What quality do you value most in a friend?

I feel that I know how to be a friend but honestly don’t have many or any friends. I have associates and contemporaries but really only one friend and she is on the opposite side of the country. A person that is around for good times and seems to always need a favor but desert you in a time of stress and always has an excuse when you need help is not a friend. I am always the person who is willing to help or be a shoulder to cry on but haven’t found in another and at 57 I really have stopped trying.
Wow this really isn’t the way the algorithm wanted this to be answered.
One response to “Really don’t have any..,”
I understand how you feel. It’s tough finding genuine friends who truly reciprocate the support and care you offer. At 57, it’s understandable to feel disheartened, but know that your ability to be a good friend is a precious quality that others will eventually recognize and appreciate.
