Friendship

Hey everyone! This is my first post so here it goes:

Friendship plays a major role in your life. Friends are important people, after all when you have a job and you are all settled, when you look back and think about your school days, you think about all your friendships. The crazy Friday nights that you had with your friends and all the times you used to hang out with them, come to think of it they are probably the only reason we got through school! There are many types of friendships. We are covering:

1) real friends 2) fake friends 3) toxic friends

Real friends. What are they? They are the people who got your back no matter what. No matter how many friends they have, if they make time for you they are a keeper. here is a story about finding real friends:- let's call the main character ‘Sandra’ and let's name her three friends, ‘Emily’ ‘Chloe’ and ‘Hannah’-

Sandra went to a new grade and she got separated from all her old friends and she had one relatively new friend Emily but Emily had Hannah and Chloe with her. Sandra was really upset and she really wanted her old friends back, this atmosphere was super new for her. She somehow managed to sit next to Emily but she always felt left out because Emily, Hannah, and Chloe were so close. Emily always included Sandra but she still felt left out with Hannah and Chloe. Then one day Sandra, Emily, Chloe, and Hannah just clicked. They developed this unspoken bond and little did they know that they would remain friends forever. The credit goes to Emily, she always made Sandra feel happy and soon she grew to find her friend group. Sandra's friend group is very supportive and they always have her backs those are real friends.

Fake friends. They are people who use you to get what they want. Those people are really dangerous sometimes you end up getting hurt really badly. Most commonly these friends use you to get into the group who everyone likes and they leave you behind in the process. Sometimes these friends use you to get to your own friends and leave you. This situation usually ends in loneliness or you having a hard time making friends. The best advice I can offer for avoiding fake friends is five signs:

1) they are not really interested in what you say

2) they never really want to hang out with you in school

3) they always talk about themselves

4) they always have other plans when you ask them to hangout

5) they only talk about their problems

that’s my best advice but it is essential that you steer clear of these people because they will leave you hurting

toxic friends are super dangerous and it is very important you know the difference a friendship and toxic friendship. Here is one example. If you have a friend who you go to school with and they are in the same class as you but you literally only know them through text, that’s a toxic friendship. another example is a friend who would rather hang out with people who have more friends with you and they keep breaking your heart over it but they run back for an apology as soon as they lose acceptance from those people, that is the worst type of friendship.

In conclusion, you must have a friendship you are happy with, not because you feel obliged to have it and one important factor is that you must not feel scared to break off a friendship otherwise it will impact your mental health negatively.
