    i can be a good friend but not in the sense of keeping in contact with someone and calling them and so forth.. I dislike phones and sometimes just dont feel like hanging out with someone, but they cant understand that and think im horrible..
    but i have my moments of shame of not being a good friend, i think everyone has those moments though...

    sometimes i like calling and keepign in contact

    but i get weird
    and start avoiding people

    some people get it and understand that its just how i can be.

    it took me a while to realize how important a friendship is.

    I can be a really good friend in the sense that I always keep in contact, initiate activities, am always there for the person no matter what, etc... but I'm a really horrible friend in the sense that I demand complete trust and for them to be completely open with me, while I rarely trust anyone and never really open up much.

    i cant say that im good at keeping in touch with friends. im not a very big fan of the phone

    but in a close friendship, i am a very giving person. infact, its not rare for me to feel that im allowing them to take advantage of my kindness.

    I think I'm a good friend, if they're at least a decent friend to me. I suck at calling people, I always forget to call folks but if they ever need a shoulder to cry on I'm there, if they ever need to vent with someone or go out for coffee I'm there. But when friends dick me over, when it's more painful to deal with them than to not... that's when I stop being a good friend.

    I'm a great friend but I expect the same back. If someone is dishonest or flaky I dont value that friendship that much. That sounds mean, but I put forth a great effort towards people who take friendship seriously. I will be your best friend you ever had, but don't do me wrong or I won't go out of my way for you.

    i think i'm a good friend. keepign contact isn't a strong point for me. but i do give a lot to my friends, i'll always be there for them. i'll share whatever i got with my close friends. though i won't sit back and get run over and have people take advantage of me. i won't let that happen. you be there for me, i'll be there for you 100% no matter what. friendships mean a lot to me. my friends mean the world to me, so if you a close friend of mine, its special.

    I have just a small handful of people I'd really call friends. All the rest are just acquaintances. I'd say I'm a good friend as far as being trustworthy and concerned for my friends.

    Honestly, I think I am a good friend, and someone who you can count on, even tho some people tend to think that I'm "cruel" sometimes in harsh situations, but, what, if my best friend is feeling depressed over some stupid shit I'm not gonna be like "oh... you poor thing... I understand... boo hoo hoo", I shake people, I make em open their eyes. Is that cruel? Okay sometimes I'm very cynical too... But I think I am a good friend.
