You do for them knowing they would not do for you, yet you are flattered that they call you friend. ??

It all depends on what your friend thinks a friend should be. I believe that my friends deserve my honesty and opinions, and that has caused me to lost many friends.

Interest mainly. People usually appreciate attention. Doesn't mean overboard attention, just letting them know you are there and you actually care.

That and not being competitive. No one likes feeling everything is a competition.

I fire people from being my friend if they don't find time for me for months on end. I don't like to pretend that a friendship is still alive when it's clearly dead as a doornail.

Golden rule- treat people the way you want to be treated and don't ask them to do anything for you that you wouldn't willing do for them.

I have several people who consider me their best friend... and at the same time those same people consistently leave me to clean up their messes or watch their back when I know damn well they wouldn't return the favor. It's flattering that they consider me their best friend, but the feeling isn't mutual.

I can count my true friends on one hand. everybody else is an acquaintance. I have lost "friends" because they thought I was not being a "friend" to them....we'll here's the deal: that door swings both ways.

neither I nor my friends 'work' at being friends, we just are. we accept each other for who we are....warts and all...and they are as bluntly honest and direct with me as I am with them....because we are friends.

Maybe that is why I do better here and on fb- I read it I know how people are doing and remember them. *sigh*

I can count my true friends in one hand. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of people that I am social with, but I know that I can't truly be myself or open up to them because of their hang ups.

My true friends are those that I can just vent with, be myself and listen to them when they need someone.
If you say that you loose more friends by being yourself are they true friends. They should accept you as you are.
