Most of us, whether single or married, living alone or with a family, need friends. Friendship is a special bond born out of a special need to share. Most bonds of friendship stand the test of time. Sometimes childhood friendships begun in the kindergarten or in school last almost a lifetime. How do we single out people and strike deep bonds with them? Is it magic? Is it chemistry? Or is it some association from the previous birth? What is it that determines with whom a person will strike a bond of friendship?Sometimes, we make friends because we are lonely and need someone to share our thoughts and feelings, our fun and games with. Some friends are brought together by common needs. To find someone to do things with or chat with is good fun. Common interests such as love for animals, mountaineering, or art can also bring people together. Friendship also satisfies the need for understanding and emotional support. Issues and subjects, which are not understood or appreciated by parents, siblings, children or even spouse, can be discussed with friends. Sometimes, friends are brought together due to similar concerns. Teenagers, who find acne and excess weight distressing, rely heavily on friends to tide them through this rough phase. Often young mothers, who begin exchanging notes with each other on how to bring up their children, end up forming a lasting bond with the person. In fact, friendships based on emotional support are predictably more intense than friendship based on doing things together. Opposite personalities attract each other and we become friends with each other. It is not always necessary that you have to be friends with people who share the same ideas and thoughts with you. You need to discover your friends as they are special personalities too. As Robert Louis Stevenson has said that - A friend is a gift you give yourself. And this very true because a friend and friendship is so special a bond which you cherish throughout your lifetime. It is true that you have to be lucky if you are to have good friends in your life. Friendship is a delicate yet a strong relationship which has to be sustained and unless not done it will fade into oblivion. Be it any relationship, you have to take some effort to maintain that bond of friendship. Don't take a friend for granted as that is the biggest mistake you can do. Never let down your friends. Even though it may be difficult at times try to stay beside your friend always through thick and thin. We rely heavily on our friends for emotional sustenance, companionship, motivation, advice, and most of all, for their love and concern. A friend makes a deep influence on one’s life, particularly in the formative years. One of the contributions a friend makes is that he/she teaches us social skills. The way we talk, meet or behave is often shaped by our interaction with friends. Friends influence our thoughts, views and perceptions of life. Sometimes important decisions in our lives are taken due to a friend’s influence. Many of us subconsciously strive to be like our friends ♥
