Dont worry weather you have a true friend or not. Just make sure your friends have a true friend.

In these hard economic times, people will learn that their "better than you" fancy veneer will have to come off. What really matters will be revealed, and it aint the things that many folks have been amassing in our generation. It will take a major attitude change. I see that happening lately, Chips on shoulders falling, snobbiness fading, where I'm at. I say, be open, be kind, be willing to mend fences so to speak.

The true friends are the ones that stick by your side, no matter. I have 2...

When things get hard, most people flake. I thought I had a really good friend, but they flaked when things got rought and screwed me in the process... Live and learn

Yeah , I went through that this year too. Notice I didn't say generous. I learned to be kind, but not generous with my money. Hopefully he/she learned a hard lesson in the end too. Keep taking taking from friends, expecting they will always carry the load for them, and eventually friends leave. There are people that have no integrity. Tough love happens eventually, and they're alone on the river without a paddle.

A true friend is someone who knows how you really are and likes you anyway...

Too have a friend you must be a friend and too be a friend you must be transparent.
give folks an honest look so that they can make an honest decision----you may be suprised, but, it certainly produces the best friends.
