Some people might oppose to getting along with similar friends is much better than different friends. This is because having relations with friends who are totally different in personality can give a person a chance to experience many different types of emotion.
However, In my opinion, I strongly support an idea of having more friendly relations with similar friends can have more positive effect on people, because understanding each other and sharing common things.
Here are several reasons for this.
Firstly, respecting each other can build more cohesive friendship. A Korean research conducted by People Interactive Institution show that people tend to feel more comfortable and happy when they are with close friends. Almost all the people who responded to the interview tell us that "I usually meet my best friends at least twice a week." and " that helps me to relieve stress."
As we can see, friendly friends are an important factor in the changing world.
Respecting can not only help us to get through a hard time, but also give a person feelings like they are loved by someone else.
From my personal experience, when I went thorough a hard time worrying about my future, a friend of mine persistently gave me a good advice. Although I have many friends, there was only one who was trying to help me to alleviate that stress. Most of the friends just simply say "cheer up" or "everything is going to be okay". It was not help, rather a hindrance. But my best friend tell me that you should talk with your parents and teachers. They can give you an idea of solving this problem. He tells me what is my merits and demerits. Thus, I began to realize what is my priority. Owing to my friend's tips, I finally overcome the pressure.
Secondly, We can be more interactive each other by sharing friend's interest in common. Some people can enjoy doing the sports activities, Others can play either computer game or anything they want. For example, once I have two friends when I was young. One has many things in common that related to me, whereas another has nothing. I usually associated with the former. We unconsciously tend to lean toward a friend who has much things in common.
For these reasons, mingling with similar friends offers more great deal of advantage that different ones. |
