I'm really bad at keeping friends.
People who have best friends whom they can confide in are truly lucky in my eyes. I wish I can have someone to tell him/her everything, but I don't. As a result I learn to suppress and keep a lot most of my problems to myself...

One of the things I have noticed about having friends is the confidence they have in you to be able to tell you anything without fear it'd get told. I hold many friend's confidences and they know they stop at my ears. While not all are 'best friends', I would say at least 4 are. They know they can come to me and I know I can tell them anything as well. While Becky is my dearest friend, my others are all male.
To have a friend, I guess you have to be one first and be able to trust others.
