Friends
Hello friend, trust you are doing fine.
I will like to share my thoughts about friendship.
In life,we all need friends regardless of the impact. Either they make you or break you. The idea is to teach you about life. Even good friends could wrong you. They could even be a bad friend to another person. The idea of friendship asides family is to add as a factor to a person's life.
I have seen situations where a person regards the friend than any member of the family. Why is this? Why do people make friends?
People make friends for so many reasons. Some of which are:they want to have some to have fun with. This is common among children. They always want attention,action and no dulling moment. It's also good for them to enhance their social skills,and be free among fellow children or people generally.
Another reason why people make friends is the fact that they need a crime buddy . This is common with the youngsters. Teenagers to be precise. Body changing, inquisitive about stuffs . They would rather not talk about with family because they find it akward but can with people in their shoes or who just had the same experience. So they gradually trust their peers . Then due to inquisitive nature, they start being rebellious . They want to do certain things they were asked never to do .
They call it adventure, rebellion, partner in crime, gossip partner etc... They also find their first Crush and boyfriends/girlfriends through this friendship. Most times they meet in school, Church/mosque programs , community , social media, social gathering and so on. Some go as far as getting a group name like da trio, pretty bellas, boys to niggas etc... I'm sure you might be thinking how do I know do much,lol,it's not like I really did all these,just few tho.
Another reason for friendship is happiness. Some people are really depressed inside but may never show it. Infact some hyper active people tend to be the ones hurting more . So ,when they get to see someone they can make memories with , someone that makes them Happy,they never want to let go and the friendship continues.
Some people make friends because of merits . The chances of achieving something from a person can also determine friendship. Most people find it difficult to make friends if they see no impact or support your friendship can offer them. They just want to be friends only if you're in line with their standard. It could be base on social status , marital status , achievements,tribe, religion and so on.
Consequently,not all friendship ends well. Some can even turn out to be ones doom . They will be the wolves in sheep clothing of your life . This has destroyed so many people. It has destroyed so many people that the now have trust issues and will rather be a loner.
Also ,some get lucky to have good people as friends who gat their back through thick and thin. They help and build a person.
What out for the kind of friends you keep and mind things you share to a person to avoid betrayal .
Have a nice week.
