parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most cases, they tell their friends how

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more
humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to interpersonal relationships. In this sense, the term
connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. Friends will welcome each
other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be similar and may
converge and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour, such
as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate
reciprocating and reflective behaviours.
Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm
them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis: the
tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situations where it
may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's
counterpart mutual understanding.
In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association,
although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. The study of friendship
is included in sociology, anthropology, philosophy and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been
proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics
and attachment styles.
