"A friend is someone who will tell you that you have gunk in your teeth."
Are you the kind of friend you would want as a friend? If yes, how? If no, why not?
Be sure and read my Sunday post to guess the number of eggs that will hatch this week.
I am - I like to treat my friends with respect (the same way I like to be treated.)
ReplyDeleteI think I would like me in measured doses. I tend to talk a little too much, but just about the time you are sick of me I need a nap!
ReplyDeleteI think that could be a loaded question if you are like me...friendly but distant at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think I am, but I guess my friends would have to answer to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteLynn -- If only we all would practice respect for others.
ReplyDeleteTabor -- Who would ever be sick of you?
Changes in the wind -- Loaded question for sure. We all know your best friend is Cowboy.
Jeanie -- I vote yes indeed!
I do like being nice to others - it makes me feel good! sandie
ReplyDeleteYes I think so. I love to help people look more cheerful than they did when I first meet them.
ReplyDeleteI love to talk but also to listen.
I love to share experiences and laughter and food and wine.
Sometime tears.
Yes. I treat people fairly and do what I can to help those in need. I wish I knew more people like me ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda quiet. I need friends to take on the burden of conversation for me. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I sure hope so!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind comment on my blog. It meant a great deal to me.
ReplyDeleteNo, I'm not a great friend. I tend to neglect people. I'm probably quite selfish really.
Chatty Crone -- You do a great job of that.
ReplyDeletePat -- Food and wine with friends...what more can anyone ask?
cube -- You are a caring person and believe it or not, there are many like you:)
Kerry -- My best friend was like that. She enjoyed people as long as she didn't have to carry the conversation.
Riot Kitty -- Yes you are!
LL Cool Joe -- Glad to see you back and hope you realized from those who missed you that you are indeed a good friend and don't be so hard on yourself. We are all a little selfish. That is human nature. But at the same time you are a loving person with lots of thoughts of others.
I have never been one to use the word friend lightly. But, yes, I am a good friend and how do I measure that? By the awesome quality of friends I have in my life...I figure it's a definite case of like attracting like :)
ReplyDeleteI would like a friend who is like me because with me you know where you stand. I believe in giving TLC but sometimes I believe in tough love.
ReplyDeleteI am always there for my friends in terms of joy and sorrow. Always extending a helping hands so yes, I would want my friends to my be there for me too when I'm down :D
ReplyDeleteTalon -- Your qualities are awesome!
ReplyDeleteMunir -- You are so right about TLC as well as tough love being needed in friendship.
Shionge -- You are the type of friend we all need.
I'm still friends with most of them from decades ago, but just have no time on opposite schedules to visit. If I weren't working so much for so little, n it didn't get me so sore, n I didn't have so many allergies to things everyone else has around them, I'd be a better friend than I am now.
ReplyDeleteI always try to be kind n helpful, if sometimes a bit too honest about my feelings that folks don't want to hear, but listening is what friends are for.
I'd like to hang out with my double n sing some harmony more often.
I hope so. I do always try to help and be there if anyone needs me and even if they don't. :-)
ReplyDeleteSnaggle Tooth -- I try to avoid giving unwanted advice even though I know I AM RIGHT! lol
ReplyDeleteKay -- Well you sound just like my sister:)
