FRIENDSHIP

Making a lot of friends throughout our lives, from childhood to adolescence and aging, from
neighborhood to school and workplace, shortly in various aspects of our life, is ultimately inevitable.
Nevertheless, we categorize them into different types of gradual phases based on the level of the
intimacy between us and others; some are ordinary friends, some are much more valuable to
us, some are in the inner center of our life. It is the fact that the more quality time we spend with
someone in our lives, the stronger emotional bonds we have, which enable us to spend time
together to have fun, distract, share some basic feelings and thoughts, and comfort.
When it comes to friendship, it is the feeling of being much closer to some people than others
because of a dyadic relationship resulting from sharing a series of social, emotional,
sometimes cultural interactions and reciprocal respect, love, value, and
intimacy between two people. Should we feel completely comfortable
with someone without fear of judgment on their part, relying on their
support, we truly bring them into our life as the closest, best,
confidant, and valuable ones. That, of course, comes true when
some certain vital friendship core traits such as trustworthiness,
respect, loyalty, and accepting you as you are have been fulfilled.
