Friendship,is a situation when two or more people come together to share some certain likes, dislikes, having interest in themselves and do things to favor each other.Away from this friendship can not be meaningful.If I have a friend, how do I know if he or she is a real friend. knowingly, friendship is all about sharing, one of the ways I would know is the ability to share. share ideas,visions and challenges.If this person can share with me on what he feels and sees some aspects of life without hiding some things from me, it will give some reasons to trust him.what if I have a problem and let him know, how he responds will still help me know if he's a real friend. Though, mistakes are bound to happen, a real friend is one who does not blame, criticize to destroy another even when his friend is the reason for their predicaments.Rather he encourages his friend when things are not right and helps him get to his feet, and thinking the right thoughts.

friendship is found on the basis of trust, can the yes of this my friend be his yes despite what happens.someone that can not be relied upon its not to suppose to be a friend because a day will come when he will give me wrong information that may land me into problems and then my trust on him will amount to nothing.If my friend can do something and tell me the way and the very reason he did it then he can be trusted.Also, my friend can be my business partner, if I am not around or maybe he went to a business trip, the way he coordinates the issues of the business in the interest of our business without being selfish can help me determine if he's a good or not.
I will also consider how my friend respects my personal interest, rights, and appreciate my beliefs(self,ethnic,religious,etc),background.Does he enjoy provoking me; what can my friend do at my absence. what are his personal characters. in this regard, there are two friends that I know, at the start both of them were doing fine and until the one that was more successful was defrauded and he later was finding it difficult to feed and it was this his friend that was helping him to cope, on this basis this friend of his is a friend in deed. A friend that is not after what he can get from me rather what he can offer is a real friend;a real friend should know and be interested much in what turns me on. know my interest, love my personality and tries to cope with my weak areas.He is supposed to be involved in helping me develop my person.In the same vein I owe him all of these duties to make sure we make the best out of our relationship. A real friend is a source of encouragement, power, inspiration and challenge and motivation to his friend.
Finally, a real friend stands by his friend at all times both happy and stormy seasons, and many qualities can be used to screen a real friend from an unreal friend:he is understandable, reasonable,responsible, caring,teachable, receive advice,not conservative,unselfish and above all lovable and kind.
