Introduction

Companionship is a dedicated bond between two people. Both experience profound concern and affection for one another.

Typically, a companionship is formed by two individuals who share comparable interests and emotions. Throughout life, you encounter many individuals, but only a few remain by your side for a lifetime.

1, Creating Goals for Friendships

Chapter 1:

The Fundamentals of Friendships

Summary

Thomas jude an English poet, once said, No Man Is an Island, a well-known expression when discussing people's connections with one another. Indeed, no one can live alone on this planet, which is why God created different forms of relationships, such as friendship. Friendship is one of the greatest forms of relationship that everyone desires to have.

To understand what friendship is, it is crucial to examine its definitions and reasons for its importance and goodness. For this, one can refer to the great philosopher Aristotle.

Many philosophers focus on conjecture and theory. Aristotle has undoubtedly contributed to this kind of philosophy as well. He has given great importance to the reasons why friendship is essential.

2, The Fundamentals

According to Aristotle, no one would choose to live without friends. This notion is significant because Aristotle emphasizes that even people with all other possessions, such as wealth, power, and status, are still in need of friends.

He added that what would be the use of those possessions without having the opportunity to practice benevolence, especially towards friends. Aside from being able to practice benevolence, friends will help you guard and preserve your prosperity. Friends are more valuable and beneficial to people in misfortune and poverty, as they can consider their friends as their only refuge.

Friendship is as important as life itself, Aristotle boldly stated. Friendship covers people of all ages, social classes, and economic statuses.

In fact, wealthy individuals are considered to need friends the most, as being rich has no value unless they have someone or

some people to share their wealth with. Additionally, friendship can reduce risk.

This is true because when an unexpected occurrence happens, you can always seek assistance from your true friends. This helps unfortunate individuals benefit from friends during times of misfortune and poverty.

However, the most important fact is that friendship can stimulate a person to take righteous actions. By joining with your friends, you will have favorable thoughts and act accordingly. There is always something special about the feeling of friendship that makes you want to act. A person should acquire a sense of delight whenever helping his friends, even though it is not always a joyful task. With friends, you always give your best effort in everything you share together.

The concept here is that having friends can enhance your life by improving you as an individual. Serving your friends can benefit you by helping you improve yourself. These facts alone show the value of having friends and building trustworthy friendships.

Chapter 2:

Identifying Problems in Your Friendships Summary:

Having good friends is wonderful, as you share both good times and bad. However, problems in friendships cannot be avoided. Knowing where the issues lie is crucial to resolving them.

It is not easy to simplify friendship issues, as each friendship is unique. However, there are similarities in the issues that arise, and it is important to identify them.

3, Where Do Issues Arise?

When a serious issue arises with a friend, it can be disappointing, unexpected, and inconvenient. Communication is key to resolving these problems, but it can be difficult to know what to say.

One of the most important aspects of maintaining a good friendship is time. If one or both of you are busy with work or other commitments, issues may arise. This can be especially painful if you are used to seeing each other regularly. If your friend is too busy, it may be difficult to count on them when you need them. To resolve this issue, it is helpful to let your friend know how you feel. Be honest and express your feelings. This may give your friend some ideas on how to

improve the situation and preserve your friendship. At the very least, you will have made them aware of your feelings.

One potential problem that can arise in a friendship is when two people who used to be very close gradually grow apart and lead separate lives. It can be disconcerting to find that you and your friend no longer have the same connection you once did, and that your lives have taken divergent paths.

Friendship is a complex relationship that can have its ups and downs. If you are experiencing problems in your friendship, it may be helpful to have an open and honest conversation with your friend to try to identify the root of the issue. Perhaps one or both of you have changed in some way, and it is causing tension between you. In some cases, it may be possible to maintain a more distant connection rather than ending the friendship altogether.

