FRIENDSHIP

Friends help share who we are. they guide us into discovering all the things that make us unique. You and your friends may be different in terms of socio -economic status and educational background, but one thing is for sure, you definitely share at least one area of interest. According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship human share. when a person cares for someone because she/he derives benefits from the person, she/he is exhibiting the friendship of utility. Other practice the friendship of pleasure.She/he enjoys each others company. Friendship is said to be perfect if it is based on goodness; one should cause no harm to others.She/he stays with someone because sh others and should give happiness to others. Building friendships takes time and building friendships takes effort. Friendships are built slowly. Friendships require self-disclosure so any friendship has risks, Talking builds friendships and listening builds friendships. Start by sharing a few private thoughts and/or feelings with one person you might want for a close friend.
If the person is responsive, he/she will usually share a personal thought or two with you.
If he/she is not responsive to your overtures, don't think of this as a rejection.People may be non-responsive for reasons of their own or merely as a perception of yours. Nevertheless, they can't be rejecting you because they don't even know you yet.
