Some people prefer making a friend who have a similar personality to them while some people like having a relationship with a friend who are different from them. In my perspective, I think that it is better for us to have a friend who are analogous characteristic because in this condition, people can have more common time in the harmony with friends.
To begin with, as the old saying " a feather of birds flocks together", people are easy to mingle with a person with similar personality. Because people instinctively tend to meet similar people because then, they can make more harmonious relationship. For example, those who are quiet and inactive can not hang out with those who are active and boisterous just because they are different. Also, there would be an exceptional cases from it, but in my experience, those relationship were easily broken.
Secondly, they can have more advantages obtaining or sharing knowledges and experience. It must be a best merit for them to share and confess their story and knowledge. Generally, similar friends have a analogous hobbies and backgrounds, thus it helps make a bond or unity with each other. For example, they know each other's characteristic and tastes because they could have conversations over time, permitting their more active area which they can use. It is the best way that we can expect in relationship. However, unfortunately, relationship with those who are different from one can not anticipate these close connection, just allowing external relationship such as simple playing and meeting.
To sum up, I expect that when one make a friend who are similar to him or her, this relationship have more advantages in which they share ideas, experience and knowledges. Because, in relationship with similar people, they can open minds to other and understand individual situations. For these reasons, I believe that it is better to have a friend with similar hobbies and characteristic. |
