im not sure.

well in my experince you have to test people and find out who your true friends are

I tend to have major trust issues and worries. So its hard for me to trust someone right off the bat. However, in time if they prove they think of others above themselves and put the needs of the weak ahead of themselves, then its a start. Even then I have trust issues. But that stems from many past issues with other people and what they need want out of life you know. If they intend to you use you or not. Its hard to tell. I just try to see beyond the first impression.

This may sound silly, and it doesn't always work, but I get feelings about people. There have been people that I have met that I feel like I could tell whatever I wanted after hardly knowing them, and then there are others that just don't really strike me as being people that could hold really anything that I have to say.

I think that the two qualities that I look for the most are honesty and compassion. You could also make a decision based on their reactions to different situations, but you really have to spend some time with them to get a feel for whether or not they are trustworthy.

The qualities I look for are compassion for others and love for others. Can they keep a secret and help me out when I need it. Are they a good listener? Some people just grow on me. I think these are the ones that I hold dearest to my heart. Usually I can tell the moment I meet someone if we will hit it off or not.

For many years I have chosen the wrong friends and deciding to only have good friends has left me with very few lol.
But I'd prefer to have a few good friends then lots of shit ones.
I jsut hope I'll meet some good people soon.

i tend to listen to my ppl sniffer. it is usually right and draws me to the ppl that are best for me most of the time.

Great post!!! Qualities I want in friendship; kindness, compassion, acceptance, honesty, trustworthiness. There are others, but those are the main ones.

For me, I can usually make the right decision with women. It's men that I never chose wisely. My therapist told me to go with my gut unless it's a man. For now, go against it.
