It is easy to find out whom one's true friends are: tell them something which makes you really happy and have a close look at the way they react. Some display happiness; it does not matter to them whether it might be in their disadvantage, they are just happy for you. Others, however, show no happiness at all, only judge, or stress because a simular thing has not yet happened to them. It may sound harsh, but it is endlessly annoying! One of my friends reacted this way, she symply became hysterical and told me she was getting desperate now. Really, she should go and take acting classes... Another friend of mine, on the other hand, was really sweet, as she was happy for me, only slightly worried that I might end up getting hurt again.
It is not difficult to see whom is a true friend. Our friends are not defined by sharing our interests, as some people whom we care about are very dear to us and yet share few of our interests. Our friends are defined by the way they can put aside their own interests and show that they care...
Keep such friends close, as they are rare, indeed.
