Question

What is more important to you in a friend: someone who shares your interests or someone who is supportive?

Answer 1

Someone supportive.  Actually, I think it's a good idea to have friends who don't share your interests.  I know it sounds weird, but that way you may learn something new.  For instance, if you are crafty and like to make little projects like keychains or friendship bracelets or lanyards, you might teach a friend how to.  And a friend who comes from a different country might encourage you to try some food from his or her country, and you might not have had it if you weren't friends! so having friends who are different but supportive i think is the best, but to answer your question, a supportive friend is better.  And it's ok to have friends who are similar to you, but an unsupportive friend is not good at all.  

Answer 2

someone supportive, i'd rather have a friend that's the complete opposite interest-wise but will be there for me like a real friend instead of someone who likes the same things as me but aren't there at all when i need them

Answer 4

supportive, the people who share the same intersts as you may change their mind and leave you so it's probably better to have someone who is supportive.

Answer 5

I would have to say someone who is supportive. People with different interests just makes for a more interesting relationship - you can explore each others different interests and perhaps develop a taste for something totally new! Something you never would've thought you could be interested in before. Support is harder to find - a lot of people in this world just want to bring you down, and to have someone there lifting you back up is immeasurably valuable.  

Answer 6

definatly someone who is supportive. you dont have to be exactly the same to be friends. in fact, i like to be independant and stand on my own, personally. but someone who supports everything that you do is there for you is a real true friend. sure its always great to share interests, but its even better to have someone helpful that you can count on!
