Friends… This is a word where it is most commonly heard of. But what are friends actually? How do you define a friend? Is a friend a person who treats you good? Is a friend a person who knows you for quite sometime? Do you consider a person a friend just because if he/she talks to you?

Yes indeed the word “friend” is very hard to be defined. It is just too subjective. As for me, a “friend” is a combination of two or more elements from the above.

Basically there are a few types of friends. There are :

Parasitic friend : Where a “so-called” person who always know how to parasite or take from you and never give back.

Hi-Bye friend : A person who just acknowledge one another through nodding their heads or by just saying “hi-bye”

Mutual friend : A person who mutually benefits from each other. Such as he/she takes something from you and on the other hand, you can also benefit from him/her in other ways.

Fresh friend : A person who you just knew and you are still trying to understand his/her personality.

Just friend : A person who is just considered as ordinary friend. Sometimes when he/she feels like helping you, he/she will. If he/she is not in a mood to do so, he/she won’t. Sometimes when he/she needs you, only he/she will come to you. At other times, you won't feel his/her existence.

Last but not least are people who will always be at your side. Trying to listen to your thoughts and trying to help you to do a favor without thinking. A person whom you know long enough and understand his character well enough to reach this stage. That is what I called as true friends!!

So how true do you think what I’d said above? =P
