There are people who have many friends, and there are lonely people.
Let's listen to A. Barto's poem "A Friend Needed."
Everyone lives, they don’t grieve,
But not with me are friends!
Katya has a painted bow,
Red tights
And the character is meek.
I whisper: - Be friends with me---
We're the same age
We're almost like sisters
You and I are like doves
From one shell.
I whisper:- Notes keep in mind:
You have to go in everything
To make concessions to a friend.
I suggest Ilyina;
You be friends with me alone!
Ilyina has a rank,
And a sports sweater
And a retinue of girls.
I'll make friends with Ilyina -
I'll become famous!
All fives one at a time
At Svetlova Nadya's.
I ask: - Are you with me make friends for a day!
You and I will get along:
Will you save me -
Let me write off the test.
And the girls are on their hind legs!
They say: - I would be silent!
Don't get on your knees to persuade your friends...
I'll write an ad:
Friend urgently needed!
Why did the girl have no friends?
Sample answers from children: the girl had no friends, because she wanted a lot from others, but she herself did not give anything in return.
Many people do not want to understand that they have no friends, because they themselves are not ready to become a true friend, they demand a lot from a friend, giving nothing in return.

Definition of Friendship
Friendship is multifaceted, so give precise definition the concept is not easy. Philosophers, psychologists, sociologists interpret it in their own way. The main definitions of the term are as follows:
- Friendship is a relationship between people based on help, trust, common views and values.
- If we consider it as an alliance based on affection, common interests, joint leisure, trust and selfless help, then this will be a complete definition expressing what real friendship.
Camaraderie and friendship
The concepts of camaraderie and friendship are similar, they are often confused. What is the difference between companionship and friendship?
Partnership is understood as communication based on common interests and support. Often it becomes the basis of friendship. The main thing that distinguishes one type of communication from another is the degree of trust. Friends trust each other and are ready to share their most secret things. Comrades unite common interests and goals.
An example would be students in the same group who are united by the desire to successfully pass a session, or colleagues working on the same project. Their interaction takes place within the walls of a university or office.
Comrades do not share personal experiences, do not pour out their souls to each other.
True friends are united not only by common goals, they are connected by some kind of spiritual kinship.
What is true friendship based on?
They often say about true friendship - “do not spill water”. What lies at its core? In psychology, the following components of friendship are distinguished:
- union and affection;
- common values, joint or similar plans, goals;
- altruism;
- confidence;
- lack of competition.
Union and affection
Union means long term relationship based on joint problem solving, mutual joy for the success of another.
Affection or the need for communication is one of the main criteria for friendship.
It is important to understand the difference between attachment and codependency ( emotional dependence). In the case of codependent relationships, we cannot talk about friendship.
If you want to share everything with this person - both joys and sorrows, without receiving depreciation or envy in return, then this is a true friend.
True friends do not manipulate, they are sincere and do not belittle each other's successes. If a so-called friend has Negative influence, dissuades from any endeavors, then he is not one.
Common values, joint plans
To understand what true friendship is, it is necessary to consider one more criterion - common values, goals and plans.
People with similar views on life find it easier to find mutual language. It doesn’t matter what unites you: a love of sports or computer games, the desire to know your inner world or earn a million, the main thing is that common values and interests unite on a spiritual level.
A criterion such as joint plans and goals, follows from the previous one.
It is easier for people with the same worldview to make joint plans and move towards similar goals. They become support and support for each other.
Often different plans they alienate friends in life, turning them into friends or good acquaintances.
Altruism and trust
The answer to the question: “What is true friendship based on?” - will be: “On altruism.” Without selfless help and a certain amount of self-sacrifice, there can be no true friendship. After all, they help a friend not for the sake of profit, but at the behest of the soul. True friends are always ready to help without demanding gratitude.
They share their most intimate thoughts and experiences with a true friend, receiving support in return, without fear of condemnation. On this confidential communication true friendship is built.
Lack of competition
Lack of competition is the basis of true friendship. Devoted friends do not envy and do not strive to “outdo” each other. Your friend will rejoice at your success. The achievements of one motivate the other without causing rejection. True friendship is a unique field for personal growth.
How do you know if a friendship is real?
There comes a moment in every person’s life when he reconsiders his views on the world and the people around him. Faced with problems and not finding understanding and support, a person wonders if he has friends? How to understand what kind of friendship is real, where is mutually beneficial communication?
