In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jim build a friendship as they travel the Mississippi River together. Briefly, do you find friendships easy to form or do you need time to get to know someone well enough to call them a friend? What do you look for in a friend? 

I can create friendships very easily, but once that person breaks my trust then i dont bother with them because i want friends whom im able to have connections with and who would not go behind my back or anything of that sort. I look for people who could be my friend who are friendly, honest, social, and who is willing to talk about our problems or simply anything in general.

I am not one who trust people easily, i feel like i need to get to know the person well enough because i don't want them to be 2face. What I look for in a friend is someone who knows how to listen, and when to talk. Someone who knows that gossiping on certain people is unacceptable, and finally I want to be able to introduce them to my parents without being paranoid of what they are going to say.

It is easy to create a friendship. It is difficult to maintain it. It is in between difficulties to manipulate a friendship to shape it the way you want to. I look for entertainment in a friend, and an easy person to manipulate. I also like experimenting with friends for certain purposes that I will not share. I have Aspergers, so I have some awkwardness in building and maintaining a friendship. If you look it up, you'll see why.

 It is very easy for me to make a friend but to be able to trust them is a different story. I am one of those people that cant trust a person until I get to know them. I have had some trust issues with a a so called friend and I will not make that same mistake again. I look for someone who I can count on to be there for me and always have my back no matter what the situation is.  Someone who is easy to talk to and is a good listener.

I find it easy to make friends.  I find it much harder to have friends that I trust. I do not trust easily but those that I do trust I have gotten to know well enough to know that they won't break that trust. What i look for in a friend is someone I can tell anything too and know they'll never tell anyone else. Someone who can make me laugh even on my worst days and someone who is just a good person to be around.
