Friendship is one of the most vital relationships we can forge in our lifetime. Man by nature is gregarious and, therefore, every single person needs friends to associate with. It need not be a large number but you do need at least one friend who will understand you and be there for you always.
Making friends may not seem to be too hard but maintaining the relationship is definitely tough. It requires an equal effort on the parts of both the people involved. Therefore, it is important to keep a few rules in mind that help cement the bond of friendship firmly.
- The first major rule of friendship is to be true to you. Most of you struggle to maintain your individual identity once you become part of a group of friends. It is vital to figure out what aspects of your personality you want to remain the same. Presenting yourself in the most honest and genuine way will let people know who you truly are. Trying to fit in is not always a good thing. Allow your individuality to shine through. This may cause a few ripples with other members of your social group but at least you will stand out.
- Always be prepared to defend your friend and stand up for him/her, if necessary. After all, is not that what friendship is all about. However, it is always better to assess the overall situation once. It may be that your friend is in the wrong. However, do not lose respect for him/her even if a mistake has been made.
- Relationships are always tricky. It is even more so when it involves boyfriends or girlfriends. Refrain from dating your friend is ex and people who have turned your friend down. Even if your friend does not mind, wait a while before you get involved
- We all love to gossip. However, avoid spreading rumours about your friends, even if it is within your own social circle. More often than not, rumours turn out to be baseless. Directly ask your friend who is the topic of gossip whether it is true or not. However, be considerate and discreet while doing so. If you are not sure how to confront him/her, ask another trusted friend for advice. Set a good example for yourself as well as for others.
- Always try to return the favor. Consider your friend's feelings too. Be generous with your time and emotion
- These friendship rules are guaranteed to help you maintain a strong bond of friendship. Just be sure to keep them in mind when dealing with your friend(s)