- Friends accept you for who you are, with your flaws and strengths. They may not agree with you on everything, but they will never infringe on your individuality. A friend will always help you find something good in a difficult situation.
- True friends are nearby both in sorrow and in joy. They will not turn away if you fall from the pedestal, they will not envy your success. It is sincere joy in achievements and support in difficult times that determine true friendship.
- It is comfortable to be with a true friend; with him you are not afraid that personal secrets will become public knowledge.
- Friends don't slander each other behind each other's backs. They tell the truth face to face, even if it is unpleasant. A friend will not put pressure on you or constantly remind you of your mistakes.
- A true friend is interested in you as a person.
- A true friend does not limit your freedom or try to control communication. You always have something to remember, something to laugh at, something to keep silent about.
The answer to the question: “What is true friendship?” - there will be: communication in which you can be yourself, without fear of condemnation, always counting on support.
Why is friendship needed?
Friends are a reliable support, support in difficult times, people with whom it is pleasant to share joy. Life without them would be lonely and gray.
Does true friendship need arguments in its favor?
More likely no than yes. Still, it’s worth citing a few.
According to psychologists, a person can achieve success in various fields life thanks to several criteria: 20% falls on personal experience and knowledge, type of thinking, and 80% - environment. True friends do not pull down, they strive for development.
For example, a young man decided to quit smoking, a true friend will never offer him a cigarette, will not smoke in front of him, will accept his choice and support him.
A person who has a true friend will never be lonely. His immune system is stronger and he is less susceptible to depression and neurosis.
Examples of friendship
In history, examples of true friendship are the relationship between Pushkin and Pushchin. The friendship that began between the lyceum students lasted a lifetime, despite various vicissitudes of fate.
The friendly relations of Anna German and Anna Kachalina (music editor of the Melodiya studio) helped the Polish singer gain popularity in the Soviet Union.
Among Hollywood stars many examples strong friendship, here are some of them.
The friendship between Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey began while working together on the film “Dallas Buyers Club,” which brought the friends well-deserved Oscar statuettes.
Another stellar example of true friendship is Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. Their friendship has lasted for 25 years. The actors can be seen together at basketball or football games.
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are an example of how friendship makes work. Their joint film works are always successful, and their friendship lasts for many years.
In Russian cinema, an example of true friendship is the relationship between Konstantin Khabensky and Mikhail Porechenkov, which began in their student years.
But friendship exists not only among people, but also among our smaller brothers. An example is amazing story two dogs - basset hound Fubi and retriever Tili. When Fubi fell into the well, his friend stayed by his side, and it was thanks to this that the volunteers were able to find the animals.
Examples of friendship in literature
Friendship is the basis of many novels, stories, and plays.
Below are examples of true friendship from literature that will not leave readers indifferent.
The most striking and dramatic example of friendly relations is Remarque’s novel “Three Comrades.” The story is about three friends (Robert Lokamp, Otto Kester, Gottfried Lenz) who went through the war and survived during the difficult years for Germany. Friends are together in joy and sorrow, and even death cannot destroy their friendship.
The main characters of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings - Frodo and Sam - are an excellent example of friendly mutual assistance when true friend stays by your side until the very end.
“The Tale of Friendship and Non-Friendship” by the Strugatskys is an example of how one can go through any tests for the sake of a friend.
Dumas and his “Three Musketeers” tell the story of friendship, honor and nobility, which are not afraid of years.
"The Little Prince" by Saint-Exupéry in simple words talks about love and friendship. And the relationship between Fox and The Little Prince captivates with its simplicity and touchingness.
True friendship is priceless, it is what makes a person happy. It is for the sake of friends and loved ones that a person is capable of much.
Do you remember there were times when a person’s happiness did not depend on whether he took good selfies? The social concept of happiness, in addition to “cute nearby” and Have a nice work, not so long ago included having a friend. The one with whom you “pull to the mountains, take risks”, with whom for some reason you need to eat a pound of salt, who is preferable to a hundred rubles and with whom it is simply fun to walk together. Today, the concept of friendship has somehow blurred - go figure who is your friend and who is just a friend.

Friends since childhood
How do we choose our friends and do we choose them? Lenka and I studied at the institute together, and Galya and I went to school together. It seems that fate itself is in the face class teacher brought us together, seating us on the last desk. It’s not surprising that we know most of our friends from those distant times when our braids were long and cell phones were huge.
