Too many "friends" but how can you find the true friend - and be one?

in steemiteducation •  5 years ago 


When you check your social media handles, you will find that your "friends" are already many. And in real life, you also probably have more friends than one. But, many people today feel so lonely and ignored by so-called friends. Worst yet, some have had the ugly experience of being back-stabbed or betrayed by a supposedly trusted friend. Because of what they have passed through in the hands of "friends", some people are afraid of keeping company with others. Some prefer to stay alone and have no close relationships, but that is not the human nature. We crave for people to love and feel loved. Finding such people could be difficult.

This white board animation explains how to sort through the crowd and find real and true friends. It goes on to explain how we can be what we are looking for - true friend. When we make ourselves geniune and true individuals, it will be easier to attract the type of friends we yearn to have. Enjoy the presentation

I think it's always important to be the kind of friend that you want to be! You never know when someone might really need to share something or feel loved. You never where, or in who, you'll find a new best friend! Everyone's just trying their best, so we have to keep being genuine and open to all sorts of new friends. When dealing with these people, you just have to communicate, be open, and believe in yourself. If you believe that everyone deserves love and appreciation, then you'll sort through the kind of friends that you want pretty easily.

@focusnow, I am no one to define the meaning of Friendship but i want to say one thing and that is, a true friend always be there when we need them, may be others will be there when they need us. Stay blessed.

A lot of people make the mistake of making new friends when thing a going great for you, those are mostly fans. True friends are there with you when things are moving downwards for you. The help provide solutions and positive suggestions that will bring you back up. The mistake most people make when the succeed in life is they do away with their true friends that helped them up and then become friend with people that will only be around you when things are rosey. There is a song we used to sing when we were growing up and it goes like this. "Make new friends but keep the old ones, one is silver and the other is gold."

I have a big thing about people being genuine so if they are and I can trust they are my friends for life!! Interesting video thanks for letting me know

You can choose the right friends and get betrayed at a point. Decided to be a loner when my best friend chose a girl over me, a girl he didn't even date for 2 weeks.

With me, I go with the flow. My true friends are those I get to adapt with them naturally that's to say we are similar in our ways of doing things as well as behaviours.

Build the good moments: when everything is fine enjoy the time you have with your friends, share your hapiness with them.

Help in the bad moments: when thing go bad, be there for your friends. Help all you can.

A real friend is one that helps you out, knocks on your door in times of need.
Not the one that claims your time, money and energy every single minute of the day.
A real friend accepts your no and the way you are.

Real friends are rare.
Before you help out someone better ask yourself first what that person ever did for you and if he/she would do the same for you.

P.s. Real friends do not manipulate you not abuse you.
