Do your friends define who you are?
Usually when you hang around people you subconsciously pick up there traits even if you are not really like that. If they cuss, you may find yourself starting to cuss, if they giggle a lot you may find that you giggle a lot around them and etc. Once you are aware of this you can stop it. I act like myself no matter what type of people I am around. I will not suppress my intelligence, I will not start acting "dumb blondish" or anything even if I am hanging with people who are like that. So to answer your question yes and no, if you let them define/change you then yes but if you remain solid in who you are then no.
Define a best friend?
Someone who is hard to forget, find, and letting go. A person that is always there for you no matter what, who will listen and help you at any cost. someone who will always be there for you... who wont judge you, and will accept you for who you are. You can share secrets with them and know that the world won't know the next day. You can cry on their shoulder and know that they care. Someone who you can depend on and trust completely. A person you love, and that means a lot to you. These people are hard to find. But they are so good when you have one :)
What defines a friend?
So I read a few answers to this question, people mentioning some points and giving some definitions to this answer.For me friend is someone with whom you just need to be yourself. You don’t even think before saying anything to them. You text them whole day long , share even the lamest thing you are thinking at the moment.From sharing your crushes to sharing sharing your lamest jokes .At times they can even recognize just from your voice over the phone call that you want to tell something to them but you are not.There comes a point where you need not even speak, they themselves know what you are thinking or what you may think next. There comes a point a point in friendship wherein the word telepathy you start believing in.So I would like to share about such a friend I have(KAPIL VERMA). The weirdest,the mechanical wala dost and off course I don’t have adjectives for him.I met this friend of mine in college library.I remember it was second semester and we both were returning books there, and were introduced by a common friend of ours. We still don’t remember how we started talking to each other, and today have crossed a high level of friendship.We just share everything whole day long.From teasing each other to fighting on the silliest topic ever possible, from sharing food pictures etc. I must say he have guts to bear a talkative person like me. I know I irritate him a lot but what are friends for after all.I’ll attach some screenshots from our chat:This is what happens when I irritate him by sending him K drama star cast pictures.This is how we keep insulting and teasing each other. :PThe best part is when when you have some many friends and you are writing answer on a particular one I asked him “what should I do man ? Otherwise other friends bura maan jayege”.Hehehe One gets this best one liner reply.One needs no definition for a friend.Its just simply how well you pull of with each other and keep irritating each other to the fullest.Stop looking for definition of a friend, find one if you don’t have and if you have keep them safe and keep collecting memories with them.
Can you define a friend?
An ideal friend cares about you and Real friendship cares.With time we realize who our real friends are. Not everyone stays with you forever and at your worst times. Only real friends do. Others are mere acquaintances. They are curious about your life but don't care as much. Not everyone you think as a friend is a real friend that cares about you . Same is true with you as well. You don't care about everyone you are friends with. Only true friends stay and time makes that distinguishing factor. Real friends stay with time. They evolve but they don't change.True friends will be there for you even during your darkest times. Other friends and acquaintances move on.True friends never judge you. They know who you really are. For them, both your character and their perception are one and the same.True friends never leave you even during your tough times. They are they for you when you need them the most.True friends give their shoulder for you to cry when you are sad.True friends want to see you happy and happy with themTrue friends remain true friends. They treat you the same irrespective of what they get in return.

How do you define 'friend', or what do you look for in friends? How do you know if someone's a "friend" or just polite?
Friendships are a natural force with an ebb and flow which brings you close together to other people. To me, friendships just happen. They begin as a "thing", as in, this person is someone that I have a magnetic attraction to. Not necessarily sexual. Usually not. But an attraction to know him or her. We hang out once. We talk. We may not even like each other that much. (I've had good friends that I didn't like at first. They pursued me and I gave in and eventually began to love them.)Then, circumstances happen that we hang out again. And maybe again.Before long, we're in a "thing". We have something to talk about, something to share. A connection is made on some level.We find each other on Facebook. We enter each other in our Smart phones. Texting begins. More than that, we exchange conscious ideas and feelings along with our world views. We have something to talk about.I don't have a checklist of characteristics that have to be in place to be my friend. There are no conscious qualifications, really. We enter people's lives because there is something that needs to be known, something that needs to be experienced. You could say that it is even an impersonal force toward our own betterment. Friendships can also end because that initial pull is no longer there. Things become stale and old. There are no more reasons to hang out.Thus, friends are like waves in the ocean, I think. Pushing and pulling us toward light and depth and everything living and fresh. That's what it means to me to have friends. Some will quietly fade away in the water. Until then, they keep you engaged in life.
If you had to define your best friend in one word, what would that word be?
I would say ‘life’. That's what friends bring in our life also maximum learning of how to handle situations come from friends!! Kyu ki Kaminey kab konase situation me dalde you never know!!
What is your definition of a good friend?
It's very rare to find a good friend. The definition of a good friend is someone who you can trust by telling her about your secret but the secret is not leaking to the world. A good friend is someone not telling bad about you to someone else or don't tell you about someone else badly. A good friend is sharing the happiness also sadness with you and will be there with you as you need her/him. A good friend is your friend it doesn't matter you're rich or poor. But telling you the truth. It's difficult to find a good friend in the world. Give her/him the good friend test before telling your secret.
What is the definition of a "close" friend?
A close friend is a friend that you cant talk about anything with, and never worry that they will judge you. They will always be there for you, and you feel so comfortable at each other's houses that it is like they are a second home to you. A normal friend would just be someone that you go to the mall with, tak on the phone with, and hang out with at school or something. (at least this is how it is for me)
