How do I know whether I have any true friends?
The way to know if you have true friends is simply by observing how they treat you in all situations and how understanding can they be and when everything goes wrong or you end up in the worst of the situations where no one stands up for you and keeps your respect up and that friend does, you know you have a true friend.For me so far I find that having like two or three close friends works well with one guy friend being close as a bestie and a girl friend being close as another one too, both are needed as some situations like emotional situations girls can understand you better whereas guys in other situations can understand you better so a trio works well.But you can also see who your true friends really are even if you aren't really close to them such as you meet them after a long time, they treat you the same way and even with huge gaps between the meeting they still talk good about you stay loyal and entertain mutual respect at all times. Where as most of the people you meet may engage in backbiting, assume stuff about you, be non motivating and take indirect shots at you and be like it's just a joke man or even go personal in one of those oh don't take it seriously or no offense taunts. An actual friend knows his boundaries and knows how to treat his friend and the rest.So yeah keep distance from those ones and take your time finding your friends, you can find them in the randomest places but yeah you will be surprised with time how far you will have been close to them and many others leave.That's about it just observe and see who motivates and understands you, also who you can be around being yourself, being comfortable in your own skin being around them and you will know who your true friends are. This is just a general answer.
How do I test my friend to see if she is a true friend?
Dear 'Friend',Before getting to know who is your good and loyal friend let's see what really friendship is not and then what it really isWhat friendship is not?We say, ‘A friend in need is a friend indeed’, it means that friendship is a trade. ‘When I am in need, you help me and when you are in need, I help you, and then we are friends. Your views agree with mine, my views agree with you and we are friends. I need to copy assignments and you are always there, then we are friends. In all my rubbish, the one who can partner me, he is my friend.’In a lucky moment, aloneness happens to you and you are just sitting still with yourself, fully contented, not excited, not sad, but completely with yourself. You are sitting still, and the other fellow comes and says, ‘Hey, you are sitting quietly. Are you sad? Come, let’s go for a drink.’ And you call him your friend. You call him your ‘friend’.What friendship is?Friendship is nothing. Friendship is a state of being in which you are concerned not with what you can get from the other person, but in the real advancement of the other person. And the real advancement is, discovering the Truth. What really is.Test of a good and loyal friend: So a friend is a friend only if he brings you closer to the truth; in whose presence you become less agitated, in whose presence a silence comes. Not the one who keeps gossiping with you.Find out such friends, and then there will be real magic. But you cannot find them if you keep yourself occupied with friends of this kind. You will first have to create space. You will first have to throw the dirt away. You will first have to create a space in which that real friend can enter.If this answer made you a bit clearer and lighter, you may read more articles on various Life Education Fundamentals and Mystical Utterances of various saints and scriptures from all places and all ages on my blog "Words Into Silence".Just search for it on the web!UG
How do you know that you have found a true friend?
Read this;A cruise ship met with an incident at sea, on the ship was a pair of couple, after having made their way to the lifeboat, they realized that there was only space for one person left. At this moment, the man pushed the woman behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself.The lady stood on the sinking ship and shouted one sentence to her husband.The teacher stopped and asked, "What do you think she shouted?"Most of the students excitedly answered, "I hate you! I was blind!"Now, the teacher noticed a boy who was silent throughout, she got him to answer and he replied, "Teacher, I believe she would have shouted - Take care of our child!"The teacher was surprised, asking "Have you heard this story before?"The boy shook his head, "Nope, but that was what my mum told my dad before she died to disease".The teacher lamented, "The answer is right".The cruise sunk, the man went home and brought up their daughter single-handedly.Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter found his diary while tidying his belongings.It turns out that when parents went onto the cruise ship, the mother was already diagnosed with a terminal illness. At the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival. He wrote in his diary, "How I wished to sink to the bottom of the ocean with you, but for the sake of our daughter, I can only let you lie forever below the sea alone".The story is finished, the class was silent. The teacher knows that the student has understood the moral of the story, that of the good and the evil in the world, there are many complications behind them which are hard to understand. Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.Those who like to pay the bill, does so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.Those who take the initiative at work, does so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.Those who apologizes first after a fight, does so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.Those who are willing to help you, does so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend.....edits: Thankyou folks for promoting it.Debayan ChakrabortyAbhishek BundelaSanket KhedekarDinesh RamKaran BansalUser-12626575727167174152Rupal Dasguptaand many more
How do I come to know who is my true friend or who is not?
Trust me on one thing "there is no answer to this question".you may not like this but here are few reasons why ..most of the answers here suggest u to go for a reality check with the person u think is your best friend , it may work for time being but not for long run.its not a one time check but a long time experience.you cannot force your friendship on anyone.Here are few suggestions (not answer)Help others but Expect less from others.don't let yourself too open for others. don't do unnecessary things to seek attentions from others . Try to learn to live alone for some time and at that time do something constructive (read books , blogs ; watch movies).you should try to participate in various stage events , that will help you with your "introversion".always try to remove any misunderstanding (if arises) with your friend.Last but not the least Just Be Yourself

Someone who, despite all the changes a person goes through in their life, will stick by you and always accept you for who you are.A person who will always tell you what you NEED to hear, even if its not necessarily what you WANT to hear. A person who can make you laugh even on your bad days, and who makes all the problems in life seem easy to overcome, as long as you have them by your side.A best friend can be many things, your inspiration, your hero; best friends help each other to become better people by using honest, constructive criticism that sometimes hurts to hear, but is all for the best in the end.Bestfriends are the ones that bring up touchy topics with you, even if it will risk you being angry w/ them because they care more about your well being. Your best friend is the one who you could piss off so badly, but in your time of need they'll will still be there for you.A best friend is someone who you have shared good AND bad memories with, but you just can't help but cherish each of them; a TRUE best friend is hard to come by, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
