You can be friends with someone who is also real with you rather than a bunch of yes men who will only tell you what you want to hear. Someone who will listen to you but also offer real solutions that sometimes show a flaw in your own approach is a good friend. There is no over sensitivity in true friendship

Here's a really simple test to know who your TRUE friends are. *Don't contact them first.* Friendship should be reciprocal and if you're ALWAYS the one contacting them, *stop.* See how long it takes for one of your friends to invite you out or just have a talk. You'll be shocked at how few, if any, of your friends actually take the initiative and that should tell you a lot. When I did this, the days turned into weeks, and then months when I finally realized none of my "friends" ever contacted me. No calls, texts, visits, nothing. I finally realized I was acting like a lonely puppy dog following around my "friends", who wanted nothing to do with me. So better off alone, now that I have finally woken up to that reality.

I feel so lucky to have a friend like that. He's like the brother I never had. We've been through highs and lows and everywhere in between, but just being around him fills me with strength and grace. He's always willing to lend an ear, crack a joke, or lend a hand. He's the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back in a blizzard. Even with all the darkness he's dealt with in his life, he's still the kindest most generous and genuine soul I've ever met. I can't wait to go back home permanently so we can go on some more whacky adventures together. Love you, Duncan.

Another thing is: A friend is someone you can say "No" to. You should never be afraid of telling your friend that you don't feel like hanging out, or to advise against them doing something. If they're really your friend, they'll value your opinion and your wishes. They may not necessarily agree or listen, but they will at least understand.

As a person with a disabling injury and 2 surgeries for cancer, I love that Peterson's advice is NOT about how financially successful a person is, but rather about their level of complaint and the kind of friend you can be to others and how others are friends with you. So often people who have experienced traumas are in so much pain, they cannot have empathy for anyone else. When you have a disabling injury at a young age, often the people you end up spending time with are older folks because they're not out punching a clock. But there are "retirees" and then there are grumpy miserable able people who only discuss their bowel movements, and with whom anything you try to do is met with, "Oh, that will never work." Dr.Peterson's advice is vital for not absorbing the wrong voices into who I am. Awareness, empathy, and productive thought/action are all executive functions. Practicing these things, and deciding that today is a good day, require conscious choices, changes in perspective that keeps a mind alive. Well-done, Dr.P! And...Thanks!😊

You start to realise who your true friends are as you get older and you have less and less patience for the ones who aren’t.

I had a friend that always tried to belittle, undermine or devalue anything I (or others) said. It was often wrapped up in humour however the end result was always a devaluing effect. For a long while I ignored it as friendly banter because we did have a laugh. In the end it became too wearing and I kept my distance. We don't speak now and it doesn't bother me. He wasn't a bad person, he just had a superiority complex and social issues. He honestly thought he was the smartest person in the room, his mum and sister were the same. Easier to walk away.

@Jack and Bt Sandwich respect the words bro! Shame it takes a chill dude on KZfaq to get me but there are decent people in the world just got to be yourself and if they find you let it happen naturally don’t look for it 😃 I actually have a girlfriend now who loves me and I love her and I’m starting my own business so putting all the pieces together myself and not telling anyone until I put it out there on social media because I don’t want anyone to pull me back! I’m doing it for myself these so called friends aren’t going to pay my mortgage for me or bills so why not focus on my future right now! 👊 If you’ve read this far and got the time- I once had a best mate 3 years ago, we had gone to secondary school together probably been mates for 10 years. I remember going to a party and getting a little drunk but I meant good and was having fun. I remember telling him that he was my best mate and that I loved him as a brother! Really opened up so he knew. Little did I know that he would completely avoid me after this and throw it in my face 😢 we don’t talk anymore straight after the party. I can’t believe it happened like this- it really affected me and obviously still to this day. 😣 I used to be such a fun chill dude that would say thing like ‘I love you man’ ( I’m not gay lmao) just never had an issue saying it before but then this dude just made me feel shit and worthless and I just became more introvert. The next week I remember him having his birthday at his and me not being invited / wasn’t told about it even though all the people who went to the party where I said it went aswell. Oh well his loss man. He just wasn’t the best mate I thought. Now I don’t open myself up because otherwise people will take advantage (or they won’t) but it’s definitely because of him that I’ve changed. Even my best mate now he tells me I am his but I don’t say it back because I’m afraid the same thing will happen. All the best 😢❤️

The fact that you are aware of that possibility and the fact that you are not afraid to admit it makes me think otherwise. Your now conscious to the idea that you may possibly not be a real friend when you should be. The fact that you admit it shows you care to be a real friend and the fact that you weren’t aware of these qualities determining a real friend shows you weren’t intentionally being a bad friend. The only reason why you can be a bad friend or fake friend now since your aware of these qualities is by completely ignoring them and doing the opposite of what you know you should be doing.

