Would you agree with it? Do friends could really change the way we live our lives? Well as of me, I do agree that friends could really change our lives. What makes me think so? Perhaps you would be asking that, but you just can't simply change my thoughts. Let's say friends could make your life better or worse depending on how they treat you or how you handle them and treat them. Perhaps it would be like a boomerang effect, what you do to others will all come back at you.


One reason why I have this in mind is because of the lesson I've learned in the past few years when I have this friend of mine. At  first, I never thought we'd became friends since I'm the type of person who usually gets his mouth shut unless one dares to talk with me. Not that I'm not something to be scared of, just that I'm of a quiet person. Then came that friend, talk with and approach me. Til then that day, we became friends, and I've noticed a lot of changes upon me. I became friendly, a bit talkative (LOL) and I've developed a sense of confidence around me. Therefore that's why I could say that friends really could change our lives.

But it also depends upon which type of friend you have. So be careful in choosing one, if you do want your life to be as ideal as mine.

Can we really live without friends? Would life still be easy even if you are living alone? Well, we can still live without them, but on the other hand, it might not be easy though. As life without friends is like living on an island with no one in sight except a vast stretch of sand and of course, yourself. Life without friends is rather boring and uninteresting. Therefore it would be wise if we look for a friend to be with us in our life.

What is life without friends? Empty right? Well, it definitely is. Who could afford to live without friends anyway? Walking alone, watching the movies alone, doing things alone worst, talking alone. Perhaps the latter could seem quite absurd as you might see it. But what's life without friends anyway?

During some time of our lives, it would be necessary to look for a true friend whom we could trust and share our thoughts with. Making good friends around you is of a lot importance in your life. But, making your friendship last a lifetime is somewhat difficult to deal with and a lot of efforts should be needed to maintain it. When you want to pick true friends, it is significant to find for people who can be trusted and deserving to be called as “true friends”.

It has been a usual knowledge that friendship is known to greatly enhances one's own sense of happiness and health as well. Though there have been a lot of studies being made that supports the thought that a strong friendship could greatly affect a person's view of life for happiness and his prolonged living. While on the other hand, loneliness and deprivation has been known to cause sickness and could make a person more vulnerable unto sickness and infections as well as death. Even friendship has been called as "behavioral vaccine" by some which could protect one's own physical and mental health as well.

The main reason for this connection between friendship and health is still unknown to everyone. Though there have been lots of potential studies about it, experts still don't know the main reason for this linkage. Well here are some of the presumed connection between friendship and health:

a. A good friend could ensue his friend to live a healthy and positive lifestyle.

b. A good friend persuades his friend to seek for help when in need.

c. A good friend enhances his friend's capability to deal with different types of sickness and illness.

d. A good friend influences physiological patterns that are defensive of his own health.

Well, now I guess we can have an overview about the interconnection on friendship and health as well. Being with friends and hanging along with them, doing things together and laughing along with them could greatly enhance your health and develop a sound mind.

When you want someone to be your friend, perhaps the first to you should do would be knowing him, right? You just won't simply go on having him as a friend unless you know his attitude, his character, his life and anything about him. And these ones are essential for you to get a one good friend. Perhaps looking for a true friend would be somehow difficult to do. Since there have been a lot of pretentious ones around, you should take caution on whom should you pick as one. In choosing a good friend, you must know whether or not this friend has got some good quality in him. A good friend could somehow possess these traits:

Honest and Trustworthy
--Its typically hard to trust these days. And trust is one such thing that builds a friendship. A good friend would be honest and never tell lies on you. Perhaps they may not tell you the truth all the time, but they do try their best to make you feel why they shouldn't.

Thoughtful and Caring
--A good friend would always care for you and be there for you. Although they have their own ways of letting you feel it and you might not notice it at all. No good friend would simply ignore you and go on the world on his own.

Loyal and Supportive
--Loyalty is one such way wherein a good friend shows that he is worth of being keep as a friend. Despite the distance, he would always find ways to talk with you and get in touch with you.Once a friend, always remains a friend.

Learns to Accept you for Who you Are
--Acceptance is something that would be of a major thing in friendship. If a friend accepts you for who and what you are then that would be definitely good. Acceptance simply goes hand in hand with understanding. But at least, try to be worth of accepting.

These are just some of the ways to help you choose the right friend for you. I hope this one helps. Good luck and have a nice day !
