here are many reasons that people become friends. Friends are usually close in
Tage. They come from similar families. They share interests and hobbies. Maybe
they watch sports together or talk about art. One interesting inuence
on friendship is a psychological effect called reciprocity. This just means
that when someone likes you, you will probably like them, too.
Popularity and attractiveness can also be inuences. People like to
be friends with popular, attractive people. Sharing secret information
about yourself (at an appropriate moment) also increases friendship.
It shows trust and honesty.
The biggest inuence on friendship, though, is much simpler: location.
People become friends with the people they see every day, at work
or at school. Staying friends with people over long distances is a lot
more work.
