So i was been thinking what should i do as my first blog in my serial here and i choose to talk about FRIENDS. Why not ? Let's start with people who we love and that's ours friends ❤️
Feel free to talk back about it. Also if you go on my profile you will see what theme i choose to talk next . And if you want to you can give yours opinion about theme in my dms and i will post it on my blog.
So lets start with this and give us question what is FRIENDSHPS?
Friendship, a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. In all cultures, friendships are important relationships throughout a person’s life span. ✨️
Friendship is generally characterized by five defining features i think :
1. It is a dyadic relationship, meaning that it involves a series of interactions between two individuals known to each other.
2. It is recognized by both members of the relationship and is characterized by a bond or tie of reciprocated affection.
3. It is not obligatory; two individuals choose to form a friendship with each other. In Western societies, friendships are one of the least prescribed close relationships, with no formal duties or legal obligations to one another.
4. It is typically egalitarian in nature. Unlike parent-child relationships, for instance, each individual in a friendship has about the same amount of power or authority in the relationship.
5. It is almost always characterized by companionship and shared activities. In fact, one of the primary goals and motivations of friendship is companionship. In addition, adolescent and adult friendships often perform other functions, such as serving as sources of emotional support and providing opportunities for self-disclosure and intimacy.
Friendships play an important role in healthy 0f human and adjustment across the life span. Friendships exist in practically every stage of development, although the form they take varies considerably with age.
What Is The Definition Of A Good Friend?
Many of us may believe that we have true, close friendships, but may not give too much thought to how we would actually define a good friend. A friend can be someone you've been close to for years, or they could be someone fairly new in your life. They could be someone you bond with over a favorite sport or TV show, or perhaps a new friend you made at school or work. A friend can come from all aspects of our lives.
POSSIBLE SIGNS OF A GOOD FRIEND: 👍 🤔
-- ------A Friend Is There For You---------------------------------
A good friend is often someone who will be there for you consistently, whether that is through simple words or grand gestures. A good friend likely won’t desert you because you are having a hard time or experiencing sadness. Good friends often recognize that life can present significant challenges, and they will be there for you when that happens. A good friend stays by your side, and a real friendship is one that goes through these trials and remains strong.
- ----- A Friend Listens To You-----------------------------------------------
A good friend is often someone you can be vulnerable and open with. They are often someone you feel comfortable talking honestly with because you know they are genuinely listening and care about what you have to say.
------ You Feel Good When You're Around Them-------------------
A good friend is typically someone whom you enjoy spending time with, and they may also increase your self-esteem when you're around them. With a good friend, you may laugh, have fun, feel connected, and generally enjoy each other’s company. Rather than worrying about being judged, you can often feel comfortable and confident when you are around good friends.
-------------------- They Are Empathetic Towards You---------------------------------
A good friend is often empathetic to your struggles or what you're experiencing and shows that they care. A good friend will often try to understand who you are, as well as your perspectives and give you space to express your feelings. A good friend typically won’t be judgmental or dismissive.
--------- They Are Able To Apologize And Forgive-----------------------
In a long-term friendship, there are likely to be some arguments at times. Good friends typically recognize this reality and are able to both apologize and forgive, within reason of course. Good friends can forgive each other and continue nurturing a positive friendship.
POSSIBLE SIGNS OF A BAD FRIEND: 👎 🤔
---------------------- They Are Only Around When They Need Something--------
Some friends may only want to spend time with you when they need something. When you've given them what they need, they may stop acting like a friend. Friends can help each other, but if the help is one-sided or if the friend is only around when they want something from you, this may be a sign that you're being used.
------------------------- They Frequently Bad-Mouth Other Friends---------------------
If your friend is frequently voicing negative opinions about their other friends to you, then you may consider that they could be saying bad things about you to their friends. If this friend is always speaking badly about others, they may not be someone you can trust.
------------------- They Don’t Tolerate Differences-------------------------
Friends often have some differences, be it hobbies, interests, outlooks on life, or beliefs. Good friends can typically understand these differences and accept you for who you are. However, if someone seems to frequently be dismissive, judgmental, or demeaning of you for what you believe, they may not be a good friend to have in your life.
---------------- They Are Often Flaky------------------------------------
A flaky friend can be difficult to accommodate. If you're the one who is always making plans and they're frequently making excuses or not showing up, you may wonder if they care about the friendship. However, there can be legitimate reasons for this behavior, such as if a person has social anxiety, so it may be best to try to talk with this friend to gain an understanding of what might be going on.
- They Are Pushy And Not Understanding
If a person is pressuring you to do things with which you don’t feel comfortable, such as attend a certain party or try certain things, they may not be a good friend. A good friend can respect your boundaries. Additionally, if you have obligations, such as work, school, or family, and your friend gets angry whenever you're busy, then this can be a sign of a less than healthy relationship.
ONLINE FRIENDSHIPS
THIS IS FOR PEOPLE FROM HERE Hehe
˝˝But they're not really your friends.˝˝
The first time I heard this was from my mother. I had just starting reaching out in social media groups and finding like-minded people. Any time I mentioned them my mom would tell me how they don't count as friends because I have never met them in person.
It's easier to find people you truly connect with using the internet
It is actually more likely you will find a person you have a lot in common with over the internet. There's a limit to how many people in your neighborhood are into the same obscure band or film or who have experienced the exact same hardship. Internet gives us the tools to find people very similar to us and connect with them. I would personally be very lonely if I did not have my online friends.
In my opinion loving a person has little to do with their location. My love for my online friends is very real and strong. I am concerned when they are ill, heartbroken when they face trauma, and happy when they find joy. I talk to them regularly, and we maintain a very real connection. I doubt many people here disagree but perhaps some people here have heard the same things I have about their online friendships.
