I'm just wondering how everyone chooses their friends?.....

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends.... Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.... That doesn't mean you have to be exactly like each other, just that you enjoy some of the same things....You're bound to find at least one person who's excited about the same things that excite and interest you....


I like to be friends with people who has a good heart, friendly, honest, caring and helping others in needed, also trust must be a factor for me otherwise it's hard to be able to remain friends when there's no trust involved....


Let's discuss this topic here, what kind friends will you chooses?...
 
Very Impressive excellence thread...

Yes, I've been choosing who being honestly, caring, understanding open mind, straightforward and juicy talk as such funny common sense and more closer friendship importance for me become adapt.

I do not choosing for being hycopriting, lying teeth, betrayed, dishonest, 2faces, using people, all think their own way... can be cause hurting them more...
I'm not allow you treat me or them horrible...

IF you choose bad ways. Extreme dangerous break my heart goes to bleed.... That what I dislike to being like this...

Includes...Internet-friend or Real Life are both same!
 
Good thread, ^Angel^

I am very picky when it comes to making friends.
I tend to be friends with those who
have a great sense of humor,
have a pleasant personality,
is easy to talk with,
is always there for me,
is a good listener,
is very caring,
who can make me laugh,
and accept for who I am.
 
I choose friends that are willing to put time and energy into
our friendship. So many times, you meet someone and just
"fall out" of a friendship. I have close friends, now that I rarely
see. It makes me so sad.

I don't like people who are cocky, arrogant, and are users. Lying, and
not respectful doesn't go too far with me either.

I think we all look for friendships that validate us, helps us to grow, and being able to have security that they will always be there.
 
I'm with ^Angel^ and GalaxyAngel, and ButterFlyGirl That's a friend I would choose too. ;)


I like sincere and intelligence friends with great personality, best interest at heart. Most of all I like friends who admit their wrong doing quickly and apologize. That's why I choose my friends carefully, I don't like pretending friends who try to be nice to you.
 
u mean best friend? who is understanding me not critize/backstabbing/negative, be there for/with me, show respect keeping promise in secrets

I used to like to have some new friends either on person and online not matter who they're but never trust telling everything til I found my best friend someday :dunno:
 
I'm easy to be friends with. However, I do pick my "good" friends carefully.

To me, it's a matter of how they earn my trust. I have no problem being friends with 10 people. However, if they want me to be their "good" friends... they have to earn it as I do with them.
 
Try This.....

:wave:

Considering wanting friends I read alot of your responses and alot are negative, trying to protect yourselves from being HURT, I agree....but friends do YOU ALOT GOOD if you consider the following proverb:

"AS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO A FRIEND SHARPENS THE COUNTENANCE OF HIS FRIEND"

It is easy to pick your friends as a wise man said " A person should choose his friends CAREFULLY, for the way of the wicked leads him astray"

You should know immediately if a person is worth being friends with if all their talk is about THEMSELVES and don't give you a chance to express yourself. Learn to say NO. Many of you are afraid of saying NO because you don't want to hurt the other person's feelings, well they are aware of that and if you hurt someone's feelings, you loose nothing.
 
:) People I like to be friends with are the people that are honest, trustworthy, funloving, very understanding, good listener, supportive.

Here's a good example. It will be 3 years ago June 2nd, my Aunt on my father's side, passed away. The day of the funeral, my sister and I were listening to one of our cousins and one of her friend's talking to each other.
My cousin said to her friend, "I lost the best cousin", and her friend said, "I lost my best friend." Now, this may seem like something any friend would say. But, both these women, had been friends to my Aunt for 70 years. Now, that is FRIENDSHIP!!!! :aw:
 
Well i'm very lean back, not like to jump into conclusion or problems, unless it related somthing that do really got me, i would. I'm kinda of easygoing with other people. But i'm very very picky over friends that i would like to hang with. I'm more interesting in...

Humors
Trust
Respectful
understanding
Fun to be with
Good listener
Not into problems (like jump into)
Postives

I don't need to have many friends. As long i have some great friends. Of course, i do socialize all over the places, but i'm not hang w/ them, just greeting at them and have a good time myself. No negatives.
 
i see many of u like humor, what if person has no humor but nice person and is looking for a friend :(
 
I try to be friendly with just about everyone I meet, and if they are friendly back, well, I call them "friend" - but my most enduring, long-time friends are:

sincere
loyal
kind
generous
good sense of humor
not overtly racist, sexist, etc.
fun loving
spontaneous
and most of all, they are deeply enthusiatic people - not always about stuff I am personally into, but I appreciate people who have something they are really passionate about

I have found that if I don't set expectations too high on friends, I am rarely disappointed. I don't expect them to keep secrets, or tell them anything I couldn't stand to have repeated. I don't loan money unless I can afford to give it away.

There are truly only two people I absolutley HAVE to be able to trust - my Mom and my Husband.

A lot is made of trustworthiness of friends - I just find if I don't give my friends something to betray me over, well, I don't get betrayed.

Took a lot of pain to learn that lesson.

I don't mind that person has no humor and being nice. As long conversation keep interesting to keep friendship going.
 
Someone who understands me
Someone who gives me space
Someone who respects me for who I am
Someone who doesn't under estimate my intelligence
Someone who I won't feel intimidated
Someone who doesn't compete with me
Someone who knows how to have fun
Someone who actually have PMS and show it! :D

:applause: I am all the above :D
 
I am all of the above, too, except for the last one; however, I understand it and make allowances for it, just like in "giving space" above for this one. :D
 
Well said here... I agree with what those say about friends... I do have different circles of friends, but I am not cliquely kind of person.... Most of time I hang out are with my sister, and my dad/bestfriend..... When I am on Senate trip to monthly meetings, I hang out with those people. I have dropped friends who lie, use drugs, and getting drunk too much- not worth my time.
 
It doesn't matter, as long as they don't beg me for money or do deceitful things to me.

I have to admit last 1999 I borrowed or loan from my best friend since my 3 grade and her 9 or 10 grade :) in my home country, Ukraine, some money I havent had a job that time I needed to get to Embassy of USA in other country for a visa she was willing to help me and I paid her back what best friend for BE THERE and TRUSTWORTH. Now she is in France and me in USA we do miss dearly havent seen for 7 yrs this April :(

here some new person if asked me ,ofc, I wouldn't loan either, and different cultures there's money tree and other they may loan, but if my best friend is here (i really wish!) I would do to her :)
 
I would like to having friends who are good listener, very understandable, accept who I am, can make me laugh/smile, have a great sense of humor, is easy to chatting with, always there for me when I need them to, is very caring, have great personality, is supportive, is loyal, will be there to cheer me up.

I do agree with all of you! :grouphug:
