That sounds absolutely exhausting to me.  My husband is much like you, however; I let him be social for the both of us!


Wow, I don't know how you can stomach being in a relationship - I can't stay in the company of people for more than a few days at most before I start getting irritable and itching for solitude, nevermind being in a full-blown relationship with someone.


I've been married close to 20 years, and have four children to boot.  The thing is, he gives me the space I need.  I honestly never expected to get married when I was younger; it works, though.


Well,. things hapen when we expect them the least. :) and I am sure your husband is your best friend as well. :)

Friendship means to me, that someone should be there for the other one, when the one is in sorrow. And never force them to side, because someone doesnt like the other friends of that person. Just being able to talk and accept other things too, appreciate their help and being grateful to have them around.

"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends".

If a person does not fit that definition then I prefer to use the term 'acquaintance' as I am not intimate with that person, even though I may find them more amiable and affable to me, more so than others, that I like to associate with them and prefer them enough to add them to my 'social list'.

To me, the saying that "a true friend is a rare indeed" is simply and actually...a friend is rare indeed.


Well said.  You spoke my thoughts almost exactly here.  Most people generally fall into the "acquaintance" crowd with few people ever passing into that "friend" zone.  However, I think for someone to truly be a friend, that person must also hold you in the same regards that you hold them.  If the relationship is a completely one way relationship, it is not worthy of being called a friendship and the person who considers the other a friend is simply a fool.  .

It just hit me, I don't think I actually have any friends.

I'm more of a casual acquaintance. Sooner or later I rub everyone the wrong way or they start to downright ****** me off.

Nice words. I agree with both of you. :)

If the relationship is a completely one way relationship, it is not worthy of being called a friendship and the person who considers the other a friend is simply a fool.

I found that out all too often in my younger years. Make sure to read the signs - if the friendship isn't mutual, it's probably a good time to look elsewhere for a comrade.

Friendship means different things to different people. I have lots of friends, which is weird because I have a very blunt personality and I know it annoys some friends, but they put up with it--some even prefer it since they know I won’t lie or sugar coat anything for them. I would do anything humanly possible to help them and to be there for them.


Though I have many friends, there are four people in my life that transcends friendship. I don’t know how to explain what they are to me except to say I wouldn’t want to live in a world where they didn’t exist.

a true friend would not lie to the other persons face after beinf court out in the act, a true friend stays by your side from dawn until dusk a true freind loves you no matter wht background you come from

A true friend never betrays your trust

Hmm....following are the qualities of any person that can be recognized as a true friend ( for me ):
1. He should be friendly and supportive
2. He should be honest and shouldn't back bite wid other persons about you
3. He should never betray you
4. He should try to help u in difficult times
5. He should have specific friends.

Or if your friends help you move not once but twice in the span of 6 months then you know you have some good friends. :D
