- claymore04 But should I listen and be available for you to come over, and yet still not care what you have to say or do, am I still a good friend?

claymore04 Nov 7th, 2009 For shallow friends and fair weather friends, I'd say placation. For true friends, I'd say they'd lay down everything that is important to themselves to free you from your own troubles.

pandora Nov 13th, 2009 I'd say, to find out what is it your friend expects from a friend and figuring out if meets your definition of a friend. If not move on.
People each have different ideas of what they require in a friend.
I like someone who is respectful and honest and who knows the difference between listening when I need to vent and when I am asking for advice.
And someone who understands that my family comes first in my life and then my friends.

Stranger in a Strange Land Nov 13th, 2009 Better not to have them. It makes it easier to stay away from abuse and rejection. One can easily lead a productive life without false or two-faced "freindships" rejecting you and spreading slander. +2
