or





one who gives you like a realistic view on your choices?What's better? A friend who supports your choices or one who gives you realistic advice about it?
The friend that;





Gives you realistic advice :]





My reason for this is that the friend that supports you is a great friend, but theyre not a true friend coz yeah theyd do ANYTHING to see you happy. therefore alot of the ANYTHINGS would be lies jus so that your happy.


The one who gives you the realistic advice you may not be happy everytime your hear something from them, but they are helping you in the long runn coz if u take the supportive friends advice u may be happy for a wile but u wil eventually hurt urself. the true friend is the realistic one.





Please take that adviceWhat's better? A friend who supports your choices or one who gives you realistic advice about it?
There's a difference between sympathizing and empathizing with a friend, and that difference highlights this issue.





A friend who sympathizes is going to support your choices, even if they are bad choices, because she wants you to feel like she is ';on your side.'; The problem with this is that she may become your accomplice, which further enables you to make bad decisions.





A friend who empathizes is going to put herself in your shoes, try to understand how you feel, and give realistic (but sensitive) advice. This is the friend who you should listen to, because she genuinely cares about you and wants to listen and truly understand how you feel. She wants to help you make a healthy decision.
realistic views I would say but is also supportive as long as they don't think what you doing is completely the wrong decision with good reason. I think if you think what a friend is doing is completely wrong or out of order then you shouldn't be supportive. You may be friends with someone but you still have to have a mind of your own at the same time.
i prefer the one who stands in your every decision..


because first of all, its your life, you have the right to decide by yourself whatever it may caused you..your freind should respect your decision and she will be there to catch you whenever you fall..its a good thing to have a friend like that...and then you will realize that you've made a wring decision, so next time you know the right choice..wheteher youre in good or bad times, your friend is there to support you...thats what frends are for..
A friend that supports your choices.


A friend that gives a realistic view might hold you back from doing the things you really want to do.


If you want to become famous, you're friend might hold you back


but if she/he supported you, then they might help you get to your goal.
Just because your friend stands by every decision doesn't mean they are helping you make good decisions. Some one who is real with you is being more helpful. The other friend doesn't seem to have an opinion about what you do good or bad. I don't think that's good, no backbone.
A friend who gives yo a realistic view is better because it will bring you to a point where you will then rationalize the situation and therefore make the best choice in the situation.
I think a better friend makes you see all your choices and pushes you to the realistic one. But then they will stand beside you no matter what your decision is.
The realistic answer is my choice. I don't need a ';yes man'; in my corner. I prefer a devil's advocate that would contradict my decisions so I would see other sides of the issue.
realistic advice...a friend that loves you enough to be honest with you, even when you don't want to hear what they are saying is priceless and hard to come by!
The realistic cuss you don't wanna friend lesson to your crappy song and say ';Oh that's good go to the tant show';
I can't pick between the two. A better friend is one who will do both. When you just want support, they stand by you - but when you need honesty and a reality check, they give it.
both!!!!!!!!











answer mine please
