How to Form Lasting Friendship
Friends are an integral part of life and a source of confidence and strength. Good friends are a blessing as they help and support us through the best and worst of times. They are our confidants and give the comfort we need in troubled moments of life. The presence of friends also adds fun and enthusiasm to life.
Forming lasting friends is not easy as friends tend to separate from each other due to change of place, for employment, due to marriage, for better prospects etc. The contact may decline due to distance, lack of time or initiative, or due to differences that may crop later on in life.
The best way to make any relationship last is that you must keep all lines of communication open. Letting go is indeed very easy; it does take serious intention and effort to make anything last. Relationships like friendship also need to be maintained so that it remains strong and infallible.
Wherever you are, keep communicating with each other. Communication has become really easily with the availability of online chatting facility, email, blogging, orkuting etc. Take the initiative to call up or chat even though the friend may be tied up or busy with something. Don’t make it into a game of who calls whom first, who needs who more etc.
Sharing life makes the relationship indispensable. If you are not sharing, if there is no give and take, if there are no discussions about each other’s life, the relationship looks irrelevant and does not create a feeling of togetherness and companionship.
Friendship needs selflessness. There shouldn’t be space for ego battles in the relationship. Friends must not hold grudge if one of them hasn’t called up for a long time, declined to meet at an appointed time for some reason, or couldn’t stand up to a commitment.
The relationship shouldn’t be strictly need based. Friendships that are need based tend to end when the need has been fulfilled. Don’t have materialistic expectations if you intend to form lasting friendship. The relationship should be more based on emotional compatibility, appreciation of each other as an individual, maturity and respect for each other.
