Being… friendly.

Being supportive, someone I can trust, and doesn’t judge me negatively.

That’s not always true… I sometimes don’t open a message for a while because I just don’t have the energy to socialize… It doesn’t have anything to do with who the person is, I just don’t open texts when I know that I won’t be able to reply to them in a good way without feeling even more tired… 
This is really important… You can’t expect someone to be there for you 24/7 but a real friend would never talk bad about you behind your back…
Same…
Sadly this isn’t always possible… We all have our own lives and things to do so it’s almost impossible to talk to someone so often… For me it’s more about the quality of the conversation than about the quantity of it… And welcome to the forums:wave: 
Don’t they get mad at you? I had to turn off the settings for read and unread so my friends wouldn’t get mad at me for not replying immediately
This is really childish in my opinion… You don’t have to do something because someone else does it too… If you don’t like being left on read, ask the person why they do it, set an example by not leaving them on read or simply stop talking to them

– Somebody’s your friend when they genuinely act like it and ask you if what someone said that was negative about you was true rather than believing other people.

Being there for me during good and bad times.

Even if you don’t share the same interests, they listen and are supportive whenever you are talking about what you love and vice versa.
-
They won’t judge you or betray you, and if you tell them a secret, they’ll keep it.
-
They won’t ignore you, exclude you, or act differently around you whenever another friend of theirs comes into the room.
-
You enjoy their company.

Well one, bet if I ask them why that person left me on read it’s gonna be another 5 hours until they respond, I really don’t have time to become somebody’s friend if I’m gonna become ignored.
And yea I stopped talking to the person, it seemed like they didn’t even wanna talk to me lol, but it’s fine.

Well basically just someone I can talk to, if it’s online.
If it’s irl, then you’d need to bear my annoying self and give me some reactions so it’d be fun. Of course, you can also try to annoy me too, if you can think of ways.

I am a good friend 
I talk about my friends in front of them, but only just to annoy them and as a joke

Lol I have a friend who doesn’t reply sometimes but it’s just probably them being busy with their work. I get that they have their own lives and well, I don’t think I should be constantly bothering/pestering them everyday so I just send a message once in a while to see if they reply.

I say if you both call eachother friends then you’re friends. However when it comes to REAL friends, I think that you have to support eachother.

I agree with everything in the OP.
I want a friend to care about me, have my back, talk to me often, helps me out, and be someone I can trust.
I have a best friend in real life and it’s honestly like a fairy tale. She is one of the few best things that have ever happened to me. She’s like that supportive best friend in movies and books that I always wished existed, but never really believed in. We text every single day before and after school, and try to see each other as much as we can during the school day. When I was in hospital, I told her the truth about why I was there, and she was so supportive and kind and she’d text me every day and ask how I was doing. Every time I miss school, she leaves over 10 voicemails asking me where I am and if I’m ok. I honestly just love her with all my heart. I never believed someone like that could exist.
Yes, ok, I’m done.

Someone who has your back and doesn’t disappear on you when things get rough.

Where I volunteer to work, people who support me during piano recital and came to see me play. Also a little drama behind the kitchen doesn’t hurt at all.
But unfortunately they retired from work.
