This is self-evident.

As for mine, my friends are understanding, forgiving and resolute.

They have strong views about the world and they are forgive my eccentricities.

My best friend, Chris, known as Mass-Insanity on these forums, is like me in almost every aspect. We both think the same way, we both have AS, we both love technology and knowledge and science.
More than likely, we are thinking the same thing right now!
The only aspect that I see we are different in is the fact that I am Atheist and he is Christian

I don't realy have any friends now, but often it is that we are outcasts and at least don't think it is fun to go out and cause trouble.

Criteria for friendship to me:
- good sense of humor
- accepting of my OCD and AS and respecting the things I dislike because of it (eg hugs, being touched, ...)
- strong interest in good debates, preferably about travel, arts or politics, sports

All friends I have somewhat have those criteria in common.

My friends and I tend to share the same sorts of interests, and share the same sort of humour. Theres nothing better than cracking yourself up with obscure in-jokes that only a few people get :lol:

My husband and mother are my only friends. That seems to be all I need right now and I'm ok with that. :wink:

I have a few friends and thats all I really need. We share interests. One of them said to me that she's my friend because I'm odd and march to my own beat.

I have different kinda of friends for different things. Some to make me think. Some to make me feel. Some that will tolerate me. Some that are no to harsh on me for my quirks and oddities. Yes, they usually all like some of the same things I do, but other things are really nice.

I go from friend to friend throughout the year. I might see some of them only 2-6 times a year and I am content with that. It works.

I have a couple friends who are trustworthy, and respect my judgement. I am the guy they see when they seek wisdom, or my opinion on something.

My mom is my best friend because she understands me, looks out for my well-being, listens to whatever I have to say and gives excellent advice.

My brother is my friend because he is honest with me, makes me laugh, likes hearing about my special interests and is someone I can share secrets with.

The characters of Hellsing and Trinity Blood are my (imaginary) friends because they give me company when I'm lonely, they comfort me when I'm sad/scared, they never hurt my feelings and they'll only leave if I want them to (and even then it's never for very long).

Because I have no clue and no friends.