Sociologist and anthropologist Igor Semenovich Kon, in an essay about friendship, explains why exactly at at a young age friendly experiences are the most significant: the consciousness of an adult is more objective, less egocentric, therefore “the need for a psychological mirror is reduced.” In addition, the problems that concern a mature person are much more complex; they cannot be solved by a simple discussion on the topic “I, too, cry when I fall in love.”
Another reason is that the world of an adult is more multifaceted than the environment of a 20-year-old girl who is a fan of the show “The Bachelor.” Therefore, with age, it is more difficult for people to find someone who will be in tune in all respects. If School friend is suitable for any occasion, then the friends made later are differentiated: with one - on a tourist trip, with another - to discuss work, with a third - to complain about heartburn.
Reasons for friendship
In general, it’s interesting to think about what made you be friends with this particular person. Not only the fact that you are having lunch in the dining room at the same time. In psychology, it is believed that friends are attracted to certain qualities that, say, you have in abundance, and for her just standing with such a monument to cheerfulness is already pleasant.
Hence the various modifications of female friendship. Count how many expressed selves you have (for example, I am sincere, I am sparkling, I am a bulletproof tank, I am a kind mother) - there can be so many girlfriends. And vice versa, by analyzing what exactly attracted you to this or that confidante, you will be able to determine your current internal needs. (Plus we suggest taking the “Who Am I” test.)
Psychologist Alexey Petsh confusedly noted here that we are not friends with everyone, but only with those on whom we project ourselves. So the similarity factor (“Yeah, she also has size 41 feet”) can bring together people who initially did not plan to go to the country together.
“Friendship is more likely to be successful with a person with whom there is something in common (gender, age, social status, interests), says psychologist Elena Livach, but at the same time different temperaments (extrovert-introvert) and the same values, ethical principles. It is important that a potential friend has normal self-esteem and a willingness to talk openly about his feelings.”
Friends categories
One of our most important needs - for emotional contact - is associated with our mother. The wasted years fly by, but the need for a mother remains. If you fall to your friend, pouring out all the tears in the world on her and counting on unconditional support, you subconsciously load the person with such belongings that he is probably not happy to carry. What we mean is that both sides should have the opportunity to “cry, trust and open up”; in an honest relationship, everyone gets the opportunity to step out of the role of the elder and sit with their feet on the table.
Igor Kon listed the angles of friendship that will help you better understand why you need a friend.
- Friend and comrade. You and she share a boss, a common hobby, or at least the same interest in embroidery. Standing shoulder to shoulder in front of a joint problem, an enemy tank or corporate party, you feel how unity gives you strength, especially if you can shift part of the work onto a friend.
- Friend is a mirror. A person who has the unenviable role of reflecting your rays and promoting self-knowledge. You may well ask such a friend: “Do yellow leggings suit me? Was it worth killing the old pawnbroker?”
- Compassionate friend. She works like a vest, empathizes, even if she is woken up at 3 am. Here we realize the already mentioned longing for mom, who will always pat you on the head and pour compote.
- Friend-interlocutor. With such a friend, it is not customary to simply remain silent, although you understand each other perfectly. Communication here serves self-disclosure and communication. Heated discussions, painful doubts and revision of values are the main motive of your meetings.
- Alter ego friend. Connection implies the likening of another to oneself or also a very uncomfortable self-dissolution in another. This type of unification is typical of childhood relationships: both girls put on the same dresses and decided to always remain faithful to the ideals of the pioneers.
In a normal friendship, the above-mentioned facets are mixed, appearing from time to time on one side or the other. But if there is only one role in your repertoire, this is a beacon: peek-a-boo, it looks like there are problems.
Wrong girlfriend
If you take friendship into your fist and look closely, you will notice that it resembles an ethical form of love; it means that you are preferred to others; it is based on the fact that two are equal, have equal dignity and independence. There is a vault unwritten rules, like these: maintain intimacy, volunteer to help in case of problems, share news and important information, to protect a friend in the presence of third parties...
It’s kind of stupid to list them, they are so obvious and at the same time sublime. It is characteristic that even romantic relationship do not require such an impressive set of qualities from us, such as a combination of sincerity, dedication and honesty. Therefore, friendship can serve as a powerful microscope for self-knowledge.
We ostracize those who violate the code of friendly behavior or simply write to them bad word in SMS. Psychologist Elena Livach points a finger at signs of a wrong girlfriend.
- Egocentrism and narcissism a person when it simply doesn’t fit into his head that the other person also has needs. Equal and friendly relations with such a person are impossible. He always makes it clear, either explicitly or implicitly, that he is important, but you are not. (“Narcissism: Recognize and Act.”)
