Ride or die friendship

Tips on how to choose a real friend

Your thoughts (94)

In life people will come and go. But real friends will stay with you.

You can talk to them about anything. They always look out for you.

You can be yourself around them.

A real friend will help out in any way they can. They don’t look down on you.

They tell you the truth.

These are your “ride or die friends”.

Meaning they will stand by your side no matter what

Do you have friends like this already or are you trying to find them? Here are ways to spot a ride or die friend

  • They are someone that has the same values as you. You guys don’t have to have everything in common. But valuing the same things like not being a liar or helping others will make you closer. Plus if you like the same music or shows you guys will always have something to gist about.
  • A real friend believes in you. A ride or die friend won’t look down on you.
  • Someone who shows up when you need them. A friend you can count on.
  • A true friend is someone you can always be yourself around. You don’t have to act cool for them to like you. A true friend likes you the way you are.
  • You need someone you can trust, who won’t share your secrets with the whole world.

If you want a ride and die friend you need to be one too.

Are you trying to make friends? Don’t be shy. Approach someone you like at school or a new neighbour. Start with a small talk. Ask them about their day. Offer them a snack. Compliment the way they answered a question in class. Start a conversation about a music you like or a movie you just saw.

Hey starly! Thanks for this comment. We understand how you feel. It can really be lonely when you do not have friends. You can make friends in your community by smiling regularly. Also, look out for people that you can gist with and join in conversations. These are easy ways to make friends in the real world. You can also make friends here on Springster. We hope this helps

Hey Joyce! Thanks for the comment. Do you really need a best friend? You have a lot of friends and it seems like you do not know what to do with all your friends. Find out if you really need a best friend and then choose one you can trust from all your friends. We hope this helps

Hey Hurlardex! Thanks for the comment. We understand how painful it is for you to move out of a location and also lose constant communication with a friend. What you both can do is to constantly be in touch through chats, phone calls, letters (if you have someone that can send them for you) and random visits. The more you keep in touch, the less painful it is it. We hope this helps

Dear Big sis. Please is this a crush or love there was a boy in our junior class that every pupil wanted him as a friend we girls went in for close relationship for we tought he was cool though he is now in another school we still miss him so much

Hey mixander! Thanks for the comment. It is a crush because you all are just interested in him because he is probably attractive. You all do not know him on a personal note. We hope this helps

i like a boy not that i Love him but i don't knt whether he like me too but am far from him and no way for us to talk not only one but two

Hey chidinma! Thanks for the comment. We do not really understand what you are saying but from the little we can gather, you are saying that you like a guy but distance is a hindrance to your communication (please correct us if we are wrong). So, you can get to know someone better through any means of communication and this can be through phone calls, messages, chats etc. You can always find a way to communicate if you really want to. We hope this helps

Hey Dricks9000! Thanks for the comment. We understand the need to have friends that are trustworthy however, you need to check yourself to know that you are also trustworthy. Friendship is not a one-way thing. You also need to be a trustworthy person before you start thinking of having friends that are trustworthy. If you have a problem with the one you currently have, then you may also have a problem with others. So, we advise that you should also be careful so that you don't meet the wrong friends too. We hope this helps

If truly good still i wish to have, i will be happy if i can have.

Hi Bigsister, i don't want to make friend with boys because when you began to talk with them or come close to them they will start tuching you were don't like or other girls will began to think negative about you both, BIGSISTER PLEASE HELP ME <3 <3

Hey chioma! Thanks for the comment. First of all, not all boys are like that so you need to change that mindset because not all boys will start to take advantage of you when they get close to you. The first thing you need to do is to know that not all boys will do this and then also, it is not every time that people begin to think negative when you are close to a guy. You need to be mature enough to be able to handle being friends with boys and general friendships. One thing we know for sure is that not all boys are like that. We hope this helps

Thank You Great Sister!!

Hey Ruthp! Thanks for the comment. Have you tried talking to your friend about how you feel right now? If you haven't, you should. She is your friend and she cares about you so she will be willing to help you out. We hope this helps

Hey Ashly! Thanks for the comment. You need to know what makes you shy. Then you can overcome it. Also, you should start by saying "HI' with a smile on your face. That will be easy. We hope this helps

Not that I feel shy,but anytime I try to talk to some one new I just stop talking my voice freezes and I run away not embarrass my self People say am timid but inside I think am not What should I do

So true why I don't even have friends. Most humans are fucked up

hi Delphine let me tell you something is not good to tell some people secret do you why is because when you tell someone a secret their would be a thing like a force that would make you to tell someone and is when you tell someone that you will be relaxed that is how it used to do me but that does not mean I can't keep secret I can when you tell me not to tell someone else then I can keep it.Happy Sunday

hey Delphine... you can share secrets but not personal secrets..... Trust is the basic thing in friendship

I don't have a friend & i feel lonely. even if it is a boy i need some1 2 share things with but d problem is dat all d gals suroundin me r not trustworthy nd am shy wit guys wat can i do

Hey Gifted! Thanks for the comment. From all the comments you have been sending in, it is obvious that you have trust issues and you are not willing to trust others so this automatically means that others will not trust you too. You cannot be unfriendly and not trusting and expect others to be friends with you. You need to work on your attitude and also your mindset before you can get friends that will trust you. This is very important for you. We hope this helps

Hey Mhiz220! Thanks for the comment. It is very normal to find it difficult to make friends. Not everyone is jovial, friendly and outspoken. However, we have written articles on easy ways to make friends even for people who do not normally feel comfortable doing so. We hope this helps

I find it very difficult 2 make friends because i feel d person would snub me whenever i approach him or her i really need an advise

Hey Springster! Thanks for the comment. First of all, you need to take that off your mind because no one will snub you. The moment you take that thought off your mind, that is when you will be able to freely make friends with people. Even if they snub you, it is not the end of the world and you should be able to easily move on to the next person. Do not take things like this too personal okay? Making friends can be as easy as A B C. We hope this helps

making friends is actually nice...but I'm friends with males than females

Hey IBI! Thanks for the comment. You shouldn't be scared of boys, they are humans just like you and there is really nothing to be scared about. As regards making friends, is there a reason why you do not have a friend? We will like to know so please share with us. Thanks

Why?

Hey gift! Thanks for the comment. First of all, you do not love the girl in question because you do not know her well enough to say that you love her. You need to start by being friends with her and then get to know her better before even introducing how you feel about her. We hope this helps

You girls really impressed me and your friendships is very strong,can I also join you as a friend to continue forever?
