We usually think of definitions like caring, understanding, being there when needed or mutual interests when this question pops into our minds. This one I'm about to reveal is a rare but very true factor.
A true friend is someone who thinks of your welfare to the extent that he or she is not afraid to say things you may not like to hear but which are for your benefit. He or she points out your flaws or gives opinions as to better ways to handle issues you're facing. This friend is not afraid should you get angry and refuse to talk to him or her after hearing these things because he or she knows he or she was but showing care for you.
I prefer this type of friend who actually bothers to do this for me rather than another type of friend who chooses to break the friendship because of my flaws. It shows more commitment towards the friendship and more genuine plus lasting feelings for me. I'm blessed with such people in my life. Praise God! :)
