Friendship - A Preference

Hello...
To all that I do not know personally,
Please don't get me wrong, only a "true friend" willingness need apply!
Why do I say this? 
Many have experienced people that have acted like "users", instead of friends. 
I may be friendly, helpful, and generous; yet it is not to be confused with stupid, or someone to "use/ walk on". For these reasons I have cut some out of my life, and feel the need to blog this subject.
MY "CONDITIONS"
1. You MUST be sincere, reasonable, and a trustworthy person with integrity. I value my true family/ friends. No fake/ phony friends or "Frien-emies" wanted here.
2. Unnecessary negatives are not welcome either, as they hinder friendships instead of helping them grow.
Constructive criticism is best.
3. There is a motto among some friends, that I appreciate and prefer myself...
Quoting the motto "No glass, No attitudes". Need I say more? (^&^)

 From an email sent to me, here are some examples of "true friend" behaviours/ thinking. 
Thankz for this Raj!

My Add:
If only ALL "friends" were like this, our world would be so much better! Too often we forget to call, email, or communicate; to let others know we accept them, appreciate them, and love them.
= Until next time...
Take care & Safe travels!

3. If you are joining as a member, is to be by your choice.
We may make you honourary members, but this does NOT mean that we expect things from you. That would be by your choice(s) if you choose to collaborate with us - just as any membership is your choice.
= 

4. All members are to be respectful of other members' "stuff", and to keep non-constructive "criticisms" to themselves  or find a way to change it to be positive. There is no intentions of favoritism or sharing more of any member/ their "stuff", than any other member. Shares are what is found to be beautiful, educational, inspirational; and are for enabling, empowering, supportive, and promotional purposes.

 As with all the categories above, feel free to add wherever you wish.
Collaborations just bring on the fun!!! (^^^)
Thankz so much if you do!

5. Intellectual property theft/ plagiarism in any way, shape, or form is not welcome within this community. This is seen as a crime against the owner/ artist, as well as creativity itself, and will not be tolerated.
As we all know, any difference of opinion with intellectual property ownership can happen anywhere (here included). However, we prefer that it be sorted out among those involved elsewhere.

 All members are to be responsible for their own copy-writing, trademarking, watermarking, etc... 
Please feel free to share any information with us regarding these topics. Thankz (^&^)

I (Chris S.) will be checking each name/ person on any of the lists as they grow, to ensure that each has personally approved joining. This way, I hope to remove any possible problems with this. Thankz