One of the most difficult issues that can arise in a friendship is when one friend feels abandoned or ignored without any clear explanation. If this happens to you, it is natural to want closure and to try to understand what went wrong. However, sometimes it may not be possible to get a clear answer from your friend. This could be because you inadvertently said or did something to upset them and they are too afraid to confront you about it. In such cases, it is up to you to take the initiative to try to repair the relationship. Let your friend know how much their friendship means to you and that you are willing to work through any problems that may have arisen.

Ultimately, the key to maintaining a strong friendship is to be aware of the potential issues that can arise and to take steps to address them as soon as possible. By doing so, you can help ensure that your friendship remains a positive and supportive force in your life.

4, The Influence

Your companions have the capacity to impact you, hence it is important to be aware of how. Your beliefs can be molded by your friends. Beliefs and values can be altered when they are constantly challenged and when new beliefs are repeatedly reinforced.

For example, if your social group has a negative perception of the job market even before they have had any experience with it, it can also affect you. Such a pessimistic view is likely to have been formed from the constant ideas that are suggested and repeatedly reinforced among friends, such as finding a job nowadays is very difficult.

Your self-confidence can also be affected by your friends. Friends have the ability to influence each other's perceptions. If the majority of your group thinks that a certain person is snobbish and arrogant, this belief may be passed on to the entire group.

If you believe that someone is treating you unfavorably, you may interpret this as a sign that you are not worthy. This belief can have a negative impact on your level of self-confidence.

Your behavior can also be influenced by your friends. Being closely connected to your friends can have an impact on your behavior. For instance, if you observe that your friend is polite to someone, particularly someone who is older, even if you are not, you may begin to think that this is a positive thing to do.

This may encourage you to do the same. In addition to affecting your beliefs, your friends can also influence how you react to things. For instance, you may not be afraid of snakes initially, but after seeing your friend being bitten by one, your perspective and behavior when encountering a snake may change. This is how powerful friendship can be.

Your emotions can also be influenced by your friends, depending on the type of friends you associate with. If you have friends who are generally joyful, you may find yourself feeling happy around them too. Of course, if you care about your friends, you will feel sad when they are sad.

This is how the transfer of emotions within friendship works. However, if you do not want to feel as sad as your friend, giving them positive advice and letting them know that you care can be a great way to lift their mood. It is up to you to decide how much influence your friends have on your feelings, thoughts, and beliefs.

Chapter 3: Qualities of a True Friend

Summary

Friends come in different types, good and bad. Of course, no one would want to be with bad friends. Therefore, if you desire your friends to treat you well, you must also treat them well.

There are three types of friendships: friendship of virtue, friendship of mutual interest, and friendship of usefulness. Regardless of the type of friendship, it is vital to be a good friend.

So, what are the qualities of a good friend? It is not enough to simply know these qualities; you must exemplify them. A true friend rejoices in their friend’s happiness and shares their sorrow. A genuine friend is sympathetic and empathetic, feeling their friend’s emotions as if they were their own.

Disagreements may arise, but a true friend will never abandon their friend over a difference of opinion. Instead, they will communicate honestly and respectfully, keeping their friend’s feelings in mind.

5, A True Friend

A true friend stays in touch regularly, initiating contact and responding promptly. Consistent communication is a hallmark of a true friend. Trust is another crucial aspect of friendship.

When you can trust your friend and they can trust you, it brings immense joy. A true friend can be trusted without hesitation. Trust is earned through honesty and reliability, and it eliminates the fear of betrayal. If you trust your friend, you can confide in them, knowing that your secrets are safe.

A true friend is someone who will defend and support you during tough times. This is the ultimate test of friendship. As a good friend, you should empathize with your friend's feelings, understanding that hurting my friend means hurting me. You should not dismiss your friend's problems by saying, well, it's not my problem since it's not happening to me. Rather, you should provide care and support by standing by your friend during difficult battles. Instead of exacerbating the situation, you can offer a positive perspective to calm them down.

Engaging in a fight with someone who has hurt your friend will only make things worse. A good friend should not create complicated situations, but rather find ways to make things right.

