some ways

to determine real friends

1. They actually ask you to come places to hang out, not to finish off some thing
2. They include you in photos
3. They ask how something was, not to ridicule you, be it in their heads or with their other friends, but cos they're genuinely interested
4. They know stuff about you because they ask and listen and remember
5. They support you in stuff you get to do/want to do
6. They can tell you what your middle name is
7. They are happy to listen to you talk about anything, everything and crap
8. They don't put you down all the time, or even fifty fifty of the time
9. They understand your thinking
10. They don't treat you like a charity case.


Go figure.
