Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans. 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 the 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 acquaintanceships. Friendship and acquaintanceship can be thought of spanning across the same continuum.

This is a very difficult question to answer, Scooter. Friendship varies. The nature of my friendship with my wife is different from my friendship with my brother or from my friendship with co-workers. The common thread is the willingness to do for someone else. It might be enjoying a sporting event together and it might be spending hours listening and trying to help work out a problem. It is a lot harder than "friending" someone on Facebook.

A good friend accepts you for who you are and is there in joy and in times of sorrow. You can share your most intimate thoughts and secrets and not be judged. A friend is someone you can trust,who is there for you all the time and who cares for you...a best friend is the one who can understand you very well....