- Low self-esteem, which encourages a person to hide feelings and not define their interests. As a result, sooner or later he accumulates grievances, and he breaks off the relationship or begins to unconsciously take revenge.
- A person who is used to building relationships by playing roles, described by psychologist Karpman: “victim”, “persecutor”, “savior”. Depending on the situation and personal benefits, one and the same human actor can take on a hypostasis that is more convenient for him today and change roles with those around him during the game-communication.
This is not friendship
Here are some more tips on how to spot a fake friendship copy.
- If a friend shows up only in difficult times and disappears as soon as you feel on top. Works in reverse side– if she likes the way you tell jokes, but during your seasonal blues she seems to lose her phone, the relationship can hardly be called friendly. How are you going to get through the fire, copper pipes and sales season together?
- She doesn't keep your secrets. Yesterday you trustingly told her your Terrible Secret, and today all your colleagues found out about it from the corporate newsletter? Hmm... Normal friendship includes such components as trust and loyalty in the recipe.
- She criticizes you behind your back. If these are constructive comments, why not voice them in person? And if they just wash your bones, from these hygiene procedures it makes sense to stay away.
- She criticizes you to your face, but all the time. “Who else will tell the truth? Only best friend“, they will object to us. The problem is that when the flow of truth hurts the eyes, the friendship runs the risk of becoming toxic. This is a popular psychology concept that means draining energy, lack of support. It’s not hard to tell if your relationship is on the gas. Answer this question honestly: do you feel stressed after drinking tea together? Yeah, well, you see!
- She is extremely careless with your things and time: she asked for money and “forgot” to give it, she has never arrived on time, etc., etc.
Benefits of Friendship
The idea of female friendship, pure as a tear, is essentially ruined by only one suspicion: rivalry. A competitive race can result in streams of jealousy, envy, and anger. On the one hand, psychologists talk about greater fusion, greater support and solidarity between young ladies, on the other hand, perhaps this is why it is so difficult for us to verbalize many problems.
When Masha suddenly achieved success, having received the role of the mistress of a dangerous bandit in the series, her never-spill-water-friend Yulia became bored, moved away and began to walk around with the look of a person who accidentally swallowed raw potatoes.
Does this mean that there was an unstable friendship between them? It turns out not. " The feeling of rivalry among friends is normal, say British psychotherapists Susie Orbach and Louise Eichenbaum, “it works against merging, is designed to help a woman self-identify, fight for the right to be herself.” There is another meaning to an offensive feeling - it signals to us the need for attention, for discussing and articulating our desires and sorrows. Why does Yulia suffer from a feeling of inferiority? Is it Masha’s fault, or are there other difficulties?
The feeling of rivalry in men is expressed differently than in Masha and Yulia. This is because women seek their identity through connections with others: we support, we collaborate, we empathize, we serve. Unlike, say, gentlemen, who make friends in a fundamentally different way. Since childhood, feminine couples have been more closed off from outsiders than groups of boys, where anyone who can break a window with a stone is allowed in. Growing up from playing house, girls acquire a special style of communication - aimed at reducing psychological distance and establishing closeness with a friend. “I also once had a flood in my bathroom!” - we nod to our upset friend, as if saying that we have similar problems, and peace should reign on earth.
In a word, female friendship among all other possible ones is the most intimate, emotional and reflective. Out of desperation, men have to rely on solidarity, mutual assistance and discussion of football events. That is why our female method- in any unpleasant situation, seek support, advice and the healing phrase “Well, he ate goats!” – helps us to be less vulnerable to the effects of stress and generally live on average longer than men. And from an evolutionary point of view, this is a more profitable tactic for caring for offspring than the method invented by men - drinking and riding a motorcycle.
So it’s high time to remind girls all over the world that being friends is interesting and healthy. Of course, in this relationship, as in any other, a considerable amount of willpower and the ability to talk openly are also required. But our reward will be the incomparable pleasure of discussing, on occasion, the lace panties we bought and the characteristics of our new lover.
Friendship between a man and a woman
IN pure form Friendship between a man and a woman is as common as purple unicorns, psychologists say. In addition to the main problem of such relationships - the possible sexual desire one of his companions to another - the problem of social misunderstanding is added to the difficulties (explain to your boyfriend why you are going to the cinema today not with him, but with your friend Petya, or to your grandmother - why your friend Volodya does not want to marry you, although you flew together to Gagra).
