[quote=Anonymous]OP.  This is the realization I have come to accept as I have grown older.  A true friend is someone who you can trust, who will be there for you through good and bad, who does not judge you (or your loved ones) for your faults or envy your successes.  They support you and cheer you.  They truly want the best for you and will be honest even when it may sting a little.  However, through the navigation of life I have come to realize that many friends I consider to be good friends are simply not true friends.  Yes, they talk behind your back, they are envious and judgmental so I do not share my deepest stories with them but we have a lot of superficial fun together so I do enjoy socializing with them and would consider them good friends just not true friends.  You just have to separate the true friends from the good friends and be OK with it.  This takes a lot of self reflection but if you take a good look it will all make sense and end your stress.  Honestly if you have more than one true friend in your life consider yourself lucky.  If you work on being aware of others around you - you will find a few.  I am truly blessed to have several true friends I can share it all with and a boat load of good friends.  One thing that might help you is to listen when others talk not wait to talk.  Hang in there and congratulations on your successes.[/quote]
