My best friend is a Peruvian (pic related) fellow who I met in high school. He talked me down when I was feeling suicidal, and he always offers to buy food for me when we hang out, because he knows I don't have a job. Sadly, I don't get to spend much time with him, but maybe I'll see how he's doing now that I've written this.
And for the anons who say they don't have friends, no matter how weird or awkward you might think you are, there are 7+ billion people in the world, and as long as you don't isolate yourself completely, you'll eventually find at least a couple who can give you hope for the whole species.

most of my friends are shrieking troglodytes but i like them anyway. its damn hard to find people who can talk to you for hours at a time about nothing in particular so i cant be to picky.

My friend is called Louie. He's very nice when you get to know him but also very mischevous so he gets in a lot of fights. People always like him. He likes drinking and doing drugs a lot on the weekends so we don't really hang out much. A lot of the people he hangs around with aren't good people and will steal from you any chance you give them. Their rational is that if you open yourself to being robbed, you deserve to be robbed but It's not a great enviroment to be in. I also don't see him much because he's always going to parties and stuff and whenever i'm at a party unless i'm very drunk i tend to feel out of place. He's a good person. Whenever I needed a partner in school he would always go with me. Honestly, my school life was really shit before i became friends with him. I don't know if I could have done it without him. I should talk to him more.

My best friend from school is an avid linguist; he knows French very well, Spanish and Arabic to a good standard and has bits of Latin, Italian and German. I talk to him about languages a lot when we meet up; he tells me about Noam Chomsky's theories and I tell him my thoughts about the etymology of some words. He's also an absolute memory machine, if that wasn't clear from the language skills. He knows everyone's birthday, parents' names and so forth even if you haven't given that info more than once. If I had to give a downside, it would be that he can be overly judgemental, although this contributes to his humour along with his cynicism. We are studying at different universities now, and I really hope we keep in touch.

I have very few irl friends, I don't think of them as "good friends" anyway
I do however have some very nice and /kind/ online friends who I appreciate a lot. My father says that you need to be face to face with someone in order to really know who they are, and that online friends aren't real or meaningful. I disagree with him strongly, and I'm sure many of you do too. Thanks to everyone who takes time to talk to people you've never met in real life and support them, you are very nice!

It depends what one means by 'what someone really is'. In irl social situations, people might not admit things that they would do when behind a pseudonymous nick on IRC. However, when you lose the 'extra dimensions' of real life, you also won't understand a person in those dimensions. For example, you won't know how an online friend acts physically, how they deal with other people irl or how they react to being lost, cold, hungry, drunk, overjoyed, etc. There is only so much that the alphabet and punctuation can communicate.
I also feel that it is much easier to lose touch with online friends. People sometimes just go AWOL - they forget about a particular IRC channel or messaging service, real like overtakes them, etc. - and it is so much harder to find them again. I am therefore in favour of having both kinds of friends.

I agree, it's best to have both types. I am saying that online friendships can hold just as much significance as an irl one, even though they differ.

I have a friend who I met about a year ago, he is super creative and witty, and he's the friendliest person I've ever met. However we rarely get to see each other because he lives so far away.
What he doesn't know is that I've fallen madly in love with him and I don't know how to tell him, and I'm afraid to tell him because it might ruin the friendship.
What do?

I had lived in Helsinki for six years, and made some friends by organizing mlp-meetups where anyone could come to a park with their own booze and we'd just talk and drink together. All that partying was getting tiring tough, so last February I moved to Kokkola in order to get my lifelong dream project of car customizing started while living with an old friend.
Life in Kokkola was very uneasy with my landlord/friend complaining about everything, but I couldn't do anything beside try my best, which was never enough. It all changed when my newest friends from Helsinki came all the way to Kokkola for my birthday, and I was actually moved to tears as they reminded me of how important their friendship actually was for me.
After the birthday my landlord/friend complained about letting weirdo druggies into the house and told me that if they ever set their foot in the house he'd call the cops. He also gave me until the end of the year before he'd evict me, but that was actually a relief as I was now determinend to move back where all my best friends lived anyway. I moved into my current house last month, and have been happy with my pony friends ever since.
Friendship truly is magic!

I have this one good friend. I met him at work, and I honestly disliked him a lot when I first started. When they took me off the midnight shift and back on days I could hardly believe how our relations had changed, and we connected right away. We kept an eye out for each other, and he showed me more tips and tricks than I learned in my actual training and now we regularly go out for meals after work.

So I was left in charge at work the other afternoon. By the end of the day, there are only three of us; me, the girl I was training, and a guy I had trained not long ago. I didn't have high hopes for the last two hours. Suddenly after everyone else leaves a giant line appears. I didn't expect much but this guy who usually gives me a hard time managed to handle the drive through, and help the person on front while I made sandwiches and soups. He was amazing and I told him at the end of the day that I thought he did really good. He visibly could not believe it and we started talking more ever since.

dont have none.
i have an online contact i talk to daily i've known for five years but i dont consider him a friend. he's a depressed alcoholic and he treats me like shit. only friendly thing he does is draw pictures for me sometimes. but it's so rare, couple times a year average, that it's overshadowed by his shitting on my opinions, shitting on my lifestyle, shitting on my looks and playing devil's advocate all the time even when he agrees with me just to piss me off.
he's like a snake.
but he's all i got. no one else talks to me consistently. i meet really nice people but they lose interest in me in a day. it's very frustrating.
some guy emailed me sucking my cock saying how much we have in common and how he wants to talk to me all the time so we can learn about each other and our mental illness. just totally flattering me.
we talked twice and now he ignores my messages. he doesnt even hide it by going invisible, just plays games all day and ignores me.
fuck him
fuck everyone
at least a hundred people have done that to me
