What's The Point Of Making Friends?

i understand where your coming from how friends can come and go, but to answer your question i feel like the point of making friends is to have a better life. We dont want to go through life alone.I feel that it feels good to actually have someone to talk on the phone with or go to the movies and just hang out, could you imagine life withotu friends? Who will make you laugh and who can you share your secrets with? Even if the friendship doesnt last that person always leaves something behind that you can learn from, it helps you as a person little do you know. it can as little teach you how to be a friend you can defiietly learn things from ppl. you dont wanna go through life alone :-(

Well in jesus case, actually 1 betray but He got another 11 students and friends who believe in him at the end.Actually friends are there to help each other.Using each other in friendship is common.I guess it is a mutual thing , where friends help each other and use each other in the sense.However, i guess in certain situation relationship are bound to grow strong or grow stagnant and weak.This is the human relationship.Unlike parent child relationship , husband wife relationship and bf and gf relatinship.

Hi friend. Its really hard to find out a real friend. I am also experienced by the betray of several friends, so now i am quite serious to find the right one. Have a nice day.

I don't have many friends and I know why. When I was younger we moved around a lot. I would make a few good friends and then we would move. Sometimes it would be them. There was no internet around then so it was harder to keep in touch. Even to this day, friends move away. Sometimes it is me. I make friends and then don't talk to them much anymore. Maybe it is my way of protecting myself. I do have a few good friends, but not a best friend. Perhaps you and me just have not met the right ones. I would like to have a best friend and may one day I will meet that person.

Maybe you are saying that because of bad experience. It's okay to feel that way, because sometimes we just hate the idea of being hurt that it gets us to change our beliefs. I admit that I too had a bad experience when it comes to friends, but I don't think friends are there for nothing. Even if they aren't that good to me, or even when they aren't there when you need them, what matters to me is that I value them as friends. Sure my views of them change from time to time, but I see to it that I've been a good friend to them so that they won't have nothing to say. And I know that we human beings have the tendency to only think of ourselves, but I know that we could be selfless when we feel love with another. Although I have been hurt several times by friends whom I don't talk to now, I think of them sometimes and feel the want to talk to them about unsettled matters.

I guess this is kind of true, because friends do come and go. But I've also found people are so much less happy without a few friends. you don't need to have a ton of friends, just a couple. they will come and go in your earlier years but sa you get older you start to realize who's your true friends.

Maybe what you are saying in this post of yours is that you have experienced the same thing... you might have been the user or the used person in your relationship with your friends. I would say that we make friends because people are social animals, we love being with our family, with people we can mingle with, share time and share stories with. I mea for most of our lives we could be lucky if we find one true friend that would stick with us through thick and thin. My mom did find her friend who never judged her and has never expected anything from her when she needed a friend to just be beside her in her darkest moment... I hope i find mine too... But unfortunately i am not able to say that i have that kind of friend, not even now that i am at my 30th age. I have acquaintances, i have friends back in highschool whom i though i can lean on but they disappeared one by one when our business failed - they thought i would only just borrow money from them.... I have friends in college, friends at work, whom i am still in contact with now and i guess i can maintain being friends with them because they are true to me.. and they know about my life and they accept me. I have them in my life because i know i am going to use them ever, and i felt they have never used me too.

I see where you are coming there are many people who are friends who come and go throughout our lives and for some reason or another the friendship just fades. But once in a while most of us are fortunate enough to find a forever friend the kind of friend who you know will always be there for you with out a moments hesitation if you need them and in exchange you would do the same for them. There are truly loyal friends out there. I have a friend because we are both moms of three we hardly ever get to see each other, and phone calls and on line chats are far and in between but we do always call each other on our Birthdays and make it a point to get together at least once a year, and we do talk on line occasionally we will always be there for each other even if we have not talked in two months and I am very confident in that. We have been friends for about 27 years now. My husband also has a best friend that he has known even longer and he is always here for us and we are always here for him. There are some connections that are worth making in life.

