How would you describe an ideal friendship?

Question

Cynicaldreamer · Accepted Answer

A person that checks in with me regularly- not just in person, but via text or calls occasionally to make sure I'm okay. And if we don't talk for a while, once we meet up again, it's like nothing changed. It feels like you never left.

They're trustworthy and reliable. All my life I've had "fairweather friends": you know the type: they're only available when it's convenient for them, yet when you need something, they're busy or no where to be found? Yeah, that type of "friend."

And most importantly, someone I can be myself around. You feel a sense of comfort talking to them or being your REAL, open self without fear of being judged- nowadays that is so rare to find friends like that.

Accepts you for who and what you are, flaws and all Respects your boundaries/views Forgives you for your little fights Supports you and encourages you  Will be cruel to be kind with limits  Will be mean to your face but fights your enemies and defends your honour behind your back  Will be there for you when you need them the most/even if you don’t Will cheer for your milestones and achievements no matter how small or big they are  Will pick you up when you’re down and will push you to the finish line no matter how bumpy the road is Will make fun of you in a good way  Will laugh with you and cry with you  Will be there when everyone else have turned their backs on you

There are many many different levels and types of friendships that can be so very beautiful a true friend you can love unconditionally when you call you're there for that person and vice versa it's almost like being in a relationship because there's a bond there a true friend you can say anything to and they understand what you're saying to them without b**** barking or biting and the true friend will accept the things you have to say and understand that nobody's trying to be right they're just say what they feel what they see

Can't top this:

“A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal, that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness with which one chemical atom meets another.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson , Essays: First Series

You are each independent, but you hang out. You're there for each other no matter what. You aren't invasive and respect each other's space and personal boundaries. You're like non-blood family. You support one another. You're also there to smack some sense into one another when needed.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one friend sharpens another.” A true friend not only encourages you to better yourself daily, he/she would be there for you through your worst and best.
A good friend doesn’t pull you down or try to “one-up” you, but rejoices in your success.
The best kind of friendship always makes you feel undeserving, so you know never to take it for granted.
