View Full Version : Are you a good friend?
Endure Whisper 27-04-08, 06:17 PM Couple of questions about friendships :)
~ Are you the kind of person who's very picky when it comes to friends? Do you choose your friends or do you become friends easily once you know they're the type of people you'd be honoured to be friends with?
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
UmKhalid 27-04-08, 06:28 PM 1. I'm friendly with everyone Al Hamdulillah, but I'm VERY picky about choosing my 'friends'. I believe that a person could be judged by his friends, so whenever I want to know how I am, I look at my friends. If they are good people, I thank God. If they're not, I know there's something wrong with me.
2. I would never want to know. If someone told me I'd be very mad at them for telling me.
3. If they all gang up on me, I'd be upset! It would take me time before I tell them they're right. But I WILL tell them they're right.
4. I think I'm a good friend. I hope.

I am not that person who keeps friends very very close, I can get along with people. But, they don't have to be my friends.
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?
For the way I deal with people around me, lets say my friends or the people I get along with, I don't think they will talk bad about me behind my back.
Anyways, I wouldn't really care!
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?
If they make sense, then yes I will admit it that they are right.
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
I can't say a good friend unless we become friends at the first place.

I am very picky when it comes to friends and who to walk with.. Usually it happens by luck, I never intentionally focus on someone to be a friend with .. and mostly I am a friend with a person who i have alot in common with and have same mentality. I don't really care about the status in this case as long as the person is classy and respectful.
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?
Usually the friends i pick would tell me the bad things in my face, cuz i like to know wut they think is bad on me. but if they did behind my back, then i wouldn't really care cuz deep inside they would know that they are not trust worthy.
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?
If i was really wrong then i would change,, but if i think im right and they all think im wrong then i will still stick to wut i believe is right.
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
I am a good friend, and people should not hesitate being my friend if they share the same mentality and way of thinking i have.

It really depends on how I get along with them. I'm not that picky and at the same time I do choose who to be friends with. If our mentalities and background are the same, it makes it easier.
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?
Let them keep it to themselves. As 5alfanooh said..if they knew me enough or trusted me enough they should tell me my negatives straight to me. My friends who I hang out with have been with me ever since we were kids, If I did something they do not like they would tell me straight away. Even if they do something I do not approve of, they know that they can never influence me to do it.
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?
I'm stubborn and I never admit being wrong.
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
I consider myself a good friend, I don't know how relevant this might be to the thread, but I've had loads of friends who were just there for something they wanted from me (used me). But I just ignore it and move on and never learn from my mistake :p
Superbia 27-04-08, 07:58 PM *The word "friendship" doesn't exist in my dictionary, I'd rather label them as "people I hang out with" mostly to kill time, or boredom.
*As for wanting to know if someone talked about me, I just find out.. It's like every time someone talks about me God makes me know about it! Recently a person I hang out with gave me her Facebook password to go and delete some of her pix, anyways I had the curiosity to check her inbox, and since "friendship" doesn't exist in my dictionary, I don't have to be loyal :p So I opened one of her messages and saw how she was bad-mouthing me, whereas online or in real life she keeps telling me that she loves me and I'm considered more than a sister to her. Uh, people.. This is why I never believe in friendship. Everyone is a backstabber.
*It's in me to be stubborn, it's either my way or the highway! If you don't like it, feel free to flee from my life.
*A good friend? I am, until I find out that you're a mask wearer.. And when that happens, I'm nastier than ever and extremely transparent.
^ Good to know :).
PS: If you don't believe in friendship, then you can't be a good friend.

I'm not the type of person who makes new friends easily, I tend to stick to the crowed. I don't think I'm that picky since I have friends with completely different personalities and mentalities.
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?
I think I would want to know, if she did talk badly about me then she isn't much of a friend is she? I think I should know who my real friends are. It happened to me before when this girl talked behind my back and it got to me, I did confront her and she denied it, we speak from time to time but that's about it.
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?
I'm a stubborn person in general. I'll stick to my point and might think about it later on and change my mind. It never happened that I was wrong about something and everyone else was right.
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
I think I am a good friend, and a loyal one too. I stick up for my friends even if they were wrong. However when it comes to new people I don't usually show them my full self until after a while. Like if I'm out with a friend and she bring her other friend along whom I don't know I'd be quiet and it would take me ages to adjust.

Do you choose your friends or do you become friends easily once you know they're the type of people you'd be honoured to be friends with?yes... I tend to be very picky with whom to consider a friend. I may socialize with others... but it takes a few aspects from a person to make me consider them friends.
~ Would you want to know if one of your friends ever talked about you in a way that you wouldn't like it behind your back or you'd rather not know?I'm indifferent in this...don't really care unless it was something really bad and insulting. Other than that, they're free to say I'm an insolent prudent lazy a** and it doesn't matter, cuz after all...they're friends with that lazy a**. :p
~ If all your friends tell you that you're wrong, when you're really and obviously wrong, do you think about it and try to change it or do you continue being stubborn for the sake of not listening to them?why should I insist on being right when I'm obviously wrong (and I know I'm wrong) ?...unless i wanted to annoy them. But mere stubbornness on serious issues would be silly.
~ Do you consider yourself a good friend or do you think of yourself as a person who people should get to know first before they become friends with you?
I'm not sure I see the relation between being a good friend and being a hard friend to get.