Friends just really come and go. But true friends will always be there even if you are old already. It also depends on the friends that you have. In my case, I have my friends since we were kids. Even if they may be physically absent because they have their own career or families already, but we still have constant communication and if see each other from time to time or occasionally. We are best friends forever. And not all the friends that you will encounter are users, but we cannot also avoid those. So we really have to be careful also in choosing our friends and know them more deeply first before trusting them. If you will be able to find true friends, you should not let them go, because they are like treasures who will be there for you always when you need them through thick and thin.

Having friends mean having a support system. There's a saying that's No man's an island. We cannot be alone. You need friends to support you and love you as well. It's true that there are people who have a different reason for making friends but that's their decision. Personally, friends make my life a bit more colorful.

Friends give us a way to connect. They can be a good listener if we need to vent. Of course, there are many different kinds of friends. There are internet friends, long distance friends and the friends you see every day and spend time with. Everyone has preferences as far as friends go. Maybe you just aren't picking the right friends. My best friend is a long distance friend. We email and im each other and call each other when we can.

I think you need to re-evaluate your views of the world. It's not that bad. Friends come and go. People age and change. Friends are important and probably more so during your teens and 20's, but then people marry, have kids of their own, get career and move on with their lives. It would be nice to have at least 6 friends at the end of one's life.

While it is true that more people come and go than those that come and stay, we certainly can learn a great deal from those that do come and go. I'm nearly fifty years old and I can remember a lot of people that left an impression in my life...both good and bad. I remember my first heartbreak, the first time I got drunk, great friends, and friends that I thought were great at the time. Most of those people have come and gone, but I learned how to assess friendships through experiences and learned that it is okay to care about someone and not have those feelings returned (in love and in friendship). We can all choose to believe that people are generally good or that people are generally bad...and I think the positive outlook is far more rewarding than a negative outlook. I do think that people become less selfish as they grow older and wiser...in general...I do think there are a number of people who refuse to grow up also! It's very strange how things work out, with the Internet I am now connecting with friends that I lost touch with over the past thirty years since I graduated High School...It's like life is coming full circle.

your comments are very valid, but its as good as sayingwhy live life when we know we're eventually gonna die? Friendship doesn't have a destination; everything has an end. It's about cherishing the journey which is the most important thing in life. It's about making memories that you'll carry with you forever. Memories are funny; they make you smile at the most random moments in your life... These are the reasons we need friends; not as a tool or making others tools, but making unforgettable memories... Friendship is the greatest thing that ever happened to anyone...

hi,before discusss this question,we must know what is friend and how to maintain the friendship,so we must know how to communicate with friends and learn some skills to communicate with friends.For example,if one of the closest friends haven't contacted you for many years,do you still remember him/her yet?And do you have to ask someone for help when you are in trouble? etc

well we have friend to have company, to have someone to talk to, it is not normal if we do not have one, as all people do have a friend even one.

I missed same my friend. I don't know why they are changing their way. So I leaved my friend for later to back associate with me.

the best thing in the life is to have a best friend as you shoulder

You want to be good friends, first you have yourself a good friend. Good friends here is, as I shall think of each person, but to me, whom I always have the side when everything collapsed in front of me are best friends. Friendship is a consideration if certain aspects are also taken advantage of. Everything's just the way you look for a problem only.

Your comments are very valid, but its as good as saying why live life when we know we're eventually gonna die? Friendship doesn't have a destination; everything has an end.. Its about cherishing the journey which is the most important thing in life... Its about making memories that you'll eventually carry with you your whole life.. Some memories make you smile when you think about them when you're going through life...Its those reasons why we have friends... not as a tool or making others tools... but making unforgettable memories that will live with you forever... Nothing lasts forever.. and if you understand that, you'll learn to live in the moment and enjoy life as it comes... Friendship is the greatest part of life...
