Top 10 Reasons We Need Friends

 

Life can feel lonely without friends. They are the one relationship we make on our own when we go out into the world. Some friendships last for a long time. Some last for a short while. 

But still, the friends we make along the way leave a lasting impression on you and leave you with cherished memories.

Life can seem so much more when you have good friendships.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons you must make friends.

1) Someone to be yourself with

There are times in our life when we cannot be honest with the people around us. These could be people we have to call family or people we work with.

But friends are those who you can totally he honest with. Regardless of your mood, your friend will stick by you and understand you.

2) Someone to have fun with

Who else can you have with? Not everyone may have your tastes or sense of adventure. But your friend is someone who has similar likes and dislikes. That's why you became friends in the first place, right?

They may even share your kind of sense of humor which makes pranking even more fun.

3) Someone to have for support

A bad day can seem bearable if you have a good friend to lean on. Your best friend is bound to be there for you no matter what time it is. A good friend will make you a priority and genuinely be there for you.

4) Someone to seek advice from

Many of us may be living away from family and not be able to call on them for advice. Or perhaps you don't feel comfortable discussing everything with them.

Friends are someone who will understand us and those who can use their life experiences to guide us through our problems.

5) Someone to have as a confidant

You may share a very close relationship with your family but there may still be some things you cannot share with them.

Those things may be personal to you and something you feel can only be shared with someone who is in your age group and may have experienced the same situation.

A friend is someone who can become your confidant and keep all your secrets safe with them.

6) Someone to celebrate special occasions with

It's your birthday and a good friend can make that day extra special! Or perhaps it's a day when you got a promotion or made other advancements in your career. Perhaps it's the birth of your baby or something else that brings you happiness.

Your friend will help make that day even more joyous.

7) Someone to stand up for you.

At times we may feel that the whole world is against us. We may be getting berated or maybe we had a random passersby provoke us. 

Doesn't it feel good to have someone support you? To stand up for you and take your side? 

At that moment, you no longer feel alone and know that someone has your back.

8) Someone to drag to your favorite movies and events

You want to watch a movie that stars your favorite actor or actress but you also want to go with someone just so you can pass comments on the storyline. 

A friend is someone you can just drag to the movies and not feel bad about not giving them a choice .

Or perhaps you want to try out the new restaurant that has just opened and you want some company.

A friend is someone you can feel like you have the right to take them along with you.

9) Someone who will listen to you.

Sometimes it may feel like you are being pushed to the background or that no one respects your opinion.

A friend is someone who will take the time out to listen to you and respect your opinions rather than disregard them.

10) Someone to tell you when you are wrong

Okay, so none of us are perfect. We may think that we are the most worldly, experienced and cleverest of all. Or we may believe that every decision we make is the best of all.

However, that may not necessarily be true and it helps to have someone to be honest with us and tell us when we are wrong. 

A friend will always be looking out for you and never sway you in the wrong direction that may harm your life in anyway.
