Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Someone who knows you well enough to know when something isn't "right" with you.

They accept you for who you are and has the wisdom to help you when you are in need.
A person who cares about the "who you are" and not what you can do for them.

In return you return the effort and grow together.

My definition of friend is somebody who you can trust with anything, and you know for sure they will not betray you.

To me a friend can be many things: someone you trust, someone that makes you laugh, someone that understands you, someone that is there for you when the going gets tough, someone that shares a history with you.

Some people have some of these things; some have all of those things - but usually not all the time. Even so those are the best friends.

Someone who you can trust, someone who you know will understand your problems. Someone who likes you just for you and not for someone they want you to be. A lot of times we're attracted to our opposites as well, so I'd say someone whose there for you when you need them.

A friend is that person who knows just what to say to make you feel better when no one else can. A friend is someone who you can trust and has trust in you. A friend is someone that can vouch for you even when you do the stupidest things because they understand you. A friend can finish the lyrics to the song of your life.

I wish I had a friend like C8loraraine described- I think that's the best definition of a friend I have ever read.

a friend is someone who will drop what they are doing to come to your aid no questions asked. who will try and make you smile when they know you are upset. will come to your defense when someone is bad mouthing you.
