I'm very curious about your revolutionary definition for friend, because I have yet to come up with one for myself. For me it's one of those things where, you know it when you see it. A while back I started a thread about this very subject. This was the (loose) criteria I gave for a friend:

I think everyone's ideas of what a friend should be like are broad. For me a friend is someone who:

-shares common interests with you

-misses you when they don't hear from you regularly/ Someone who thinks about you when you aren't around

-worries about you

-applauds your successes and is supportive when you do not succeed

-sacrifices their time and money and sometimes sanity for you

-can tell you your faults calmly

-can hug you or tell you they luv ya, without it being too weird

(All of these are reciprocal. You feel these things for them and they feel them for you)

This list could go on and on right? To me though, a true sign of friendship is trust:

*When a person has confided in you (this shows that they trust you on some level) and you can confide in them and it remains between the two of you, that is a friend *

It seems like the other criteria I listed aren't as necessary as this one. You have to proof you are trustworthy.

For the most part I still agree with what I wrote a year ago. Trust is key. I'd also like to add that a true friend will come to you when there are problems in the relationship. They'll want to fix things instead of simply throwing everything away. Unless of course whatever you did was something totally obviously unforgivable, like sleeping with their wife .

I agree, LostReality has stepped up with some rather good posts.

The author is very important for me.

If so, whose name do you look for in the "Latest By" column that piques your interest in a thread that you would have otherwise avoided?

Yeah, that often draws me in as well. I often follow Stefanie around. She's usually up to no good and I like to help