True enough, though narcissism is often rooted in insecurity, and when they do things as described in the video, I'm not sure there is a difference between the two. Someone who downplays another person's successes may be truly in love with their own achievements, as you suggest, but that may only be a symptom of a deeper need for validation which has interfered with their ability to provide that back to others.

This reminds me of a friend, she had this tendency to always telling anecdotes whenever any topic was on the table, and it was a bit tiring to talk to her. So, one day I went to tell her about this game I was saving up for and finally got my hands on, and she went like "oh, that reminds me of... actually, nevermind, I shouldn't speak that much about myself, tryna change that lately." Then I could perfectly see in her face how she immediately noticed she was doing that right at the moment, and just moved on from that, told me to go buy something together, and then we played that game till night. It was one of those days of "forget about your problems and just have some fucking fun" What I'm trying to say is that even if a friend seems to be providing a toxic relationship, they're not necessarily doing it on purpose; everyone is open to change, and sometimes all a friendship needs to be fully formed is some faith, hope and patience

Women don't count because they are never really your friend even if you are married. She may act like your friend and like she has your back but, she's only with you for status, cash and prizes. When you no longer have enough of those three, she's leaving. Then she'll act the way she really is and you'll be treated as if you were never a couple and as if you had one, one night stand and you are a stalker for trying to talk to her after she leaves you.

Are we getting sad you or happy you today?” It was jarring for half a second but then I realized it was exactly what I needed to hear. Helped pull me out of a spiral and gave me a little reality check with some humorous tough love. Broke the tension and then we talked and laughed for an hour. Great friend.

It's important to know your true friends for all the good reasons mentioned, just as much as it is knowing that you're being a good friend to somebody else.

The new friend observed that we hadn't spoke in 10 years and just showed up when I was called to help. He asked why I would do that and i replied "Because he is my friend." It turns out Joe and I staid in contact regularly until his death a couple years ago at 62 YO. I miss that guy.

That's exactly why they are your good friend. Coz you don't get to be with each other that much.😂😂😂 Spend time together do stuff together and see if you both feel the same. The friend you don't see often, you're less likely to share your deep issues with, you keep it lighthearted and you wouldn't even know if they are in deep depression. That's acquaintance NOT A FRIEND. It's funny how easily and lightly the word friend is thrown around

My friend stopped his car on the side of the road and held an umbrella over my head so I could change the tires.

I have one childhood friend that I still talk to and celebrate our accomplishments with, an ex of mine who I've always been very close to him and his family despite us breaking up five years ago, a friend that built my PC and who I always want to treat to something because of how much he's helped me, and my mom who has always been the best listener who I help with the bills and has encouraged me in all my endeavors. These are the people I've surrounded myself with. I hope they never leave my life, we love to joke around and even tho I know I can be mean, I try to be as honest and straightforward as I can be with them and they all meet my expectation for that brutal honesty too. They've called me out on my bad habits and have helped me grow as a person and even if we don't talk all the time, I always think about them.

Key word is caring, as you said. Keep in mind a person with Autism may not take steps to contact you for fear of being an inconvenience, or on the opposite extreme may "call you to tell you how great they are" because that's how they feel in the moment after an achievement and don't know how that comes off. Furthermore, be sure you are doing the same, and not exclusively expecting that treatment.

If you do 90% of the listening, and ask questions so they can talk some more then you are being used. That's not a conversation, it's a listening session. A great conversation is a mutual exchange. Read Dale Carnegie books, but be careful because you can end up just being "the listener", and feel like a stuffed person could take your place if you are rarely in a mutual exchange.

A friend is someone that has seen and experienced you at your worst , and still loves and cares about you , because they have seen the same things in themselves .

My best friends wich has already got in, used to tell me that I should choose any college course because I was being left behind and wasting my time studying for what I really want to do. This year I got in the college course of my dreams and decided not to tell them imediatelly, after a month I decided to tell them and for my surprise they were not happy as I expect them to be, they did not really care about it. So now I can certainly tell you, Believe in your dreams, and listen only your heart, if you know that you deserve the best so do whatever it takes to get what you deserve. Do not give a fuck about what people will think about your choices, you are the only pearson that really need to know the reasons you choose it. Be BRAVE!! SERVIAM

(2) He’s insecure. He needs to make sure you’re not doing anything to better yourself because then you will be ahead of him. (3) he’s just straight up negative.
