted situation, they are most protective after your parents and relatives. They fight for you.
- They Can Mold Your Character: I knew a bad boy, who changed totally with the influence of his good friends… developed in education and moral character also.
- They Love You Regardless: Our parents love us because they have to, our relatives love us because of blood relation but only friends love us for no reason.
How could we know that our friends are ‘real’?
- True friends offer supportive comments and encouragements. If your friends always dismisses or one-ups your success, puts you down or don’t believe you can be succeed, then they are not your’s. Kick them out!
- If you feel like you are always the one listening to your friends, then you are not getting your fair share of the friendship. when you see, every time you talk to your friend, is looking here and there or checking phone or doing other, probably your friend is fake!
- If you feel the need to hide things from your friends, it seems you can’t trust your friends. In that case, probably you are not with your real friends.
- If you see that your friend starts juicy gossip about someone who just left the room, then your friend is a terrible person indeed! Stay away from him.
- If your friends have no time to spend with you, always saying that they are very busy, then be sure they are not your friends.
- When you see your friends always come to you for favor and support but get busy when you need them, then they are not your friends but opportunist!
- If your friend can’t keep secret, he is out!
There may be some more ways to find true friends in life. People of different ages may interact with their friends in different ways, but I think as we get older we will find that friends can open up our worldview.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Goes the saying. But as how dynamic the world is similarly is the different kind of people who are there in this world. So is the case with friends. As they are nothing but a part of the society which they reflect us. I do not have many friends since childhood. But does not mean that I did not have good classmates in the school and the college and others who were my neighbors with whom I used to play or the others where I used to play. The majority of the people were understanding which is a rarity which I find nowadays. These days things have become too complex so have friendships. But the surprising thing is I have many online friends.
I would only say friendships should be respected at whatever level they may be and they should not be overbearing on each other . They should also appreciate others weaknesses and faults. There should always be give and take in their relationship. There should also be growth on a steady scale in the relationship. Friendship cannot be measured. They have to be treated as all fingers in our hand. Some of my best friends were my pets, books, comics, sports, movies and of course writing. A very important relationship which seems to have its value in the present day and age. Even if we have one good friend it makes a world a better place for us. Thanks for the share.
Friends are very important in life. They make life easy, happy.
They help us when we are in trouble. At the time of need only friends come to help us.
They are honest & amazing persons.
friends are important, but can you live without friend, sure you are going to be able to, and you may build your life with that thing in not your life, but if you ccan have friend then wheres the problem of having few? friends do add nice taste to life, they sometimes are more supportive than family, they sometimes make you family the choose family not biology one, so these are only few things from really lots of things that friends are able to add if they are in your life so if you are able to find one that you relate too, that is honest and real not fake then sure its good addition to your life as you will be to his or her life. other wise no need for friend is they are going to hurt and make life worse or if they are going to abuse you and get advantage of you without paying back the favors, then life without them better
I had so many friends.But I trusted my virtual friends more than them.I agree that friends are the support system.Trusted friends can always be there.It is rare for us to find trusted friends.If ever we found them, we need to keep them in our lives.Thus, we need to have friends.
friends are so important..
friends are support and compassion.
