2. FRIENDSHIP

3. DEFINITION OF
FRIENDSHIP
is a relationship of mutual affection between two
or more people.
Friendship is a stronger form of interpersonal
bond than an association

4. TYPE OF FRIENDS

5. THE BEST FRIEND
 The gold standard of friendships.
 A best friend listens but never judges, helps you out of a
jam, tells it to you straight, and often forgives a debt.
 Best friends resemble invisible friends in that both are most
common in childhood (and may not really exist).

6. THE OLD FRIEND
 Ideally, a lifelong bond that stirs fond feelings and
cherished memories—unless you’re a celebrity or
out on parole.
In reality, most old friendships are embedded in a
complex economy of favors.

7. THE OLDER FRIEND
Two varieties:
Someone your senior who mentors you with wit
and wisdom
The client of an escort service

8. THE NEW FRIEND
 a person who can do no wrong until you’ve had a few more
outings together.
 New friends are more likely to enjoy your stories and show up on
time.
 It’s also easier to be who you are with a new friend, as opposed to
who you were—which is what you end up being most of the time
with your old friends

9. THE WILD FRIEND
 : The friend whose bad behavior never ceases to entertainand may
at times inspire you, for better or for worse.
 Though wild friends get a bad rap, they save as many lives as they
ruin.
 Boring people—writers, for instance—desperately need wild
friends.

10. THE SCARY FRIEND
 Someone who never fails to nudge you out of your comfort
zone—way out.
 Scary does not mean quirky.
 If a friend likes to spend his weekends re-enacting Civil War
battles in period dress, that’s quirky.
 If he shows up at your door in uniform late on a weeknight, that’s
scary.

11. THE BOSS FRIEND
 A person higher on the org chart who thinks your brittle smile and
the startled look in your eye is an invitation to further terrorize you
outside the workplace.
 One reason golf is popular in the business world is that it gives
underlings a way to pal around with their superiors.

12. THE TRAIN OR BUS FRIEND
A person who apparently shares your
unquenchable interest in the weather and the
fortunes of the local ball team.

13. THE CONFIDANT
 Someone who wheedles more out of you than you planned to
share.
 Sadly, many confidants are also talented gossips who will soon be
bartering your deepest secrets for someone else’s.

14. THE SINGLE-MODIFIER
FRIEND
 Any companion you proudly describe.
 You can train yourself out of the habit by slowly adding modifiers,
as in "my neat gay friend"

15. THE E-MAIL FRIEND
 A digital update on the kind of letter-writing friendships that
thrived in the era between the invention of ink and the arrival of
cable.

16. THE SPECIAL-INTEREST
FRIEND
 Group friendships form around a shared passion—for soccer,
French cooking, sky-diving.
 Special-interest friends often go by nicknames, usually be-cause
they don’t know real names or anything else about each other be-yond
their common interest.

17. THE ROAD-TRIP FRIEND:
 Romantic notions aside, a good road buddy can read a map, is
willing to bathe, and has a credit card and a driver’s license—
preferably in the same name.

18. SPECIAL CASES
 The Secondhand Friend
 The Dormant Friend
 The Friend-You-Only-Drink-With Friend
 The Treatment Friend
 The Friend with Benefits

19. FRIENDS MUST HAVE
 THE FRIEND WHO'S COOLER THAN YOU
 THE FRIEND WHO IS UP FOR ANYTHING
 THE FRIEND WHO YOU ASPIRE TO BE
 THE FRIEND WHO DOESN’T KNOW ANY OF YOUR
OTHER FRIENDS
 THE FRIEND WHO'S PAINFULLY HONEST
 THE FRIEND YOU’VE KNOWN LONGER THAN YOU’VE
KNOWN YOURSELF

20. WHY?

21. THE FRIEND WHO'S
COOLER THAN YOU
 The world changes quickly and some people are just that little bit
better at keeping up with what's hip than we are. We like to be around
these people, because they're a beacon of cool.
 These are the people who help you to open your eyes, have a
flow-on effect for introducing you to other cool people and help to
unstick yourself from the rut that's all too easy to get bogged in.

22. THE FRIEND WHO IS UP
FOR ANYTHING
 People are busy, we get it. But there's nothing more frustrating
than having to reschedule your re-re-re-scheduled catch-up. Everyone
needs a friend who you can call at the drop of a hat. A friend who
says "hell yeah, I'm up for that". That's why it's good to have a mate
who you don't need to issue a 28-day notice to just to meet for

23. THE FRIEND WHO YOU
ASPIRE TO BE
 These people challenge you to be the best version of yourself. The
only downside is that sometimes they can be infuriating and inspiring
in equal measure.
 They will see the best in you and give you important feedback on
both your strengths and weaknesses.

24. THE FRIEND WHO DOESNT
KNOW ANY OF YOUR OTHER
FRIENDS
 There are times when you need to make an S.O.S call to a friend
who is completely uninvolved and removed from a situation who can
offer objective advice so it a bonus that your friendship exists without
orbiting around your other ones.
 There is a level of privacy to this friendship that doesn't exist in
friendship circles and easier to share some of your hopes and dreams,
fears and concerns knowing that they are not going to be discussed
when you're not around.

25. THE FRIEND WHO'S
PAINFULLY HONEST
 An honest friend will not always tell you what you want to
hear, but they'll certainly tell you what you need to know like if
he/she is really that into you.
 When you've got a crisis on your hands or need to make a quick
decision they are your go-to. They're also there to keep you away from
mixing paisleys and stripes.

26. THE FRIEND YOU’VE KNOWN
LONGER THAN YOU’VE KNOWN
YOURSELF
 This is that friend who sees you out of the context of your
job, your relationship, your other friends and your life as it is now.
 There is something special about this person because they feel like
home. It's nice and comforting to be around someone who has
known you forever.
 They know you better than you know yourself and accept you
unconditionally

27. MAKING FRIENDS
Three most important factor:
 proximity, which means being near enough to see each other or do
things together
 repeatedly encountering the person informally and without making
special plans to see each other
 opportunities to share ideas and personal feelings with each other

28. WHY FRIENDSHIP ENDING
 friends move away from each other and are forced to move on due
to the distance
 divorce causes an end to friendships, as people drop one or both
of the divorcing people
 At a younger age friendships may end as a result of acceptance
into new social groups

29. FRIENDSHIP AND HEALTH
 Conventional wisdom suggests that good friendships enhance an
individual's sense of happiness and overall well-being
 Conversely, loneliness and a lack of social supports have been
linked to an increased risk of heart disease, viral infections, and
cancer, as well as higher mortality rates overall.
 Friendship networks a "behavioral vaccine" that boosts both
physical and mental health

30. FRIENDSHIP QUALITY
 friendship has two dimensions: quality and conflict
 High quality friendships have good ways of resolving conflict,
ultimately leading to stronger and healthier relationships.
 Good friendship has been called "life enhancing" Engaging in
activities with friends intensifies pleasure and happiness.
 Quality friendships lead an individual to feel more comfortable
with his or her personal identity.

31. FRIENDSHIP IN ANIMALS
 Friendship is also found among animals of higher
intelligence, such as higher mammals and some birds. Cross-species
friendships are common between humans and domestic animals.
 Cross-species friendships may also occur between two non-
human animals, such as dogs and cats.

32. CONCLUSION
 To sum up, it is good to have fun with friends. But it will be much
better when you have fun with people who you love and you believe
that they will not leave you no matter what. You can learn more
knowledge and improve your life through the friends' help.
