The following are important points I have experienced about what a true friend is: 
1.A real true friend is one who is able to listen to you, the one you are able to pour out your inner secrets of your heart to without minding your vocabulary.
2. Someone you remember when you are blessed and all goes well with you, and does she or he. In the same manner, one you run to when things have gotten rough.
3. Someone who rejoices with you in your merry season.
4. Someone who knows you so much that when you talk once she or he decodes the message quickly and can disect deeper into a thought or emotion that comes with your one sentence.
5. Someone who has recognised your uniqueness and supports with much respect who you are. She or he knows your potentialsand all your capabilities.
6.Someone who is much like your third eye. She or he is able to identify among many opportunities that are presented before her or him one which is specially for you.
A true friend is never greedy towards all matters concerning you. No matter
where you are she or he will call you to tell about that pair of a sandals you
have always wished you had. That is even if it may look quite stunning on her
or his feet she or he will definitely reserve it for you.
7. Someone who cares about your wellbeing whether physicaly or psychologically and cares too about your where-abouts respectively. If she or he cares about what you are thoughts it means she or he is concerned about your psychological where about.
