Thank you saidso. You have a very accepting attitude on friendships and the issues involved. That's great.
On wikihow, I found a GREAT article.
The Best Way to Decide if Your Friend is a True Friend - wikiHow it really helped give me validity. One friend in particular, one I did not mention, but one of the 3 "close" friends I have....I'm realizing is not a very good friend.
Its disappointing. But I like your viewpoint.
