friend

A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and who respects you, someone whom you trust and who trusts you. A friend is honest and makes you want to be honest, too. A friend is loyal.

A friend is someone who is happy to spend time with you doing absolutely nothing at all; someone who doesn't mind driving you on stupid errands, who will get up at midnight just because you want to go on an adventure, and who doesn’t have to talk to communicate with you.

A friend is someone who not only doesn't care if you're ugly or boring, but doesn't even think about it; someone who forgives you no matter what you do, and someone who tries to help you even when they don't know how. A friend is someone who tells you if you're being stupid, but who doesn't make you feel stupid.

A friend is someone who would sacrifice their life and happiness for you. A friend is someone who will come with you when you have to do boring things like watch bad recitals, go to stuffy parties, or wait in boring lobbies. You don't even think about who's talking or who's listening in a conversation with a friend.

A friend is someone for whom you're willing to change your opinions. A friend is someone you look forward to seeing and who looks forward to seeing you: someone you like so much, it doesn't matter if you share interests or traits. A friend is someone you like so much, you start to like the things they like.

A friend is a partner, not a leader or a follower.

The word "friend" comes from Old English "frēond", which is actually the present participle of "frēogan", which means "to love" and "to honor".

Friends

Friends are people that get along with another person. They can only be the friends if they have differences that set them apart and have the odd argument. If you don't argue and them being around seems awkward, they are probably a fake friend, maybe pretending to be your friend for an audience, for fame, for your time and money or simply because they like you but is afraid to ask to be your friend.
They stand up for you against anything, because they are loyal and love you, and you should do the same back.

Friends will help out and will never talk badly about you behind your back or betray you in any way.

Mean person: You are so ugly!
Friend/ friends: Hey leave my friend alone!
You: Thanks ____

Friends+

Or Friend+
Friends who have feelings for one another but are not dating yet still fool around sexually, and as such are not restricted from dating other people and talking about those dates together like friends do.

Different from FWB - friends with benefits - which denotes friends who are just friends and sex partners but are not interested in dating romantically.

Friends+ do not have what it takes to actually date each other. Could be time, like both are in grad school and working full time and other family obligations. Or, emotionally unable to tie themselves to another person because the last relationship left them too scarred. But, there is mutual interest in potential romance.

Often the friends+ relationship looks from the outside exactly like two very busy people dating, but neither is willing to call it dating.

On social media it is referred to with #f+

“I thought you were dating Michelle?”
“No, we’re friends+. We might date when we graduate.”

Friend

A friend is someone who won't lie to you. They respect you for who you are and make every moment with you count. Time with your friends should be fun and you shouldn't have to change for them. Your friends should understand you and trust you. They help you with your problems and are always there when you are feeling down.

A friend cannot be replaced so don't even try.

Friend

Somebody who comes to your house and eats all of your food, (cheetos, doritos, pizza, etc,) and also uses your stuff with their cheeto dust hands.

"hey man, what happened to all of your snacks?" "aw man, my friend came over"
