Friendship is an in-depth relationship. It’s the combination of trust, support, communication, loyality, understanding, empathy, and intimacy. It’s the basis of every intimate relationship. People with no friends normally have lost their capacity for sustaining deeper relationship. Being able to trust and relax with your friend is an important part of your friendship.

In most cases, the transition from acquaintance to friendship occurs gradually. The transition from stranger to acquaintance to friends begins with content and attention. We reach out to offer friendship by offering a potential friend caring, listening, talking, sharing, accepting, and affirming. It takes time and effort to build friendship. They are built slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly … yet, nothing can add more to your life than having truly intimate friends.
There are some ways to build friendship ; one important step is to treat your friends the way you want to be treated. Keeping secrets that are told to you is vital as well as telling her the truth. Paying attention is very important part of any relationship. Look at and focus on another person when he talks to you. It shows that you are ‘there for her/him’. Keeping your promise and not forgetting to apologize if you break it. Last but not least, share things and taking turns can be a mutual way to maintain your friendship.
