What's the difference between a friend, a true friend and a best friend?

The word "friend" can have several meanings. To some, a friend can have reference to a person you are seeing on a regular basis, like a boyfriend or girlfriend. Friend can also mean an aquaintance, or someone you work with or spend time with.

A friend can be a neighbor or even a relative.

A true friend, might be someone you can depend on for help or emergencies, someone you can really trust. It can also be a person that you feel close to.

A best friend may be a person that you tell your deepest secrets and thoughts to. You may not see them for years, but time doesn't change the relationship, the love you have for one another. You value your best friends opinion.

A best friend is like part of your family and sometimes even closer than your family. They are a part of you.

The stages of friendship are different for everyone. You must be a true friend first to have a true friend.

A best friend, or true friend is someone who knows your faults and loves you anyway.

When you badly need money and if you are not sure whether you can get a loan from that person, he is a friend.

If the friend willingly loans you that money, he is a true friend.

If the friend forgets to ask that money back from you, he is the best friend!

Easy - A true friend shows up to help you move.

Next time you are sick you can tell the difference.

A friend is someone who you tell about it weeks later.

A best friend calls to talk and finds out about it.

A true friend doesn't need to be told because they are already in the kitchen making soup because they were there when you started getting sick!

A Friend is someone you know well enough to talk with should you meet up somewhere unexpected or offer you a ride as long as it isn't out of there way. Share a meal with, let you borrow there tools, drive you to the airport if you asked, as long as it's a reasonable hour. They will judge you.

A best friend is one you can call and talk to about most topics, they will offer to drive you most places, they would think to invite you over for a meal just because, they would offer to help you repair what ever you needed to borrow the tools for, they would offer to pick you up at the airport because they want to make sure you were not put out trying to find a ride home and they would answer your call for help so long as it isn't 4 a.m. On a Sunday/Monday morning. They will judge you also.

A true friend is unique, if you have one count yourself lucky- after 20 years of having kids, growing your family, a divorce, a drug habit, or one of life's problems you call them up and ask for a huge favor and they drop what ever they are doing no matter the hour to help. Both of you pick up where you left off as if only a single day has past. They are the people that at your funeral cry because you are gone, at your birthday parties they are the ones that stay after everyone else is gone to clean up because it's your birthday and you shouldn't have to clean up, they are the ones that know when you are having a tough go of things to just stop by with a meal or a drink or just a smile to see that you are okay.It would never occur to them to judge anything you do.

So in my opinion you have your order of friends a little off, because I count a true friend as among the one thing in life we should treasure more than anything other than GOD.

A person who loves you unconditionally and without any personal gain who always belief on giving love is a best friend. If he cares for you then he is a friend. If he take your time and enjoy with you is a true friend.

A friend is a best friend if he can understand you.

When it comes to friendship, I think there should be no "differences". Being a friend is being a friend. The words "true" and "best" are just adjectives for the word friend.

The stages of a friendship vary between gender. In my experience, it seems that high school aged friendships between girls can be very flighty - meaning one day you're in, the next day you're out.

Guy friendships seem to have more of a 'brotherhood' quality to them and often with only one or two 'best friends'. The issue here is trust, common interests, popularity and fitting in with those that are considered 'in'.

The longest friendship I've had started when I was in second grade and continued through a move to a different town for two years and back again. We picked up right where we left off. In total, we were friends for almost 35 years.

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances the relationship eneded when my friend moved away with her family.

Without friends the world would truly be a lonely place. We need to have the courage to seek out new ones when we have the opportunity. And, that's more frequent than we might think!

A true friend to me is always there and never changes no matter even when your human, a best friend even when you are wrong or right is still a friend, a friend is just a casual acquaintenance that might think about you or not. In my eyes a true friend is stable , supportive and see you mostly as the air water and the wind to you at heart like the other you. A best friend is like when your up the first thought is you.

A best friend will support you but I got things to do, a friend catch when can but still think of you.

A friend is someone who you shot the breeze with and go out on the town and have fun. A Best Friend is someone who you tell your secret and talk about boys and dating. However a true friend is when each other can tell your secrets, about boys and have long conversations tell everything.

And especially know each other like you are family....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
