friends are hard to find, especially if you are looking at what they MUST have. how about trying to just be yourself and let the other person be who they really are? You might be surprised how many people around you can be good friends that would stand by you.

The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather what he does not say.~kahlil gibran