Chapter 4 : Identifying Bad Friendship

Summary

Of course, where there are good friends, there are also bad ones. This is why it is crucial to be cautious in choosing and maintaining friendships. Recognizing the difference between a good and bad friendship is not always easy.

However, there are several signs that indicate a friendship is not healthy. Sometimes, you may struggle to think of things to do with your not really good friends, and ending the relationship may be the best option.

Seeking help when necessary is an essential part of ensuring that you are surrounded by genuine individuals.

6, Bad Friend?

At times, friendships can be confusing, and you may not be sure who among your friends is truly loyal, supportive, and genuine. Therefore, it is important to know how to identify bad friends. Opportunists are the type of people you should watch out for.

An opportunist is someone who wants to be around you solely because they can benefit from your possessions, such as your

car, home, or apartment. They may also use you to get close to your wealthy friends or family members.

This type of individual can invade your residence and even use your personal hygiene items without permission. However, when confronted, they become defensive and disrespectful towards you and your belongings. It is important to be cautious of such individuals.

Another characteristic of a poor friend is their self-centered nature. They live by the motto it's all about me and talk incessantly about themselves without showing any interest in your daily life or feelings. They often boast about their possessions, relationships, vacations, or even upcoming weddings, always striving to appear superior to you. Such friends can be difficult to trust and maintain a relationship with.

On the other hand, having a friend who constantly complains about their problems and seeks your advice, but fails to reciprocate when you need their support, is not a desirable trait in a friend. You may spend hours listening to their problems, but when you need their help, they are nowhere to be found. It is unfair to let them burden you with their complaints without offering any support in return. You are not their therapist, so it is essential to avoid letting them take advantage of your kindness.

Identifying bad friends is not difficult if you pay close attention to their behavior. Trusting people in today's world is

not easy, so it is crucial to be cautious about whom you trust. Building a strong friendship requires mutual care, understanding, and respect for one another. Whether you are new friends or have known each other for years, it is vital to prioritize your friendship and work towards maintaining a healthy relationship.

7, Comprehension

By asking questions, you can find ways to comprehend your friend better. To gain a deeper understanding of your friends, take the opportunity to meet their families and other friends. This will give you insight into the types of people they interact with and their relationships with their families. If your friends hesitate, give them time. Spend time with them before delving into their personal lives.

Discussing their interests in a respectful manner can also help you understand them better. Your friends will appreciate your interest, and you can learn about the things that make them happy.

Understanding your friends' likes and dislikes will help you build a stronger friendship. However, it's important not to pry too much or force them to talk about their personal lives.

Instead, let them open up to you when they feel comfortable.

Friendship is a valuable relationship that can have many benefits. Spending time with good friends can boost your

self-esteem, improve your mood, and reduce stress. It can also lower your risk of developing serious illnesses.

While maintaining friendships can be challenging, it's worth the effort for a happier, more fulfilling life. Having friends can provide a sense of purpose and belonging, increase happiness, and help you cope with difficult situations. It's no wonder that many people turn to their friends during times of need.

The positive impact that your friends have on your emotional well-being can also have a significant effect on your physical health. According to studies, social interactions can help reduce harmful stress levels that may damage the arteries of your heart, insulin regulation, immune system, and gut function. Furthermore, having friends around can boost your immune system and motivate you to recover from a devastating injury. Simply put, having good friends can contribute to your overall health and well-being.

Although the benefits of friendship may come naturally, finding and maintaining true friendships can be challenging. It can be particularly difficult during adulthood when responsibilities such as education, family, and career can limit your social life. That's why, if you find true friends worth cherishing, it's important to make a consistent effort to keep in touch with them.

Chapter 5 :

Staying Motivated to Maintain Friendships

As discussed in the previous chapter, if you have friends who are true to you and worth keeping, it's important to know how to maintain those friendships. However, before you can do this, you need to stay motivated to maintain your friendships.

To stay motivated, it's important to remember why you want to keep your friends. Think about the precious memories you've shared, both good and bad. Having a friend with whom you can share memorable moments is incredibly rewarding. The
