In our world, in any period of history, the issue of communication and friendship has been very relevant. These concepts provided people with pleasant emotions, made life easier, and most importantly - survival. So what is friendship? In short, this is when the short or long communication of two or more people leads to a trusting relationship and mutual understanding. But this is ideal, in fact friendship is of many kinds, and both sides are not always honest with each other. Most friendly groups are created on the basis of common interests, for the convenience of life or profit.
Friendship General
How many types of friendships exist? No matter what modern youth, hickeys and people who avoid life in society tell us, each person has a desire to unite in groups. This is in the genes, because from the very beginning of time it was with getting into a group that a person could survive in the world and even succeed. What are the types of friendship?
The earliest look is childhood friendship. Social and location factors mean more here, that is, they begin to communicate and make friends with neighbors, kindergarten comrades, children of parents' friends, those who play in their yard. Very rarely, such friendship leads to something, mostly friends break up even at an early age. But there are cases when people were able to carry such relationships through the years and did not lose mutual interest in each other. Such relationships, unfortunately, are rarely found in the modern world. They need to be valued very much, because one who has experienced the good and bad moments of life with you can really be trusted. You always know that in parallel with you lives a person who will always support and help, will not leave you in trouble.
Adult friendship
Next we have adult, mature relationships. There are completely different rules. Most have their own families, work, responsibilities. Therefore, you can basically see each other at general holidays, rare meetings with family, during shopping, on vacation. The comrades cannot spend much time together, but holding onto this "thread" is very important. After all, as mentioned earlier, the survival of one individual is very dependent on the group. Yes, and everyone needs understanding, and for the most part this kind of friendship is based more on moral support, the exchange of information, and counseling on pressing issues.
It is very important in any relationship to have trust, it is the foundation for strong friendship. The biggest enemy is envy or rivalry. That one, that the other can be hidden or veiled. Therefore, you need to be wary of people around you if you are not 100% sure of them.
Partnership men and women
The kind of friendship between a man and a woman is very interesting. Many now believe that it is impossible, but it is not. This is probably the rarest form of friendship. In fact, it is possible and can be spiritually even closer than a relationship with a soul mate. This is a trusting relationship in which both individuals stand on equal terms. Relations can be built on mutual interests, common affairs, work, or simply on the realization that this person is needed or will be needed in the future, will not leave you in trouble. Both friends can discuss topics that they would never discuss with a husband or wife, but sexual contact is excluded. Categorically. If it took place, then such a pair goes into another group of relations or generally diverges with time. The meaning of such friendship is the knowledge and study of the opposite sex, strengths and weaknesses, mutual support. If in such a pair one person is in love with another, then these relationships can develop into something more. The experience of such a friendship suggests that companionship with the opposite sex can be very useful, but it is important to keep a distance. Therefore, it is very dangerous to have this kind of friendship, only in the entire history of mankind has it never stopped anyone.
Buddy on screen
A large place in the life of modern Homo sapiens has been taken by virtual communication, which very often develops into a strong friendship or even into something more. The advantages of such friendship are the absence of constraint, psychological, social barriers and stereotypes between two people. There is frankness, openness in communication. Although friends can be a few thousand kilometers from each other. Even the understanding that they may never meet in person does not stop the users of virtual chats. Acquaintance can happen in different "places", such as online games, social networks, or specialized dating sites. This is a very interesting kind of friendship, but do not forget that on the other side of the screen there may not be exactly the one you imagine. In a virtual account, a person can write anything, hide their shortcomings, and bring positive qualities to the forefront or even invent them. The positive thing about this kind of communication is that you can do the same.
Friendship
And in conclusion, we will analyze this type of friendship as friendship based on interests. It can occur anywhere: at a variety of courses, work, bar, which you go every day. This is not the strongest kind of friendship between people. The difference from other types of communication is that you spend time together only in a certain location, for example, in the gym or in the same bar, but then your friendship does not develop. Her goal is moral and psychological support, communication, information exchange, self-improvement. Nobody obliges anyone to anything, the relationship is open and superficial. But there is another side here - you should not expect trust, assistance and mutual assistance from such relations.
Everyone makes their choice
In the article, we examined that there are four types of friendship, their advantages and disadvantages. They understood that at the initial stages of the partnership great importance is given to external signs, but over time, more personality qualities are distinguished, special characteristics that are not immediately disclosed, but worthy of attention. It's up to you to decide which friendship is more to your liking. But the fact remains that we cannot do without communication and relationships with other representatives of the human race. Although some individuals crave life without any contact with other people.
