▶ Your Answer : I have some trustful friends since i was in a high school about 10 years. Therefore, I had memorable days with my old friends. However, there might be some people who believe that making many new friends easily is more important than maintaining friendships with a small number of people over a long period time for happiness. I personally disagree with the above claim with two subsequent reasons.
To begin with, people become more stressed when they make a relationship with others. People should take care of their behaviors or mentions to others and should be polite to create new bond with others. Watching out for every action make people tired and stressed. Consequently, this stress affects negatively people’s happiness. Let me bring my personal experience for an example. When I attended english academy when i was 15, I went to the middle class in the academy with 25 students. Because there was anyone who I met or saw before, I was too shy to make friends easily. Eventually, this situation came to me like a big problem. One day I even cried for an hour in front of other students.
On top of that, people can tell their true concerns to only a few friends for a long time. If the relationship is not long enough, a person probably hides their worry to seem like strong person. In front of the friends with sticky relationship, people can talk about their real problems and worries of themselves. Sharing those thoughts not only makes the bond closer, but also improves their life quality. According to the survey done by KFS institute from South Korea, almost 80 percent of people answered “yes” for the questionary that they can feel better when sharing their difficulties with reliable friends. Moreover, people added that It is hard to tell their drawbacks with friends they meet recently.
In conclusion, people could become more stressed from meeting new people to make new friends and share their cares with only friends for a long time. In this regard, i strongly believe that make a strong relationship with a small number of friends for a long time is more positive than meeting new people. |
