As society develops, there is an ongoing argument regarding that which friends are better: who are similar or who are different. People from different walks of life take different stances on this issue. Some argue that they prefer friends who are similar to them, while others prefer the opposite. Personally, I agree with former idea because friends who are similar to me can easily understand my situations and feeling and their preferences are matching with mine.
Firstly, it is evident that friends who have characteristic like me can understand my stands and feelings because they think the way I think. To be more specific, if I’m in trouble, they can solve my problem simply, while they emphasize my feeling and find the way I can handle. From my experience, when I was a high school student, I met many new friends in my class. At first, it was easy for me to say my stories to them. However, only three months later, I realized that some friends could not understand my feelings and my stories since they were not similar to me. Otherwise, other friends who are the same type as me could easily understand my thinking and emotions. Therefore, I not only became more confident about them but also preferred to make friends like me.
Secondly, it is a well-known fact that it is great to do everything with others who resemble me. This is because similar people have similar preferences, so they feel the same emotions and the same thinking when they meet new situations like traveling in other countries. What I mean is that people who have similar taste love the same songs, animals or even country. Therefore, it is easy for them to find a place which they want to go or food which they want to eat without confliction. In addition, according to a survey, over 90% people responded that if they have to do something with their friends, they would have chosen the friends who resemble them, while they not only can easily find the way they go, but also they make decisions without big troubles. Overall, as I mentioned above, I prefer friends who are similar to me. The reason for this is that they can understand my situations and my emotions easily and they have the same preferences as me.
