Do you consider yourself a good friend?

[Desconhecida]

We always demand loyalty and honesty from our friends.
But are you demanding something you don't offer?

[Rexnine9]

I am only demanding in two ways. And that may be two ways too many for anyone who has no sense of responsibility or accountability.

What I know I am: 1. Open-minded.
2. Loyal.
And I am afraid I should add Demanding.

So here's my problem: Most people don't know anything about what is required of them to be Loyal or Open-minded. Most people have an extremely false sense of their personality attributes and weaknesses. (Traits) I have found it truly hard to find people that ever demonstrate Loyalty or Openmindedness.

There are even traits that seem to be either an attribute or a weakness depending on who's asking and when.

For instance: Ambitiousness and Ridgedness. To me If you're overly ambitious; you could be a total whore willing to sell-out not only your friends, but yourself in order to have more money, prestige, or power. If you ever refuse to understand and infact use opinions, values and ideas different than your own; then, my friend, don't EVER call yourself open-minded!

"Demanding" can, when thought of like "uncompromising" as a positive; could just be the turd "Rigid" polished-up to look good.

So I'm only demanding when it would come down to sighning-off on things that violate my ability to respect myself for allowing. Here I am referring to "Integrity".

There's a great many people that see Loyalty, and Honest as w weakness. And if you're smart you will know who those people are! Because if you have people in your life that look at those traits as a vulnerability they will fuck you over everytime!

I do not "demand loyalty and honesty" from my friends. I have friends who by virtue of their character possess certain traits that I value. However, I never make demands of these traits. Frankly, our friends and loved ones are often a reflexion of ourselves. A mirror of the individual 'we' are.

[BuchitaBuchys]

No. I'm really bad at keeping up with people. I follow the "no news is good news" rule and I don't really talk to others for months. Like I'll check up on them every so often, but not as much as they'd like.
I'll be there if they need me, but I'm not really a "let's hang out regularly" type of friend. If you get what I mean.

[PcSucks]

I will tell you I ways always very goodhearted and people just take advantage and it is sad because now I am way less goodhearted and not a great friend anymore

[alexe56]

Sometimes I don't consider myself a good friend. In some ways, I become attached too easily, and despite doing good things for my friends, I don't always respect their wishes and it starts to create tension. I'm working on this though

[SjE78]

i always consider myself to be yeah, as always there for my friends, always give as i expect from them, honesty, loyalty and I always make sure that any issue they are going through I'm there for each of them

[Jjpayne]

I would hope so... but I am not perfect and I don't think anybody is but I would hope that I try to balance my needs out with theirs and make sure to be healthy but consider about my needs and their own.

[kbharadwaj3125]

We can be loyal but honesty some times no. Coz you may want to hear only the thing you want. Choose carefully about that honesty thing.

[Rangers]

I don't know, I don't have friends. But when push comes to shove and I have to choose between myself and a friend, I'm done choosing "friends" all people do is take advantage.

[Bluemax]

No, I don't consider myself a good friend. However, my friends vehemently disagree with me!

;)

[midnightmoon05]

[Wallflower101]

Depends on the person. I can be and sometimes I won't be.

[lauren_12346]

[AlexEfron]

I do. Mostly because I don't want anything in return
