what does friendship mean?

Answer 1

Well, I have been friends with my buddy Jacob for about 11 years now and I mainly attribute the longevity of the friendship to the fact that we, like any relationship "yes friends are a relationship" try and maintain some order and make an effort on both our parts to hang out and do stuff. The fact that we have much in common helps that too. It means so very much to me that he is around anytime I need anything. Sometimes my girlfriend just can't relate so its good to have someone who is of the the same sex to help you through certain problems. He would even take a bullet for me. Something I would do in a heart beat for him too. This is something we don't even have to say. Thats the greatest thing about a close friendship. The unspoken understanding that you can share anything with them and not feel embarassed. Its comfort.

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more social entities. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:

-the tendency to desire what is best for each other.
-sympathy and empathy.
-honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth.
-mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than acquaintanceship, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and acquaintances. For many people, friendship and acquaintanceship lie along the same continuum.

The principal disciplines studying friendship are sociology, anthropology and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles...

Answer 5

A ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul!!

The sea was calm and the sky was blue;
Merrily, merrily sailed we two.
(High barometer maketh glad.)
On the tipsy ship, with a dreadful shout,
The tempest descended and we fell out.
(O the walking is nasty bad!)
