Making and Keeping friends

------

In the offline world I'm not the guy that often goes around looking for friends, I mostly just keep to myself and relate with everyone politely and as I should, oftentimes some get closer to me, we start talking and before I know it we're friends. It's rarely ever a one day thing with me, most times it just happens as a result of constant contact with the same person over and over again. Then small talk starts and we get to know each other. 


I tend to have a small circle of friends most times because of this approach but my friendships tend to last and strong bonds are often formed. Not because we're doing anything special or anything, but just because we are all trying to make things work. Helping each other along the way.

I'll be speaking from my perspective (of course) the things I do that makes my friendships last. Rest assured my friends do the same or else it wouldn't be a friendship at all. 


![RNFetchBlobTmp_n38sr6mwsvcmmpq6v4om6i.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/b0s/23xB1Qv5bDBKikqiaiUcfQtaV6mbBnVYbZhJDdQZihpL3Aia58kuMfk19qGgp5TZRu8ro.jpg)

### **Help**

Friends help each other. Anytime my friends need help they always reach out, and I'm always available. Even when I am unable to provide the support they need, I provide Ideas and suggestions as well as moral support. We tackle problems together and it makes things so much easier for all of us. 



![RNFetchBlobTmp_n38sr6mwsvcmmpq6v4om6i.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/b0s/23xB1Qv5bDBKikqiaiUcfQtaV6mbBnVYbZhJDdQZihpL3Aia58kuMfk19qGgp5TZRu8ro.jpg)

### **Listen**

Most people want to be heard. When people share their feelings it is therapeutic for them. They like it when there's someone listening to what they say. I like to know, to listen, I'm a very good listener so I have no problem with that.  We listen to each other and we don't share with anyone else. Sharing secrets, thoughts, anything, it's beautiful and it strengthens the bond. 


![RNFetchBlobTmp_n38sr6mwsvcmmpq6v4om6i.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/b0s/23xB1Qv5bDBKikqiaiUcfQtaV6mbBnVYbZhJDdQZihpL3Aia58kuMfk19qGgp5TZRu8ro.jpg)

### **Communicate**

While people like to be heard they also like communication. Talk to them as well. I struggle with this from time to time though. I don't like to share what's on my mind, and at times I feel like I'll be a burden or a vibe killer, but after being called out by one of my friends I've been putting in conscious effort to be more open. And It turns out being more open has actually strengthened some of my friendships and maybe even made me a more interesting guy. 



![RNFetchBlobTmp_n38sr6mwsvcmmpq6v4om6i.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/b0s/23xB1Qv5bDBKikqiaiUcfQtaV6mbBnVYbZhJDdQZihpL3Aia58kuMfk19qGgp5TZRu8ro.jpg)


### **Share**

Sharing is caring. We share information, we exchange gifts, we share ideas, memes, thoughts, and the list goes on. When we share things it brings a sense of togetherness. Anything can be shared. 



![RNFetchBlobTmp_n38sr6mwsvcmmpq6v4om6i.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/b0s/23xB1Qv5bDBKikqiaiUcfQtaV6mbBnVYbZhJDdQZihpL3Aia58kuMfk19qGgp5TZRu8ro.jpg)

There are a lot more dynamics that come into play in my friendships, these are just the ones I can say from the top of my head. Having good friends is a very important aspect of life, without them life just gets so much harder. 


With time friends become good friends, good friends become great friends and great friends become family. 

<sub>(Hope that made sense. Trying to sound all wise and motivational for the end, lol)</sub>

It takes more than a day to establish a genuine friendship and the building process never ends till we exit this world.

I believe friendship is a symbiotic relationship, we all depend on another for it to stand. In a situation where the load is left for just one person, the relationship will crumble.

Having friends is one thing, maintaining them is another. There are a lot of prices to pay inorder to sustain our friendships but no matter how much those prices may be, I believe they are worth it when it comes to a good friend.

I think friendship happens automatically and we don't need to do anything manually in this case. Most of the time those become our friends with whom our personality match in most cases. isn't it?

The friends I keep, like actual friends, are down anytime to do their jobs as friends. Helping ourselves is very important and quite normal. It doesn't have to be financial, but being there, sharing ideas, being thoughtful, looking out for one another, it all goes a long way.

It seems to me that you and I are alike in some ways. Sharing our hearts is usually a problem. But we're learning to do better, and that's what matters.
