What's a sign of a really good/loyal friend?

Question

For example, calling them at 3am from jail, asking them to bail you out, and they get up and do it, no questions asked.

They show up for you. Doesn’t have to be extreme like bailing you out of jail or helping you bury a body. But they show up; they’re willing to make time in their life for you. In emergencies or just everyday things. My best friend is like my sister. She got a flat tire over the summer called me and I was there 10 minutes later with everything we needed. I ended up in the ditch during a bad snowstorm earlier in the month and she drove all the way to the town I was in to wait with me while the tow truck rescued my poor vehicle from the ditch. She showed up for me. Graduations. Minute little life events that seem insignificant if your friends show up to those to celebrate your accomplishments they’re your ride or dies. I’m incredibly lucky to have a strong support group that will show up for me no matter what, because I know not everyone has that.

If a person is faithful with the little things, they can be trusted with the big things.

A think a person who does stuff like this is just... there. They make effort to be a part of your life. They genuinely care about you as a person, not as a good time. They have a certain integrity about them that says, "This is my people, I have to be there for them" and they keep their word.

It's hard to pinpoint, hard to find, but I have friends like this, and I try to be a friend like this. They're just good people as a whole. Not in moments. But as people. There is something intrinsic about them.

An ex of mine came on to a good buddy of mine years ago and he turned her down, she messaged him and sent pics. He didn't say anything because he didn't know how to but I ex made up a load of crap about him coming on to her and groping her etc. I confronted my friend and he gave me his phone to look through, he was telling the truth. I went through her phone one night while she was sleeping and she was messaging a few other guys. Turned out she had a history of this sort of thing. I told my friend to not say anything about it all. I continued to see her until I was ready to walk away, she had a nice body and a nice fat ass.

Calling me to bail them out of jail would be a good sign to end the friendship. Lol

But friendship to me comes down to one thing. They show up! They are there in your darkest hour, your weakest point. I haven't even talked to my best friend for about a year. He's got his life to live and I've got mine. But when my father passed away he was there without being asked. All my friends were! In moments like those you learn who your real friends are. I'd walk a 100 miles for someone I call friend because I KNOW they'd do it for me. And that list of "friends" is understandably very short. Everyone else are acquaintances to me.

Whenever I am sad I vent to a friend. One time I was going through a really tough time and she just offered her place for me to stay for a while if I needed it. True friend right there!

I think a rarely-utilized way to figure out who your friends are, is by who calls you out on your crap. People who let you be who you are, but call you out when your actions hurt others or yourself.

Emiliamazing · Answer

A true friend will remain your friend, even if they don't agree with how you were living. They will be patient and attempt to help you achieve your goals, even if they don't share the same goals. Selflessness.

Androm · Answer

I think good day friends are important in this regard. Is he really happy in your best moment? Or is he wearing a fake smile? True friends are those who rejoice at your success as much as you do.

-they actually give a shit about you - they're there when your going through shit - they dont make you feel like shit, they dont judge you - they got your back - you can trust them

IceCreamSandwich · Answer

They don't try to peer pressure you. They respect you enough to take no for an answer sometimes.

Flipside, they're willing to do things they don't like. They value growing the relationship over being comfortable sometimes.

I actually did get a call from a friend who was in jail and I did get up and bail him out. I didn;t have enough money and had to wake my brother up and get some from him.

Dnice1 · Answer

Someone who is always for you and who has your back even through tough. Someone who listen to you vent and there to comfort you. That's a good friend.

I wouldn't bail any friend out, and I don't know what a picture of a redhead and a black bass has to do with it.

KandiSwallows · Answer

Will do what they're asked of without question or hesitation to sacrifice themselves for me, even in the face of death. In other words, would choose me over God. 💯
