Do you know who your true friends are?

What is the meaning of Friendship?

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between two or more people.

A World Happiness Database study found that people with close friendships are happier.

Although there are many forms of friendship, some of which may vary from place to place, certain characteristics are present in many types of friendship. Such characteristics include affection, sympathy, empathy, honesty, altruism, mutual understanding and compassion, enjoyment of each other's company,trust, and the ability to be oneself, express one's feelings, and make mistakes without fear of judgment from the friend. While there is no practical limit on what types of people can form a friendship, friends tend to share common backgrounds, occupations, or interests, and have similar demographics.

Friendship begins with simple talks that blooms into a long and deep conversation, and the next thing you know.. You begin to care so much. We all know that FRIENDSHIP become really strong when you have your full TRUST to each other. You know that since the day you gave your trust to someone, it means that you already treat her/him as your friend. In the typical sequence of an individual's emotional development, friendships come after parental bonding and before pair bonding. Friendships are often the most important relationships in the emotional life of the adolescent, and are often more intense than relationships later in life. The absence of friends can be emotionally damaging.

In psychology, trust is believing that the person who is trusted will do what is expected. Trust in strangers as a function of group-based stereotypes or in-group favouring behaviours based on salient group memberships. With regard to ingroup favoritism, people generally think well of strangers but expect better treatment from in-group members in comparison to out-group members. This greater expectation then translates into a higher propensity to trust an in-group rather than out-group member. It has been pointed out that it is only advantageous to form such expectations of an in-group stranger if they too know the group membership of the recipient. So you better choose who will you give your trust to. To those who really deserve your trust.. I know that nowadays, it's really difficult to find the deserving person who you gonna give your trust on. Just be yourself, and don't let others bring you down just because they don't like you or you've changed. Always remember that, True Friends will always there and the ones who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. They are the ones who always believe in you even when you've ceased to believe in yourself.. Friendship isn't about whom you have know the longest.. It's about who came and never left your side.

Friendships end for many different reasons. Sometimes friends move away from each other and are forced to move on due to the distance. On my own experience, friendships may end as a result of acceptance into new social groups. Friendships may end by fading quietly away or may end suddenly. How and whether to talk about the end of a friendship is a matter of etiquette that depends on the circumstances. Good friendships enhance an individual's sense of happiness and overall well-being. The quality of friendship is important for a person's well-being. High quality friendships have good ways of resolving conflict, ultimately leading to stronger and healthier relationships.

As you grow up, you don't lose friends. You just knew who the real ones are.. Everyone is going to change, through that change you'll find out who your true friends are and who's gonna turn and run away..

That's why I'm really thankful to have my friends with me.. Even if sometimes we argue, we teases each other, saying unpleasant words to each other but then who cares? We're friends and we love each other. Sometimes we have problems, sometimes we fight, sometimes we laugh ((we always laugh)), sometimes we cry, i know everything about them, and they know everything about me. And even though we have defects, we love each other and we always will. To be honest with you guys, i don't have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about.. Thank you for being stupid, you sometimes fail, y'all are really weird that's why i love you, you're not perfect. Well i'am too. That's why we've clicked. We laugh at the randomest things, we sometimes disagree. When i'm sad you're always there to make sure I'm okay.. I know twenty years from now, or should I say 10 years? Um. Hahaha. I'am gonna look back and remember that you were that person who could turn every frown into a smile in a few simple words; that person who lifted my head when I was losing faith in myself; that person who carried tears on her shoulders after every heart breaks. Lol. That person that accepted every decision I made, that one person who knew who I really was. Thank you and I'm really grateful to have you in my llife. You're the best shit ever. I love you Jubel Villalobos, Shane Vergara, Cherlaine Esquivel and etc. This is really long enough so I'm gonna stop now.. Hi friends. :) Thanks for reading this. <3
