Friends

Post Reply New Topic

I was wondering how you all classify what a friend is. To me a friend is someone I can truely say anything to and feel comfortable saying it. Most people in my life are just to me associates and that's all I seem them as, people I don't mind associating myself with. In the entirety of my relatively short life I've only had three people I'd consider a friend of me and the newest one seems to have moved on. He's the only person not in my family, educators, and psych to have been told by me that I have Asperger's and only has further progressed by already bleak outlook on life. How do you all feel when a seemingly mutual close friendship ends?

I feel declared when a close friendship ends, especially when there is no explanation. I'm sorry your friendship ended.

My definition of a friend is someone I like spending time with, someone I respect and admire, someone who I can rely on for help, and someone who I trust has my best interests at heart. Friendships are also mutual, with both people giving to the relationship. A friend is also someone who I can be myself around and be accepted and understood despite my shortcomings.
