Why we make Friends?
Posted by Pramod on February 28, 2009
I have always asked many questions to myself about life… Some things which might seem obvious to eveyone… but I still have some questions…
Today my question is: Why do we make friends?
Why you guys, you readers make friends and how u choose your friends?
Can i have some answers please? Only then I would be able to continue my post. I count on you dear readers…

We choose our friends.. thats true. Many reasons for that…
Amount of time spent together often make two people friends..
or a specific “manner” or “aspect” of the personality of the latter please you..
thats y..

I make friends to share my free time, to have good jokes, to enjoy some moments of follies, to enjoy life at university…I normally do not share my very very personal feelings with my friends, I keep those to myself and make my inner soul talk to myself like a best and true friend would have done.
I choose my friends based on “type compatibility” — meaning personality traits, manners, ideas, ways of thinking should match…I would not go to the extent to say match perfectly, otherwise the friendship would be boring… but I do have a good group of friends… If Sun comes back here, or even Avish and Tushal, they might confirm that I’m always moving around with a group of people
I hope that this answers your question but it’s only my perception which is biased mostly by subjectivity.

Hello! It was a surprise to see your blog.
Nice to have a cousin blogging. capav checker souvent. 
About the blog post, well I think that friends are made by accident, or call it coincidence. You just realise you share lots of things in common with someone and then from conversations to conversations you end up being friends.
In my case that’s how I made most of my friends.

All my friends are made by accident too lol. I never infact go for a friend… life and nature decide who is my friend.
How I choose my friends? No real hard criteria… only if i find out that the friend has some “molecules” of hypocrisy or jealousy against me…then he/she is no more in my friend list without any warning… huh yea am a bit hard on this one as jealousy and hypocrisy is what I hate the most.
Why do we make friends? We have friends so that we are not alone and we can share things… one thing however..i rather have only 1 friend who really understand mem and who is a real friend rather than having 10000 friends who are friends jst for the sake of the word friends.
Awaiting your next post

From the part of Daks:
While making friends i dont think of any personal advantage. For me no reason, it just happens…
But i do share lots of things wid my buddies, they support me a lot and vice versa
I will give my answer on my next post at the end of this week…
More opinions/answers are welcome

4. Everything u do together becomes a memory

we make friends to share secrets that we normally don’t share with others.
friends normally understand things without saying.
some just to have blast,have fun.
some mayb as a first step towards love.
for me friend is a second self like me n nas(ma best friend)

I’m thinking of this myself tonight.
Do we need their votes…does it give us confidence to have many friends? I try to look for an explaination within myself. What do I need, crave from them…that i need to surround myself with people…fill my time with people. why is one person or two enough.
Theories:
-Well I do have commitment phobia. This in and of itself is not unique..many people do.
-I also learn from people though. I need that constant stream of people to feed what I already know about people and their individual thought…to be reminded of real feelings, thoughts and emotions that others go through.
-A part of me needs to be relied upon
-I like the variety…might be back to commitment phobia
-And I get joy out of bringing the happiness out of people…that they seem to reach new levels of around me.
But I have got to do a better job of leaving room for myself…not getting squished..cause that defeats the purpose of being free in that way…
that thing that makes me free, binding me.
And I

That’s a nice thought… And it’s not about having MANY friends… Just some true friends are enough to make ur life meaningful and beautiful
