What is a friend?

March 3rd, 2008 6:57 pm MST

There is no substitute for a friend!

What is friendship? Friendship is an in-depth relationship. Friendship is comfortable and relaxed. Friendship requires meeting the needs of both friends.

Building a friendship from casual friends. Building  friendships takes time. Friendships  require self-disclosure so any friendship has risks, Talking and listening builds friendships. Friendships require equality and loyalty from friends.

Maintenance of friendships is crucial. Friendships can not be neglected. One-on-one contact is a prerequisite of friendships. Friends must be flexible. Conflict must be resolved for friendships  to continue.

Friendships do end. Friendships may not last. Friendships can lose importance and die gradually. Some friendships end abruptly with unresolved conflict. The worst enemy of friendships is change by one or both friends. There is usually pain with the loss of friendship.

Setting Limits in Friendships Friendships as well as all other relationships must have limits. You set limits with your friends because you care for them and your relationship with them, not because you don't.

Conversation: Being able to carry on a comfortable conversation with a social acquaintance is a matter of practice and following certain procedures in communicating. It also works for best friends, too.

                                                 What is a friend?

Someone who...

Accepts you as you are, Believes in "you", Calls you just to say "HI", Doesn't give up on you,
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts), Forgives your mistakes, Gives unconditionally, Helps you,
Inspires you to be the best you can be, Just happy to be with you, Keeps you close at heart, Loves you for who you are,
Makes a difference in your life, Never judges, Offers support,
Picks you up,  Quiets your fears, Raises your spirits,
Says nice things about you, Tells you the truth when you need to hear it, Understands you, Values you, Walks beside you, X-plains things you don't understand, Yells when you won't listen and Zaps you back to reality.