And the gentlemen themselves are not very inclined to be “friends.” Men's gloss too often stated: “If you are signed up as a friend, this is a defeat. Leave the battlefield." The youthful experience, when it is difficult to tell a girl about your feelings, but it is easy to be a friend and solve problems for her in the night, leaves a painful mark. Many men perceive attempts at non-romantic relationships as the onslaught of another “dynamic woman” who asks a lot but gives little.
Every person on his life's path wants and strives to find happiness. And everyone puts their own understanding into this word. But probably no one will argue that one of the important components of happiness is friendship. True, true friendship, like real love, the phenomenon is quite rare. And a quote from Marlene Dietrich even says that friendship unites people much more powerfully than love.
Trust, patience and reciprocity are what truly friendly relationships are based on. And quotes about friendship will prove this to you.
In friendship you have to learn to be human. And although no one is immune from mistakes, the main thing is to be able to notice them in yourself.
Everyone wants to see as their friend a faithful and sincere, spiritually rich and comprehensive developed person. And for this you need to be like that yourself. The ancient Greek poet Euripides, who is so fond of quoting, formulated even before our era: “Tell me who your friend is, and I will tell you who you are.”
Of course, this doesn't always work. To quote the French philosopher Paul Valéry: “Do not judge a man by his friends. Judas’s were perfect.” But I want to believe that this is still an exception to the rule.
Friendship is such a great feeling that great people often talked about it. Poets, writers and philosophers have often addressed this topic. That's why there are so many wise quotes and aphorisms about friendship.

Every schoolchild should write an essay about friendship. This is one of the simplest tasks that can be assigned to a student. However, even this can cause some difficulties in writing. To make working on an essay on this topic as simple as possible, it is worth giving several relevant examples.
About the structure
An essay on friendship, like any other essay, is structured in accordance with a three-part form. It includes an introduction, main body and conclusion. The second part is the middle of the work, and it should be the largest in volume. In general, the introduction and conclusion should be as brief as possible. They usually occupy 30% of the entire text. The main task of the introduction is to familiarize the reader with the topic and bring him up to date. The main idea will be revealed in the content. And the conclusion usually sums up everything previously said.
By the way, it is best to draw up a preliminary thesis plan. Break it down into several points and write several in each keywords that will help you navigate. Looking at them, the student will remember what else he wanted to write about in his essay. This way you won’t miss a single important thought.
Introduction
An essay about friendship can be started in different ways. A good option would be the following paragraph: “The word friendship comes up very often in the lives of each of us. Sometimes we say it without even thinking. What meaning does it actually carry? Who can we really call our friend? What qualities should this person have? And can there be several friends? Each of us has asked these questions at least once. And you should know the answer to them.”
This kind of introduction is really considered good. Firstly, it poses several questions at once, which makes the author’s task easier. He doesn't have to think about what to write next in the main part. You just need to give answers to the questions you pose yourself. Secondly, this introduction immediately makes it clear to the reader what will be discussed next, which is also important.
Main part
An essay about friendship must contain statements and evidence. This work teaches students to reason. And this process is usually accompanied by attempts to prove the correctness of one’s opinion. Keeping this principle in mind, you can begin the main part as follows: “Without friendship, life can hardly be called complete. Yes, we can make acquaintances, friends, comrades. But each of us needs a friend. After all, this is the person who can always support you in difficult times. Someone close, who you can trust, and it will be mutual. Anyone for whom your problems will not seem empty will perceive them as their own. With a friend you can not only have fun, have fun and spend time interestingly. You can still tell him about the most secret things, ask for help, advice, and count on understanding. A friend becomes a person whom each of us calls soul mate. Because it really is. Then, later long years close communication, it’s even strange to remember that moment of acquaintance when both were still strangers.”
In this character, you can write an essay “What is friendship?” Writing provides freedom for creativity and thought. You can choose any topic. This could be an essay on the topic “Friendship of Peoples,” for example. No one forbids a student to write about his own experience. The main thing is that the text has meaning and reflects the topic.
Conclusion
This part should be as short and succinct as the introduction. It might look like this: “Friendship is sacred. Everyone who has close person, this will confirm. We all need a friend. After all, this is the person you can trust. And real happiness lies in the fact that everyone has someone with whom they want to share their innermost and secret. With whom you can be yourself. And to know that you are accepted and loved this way.”
This could be the ending. In principle, there are various other options for concluding an essay on this topic. The main thing is that after reading it there is no feeling of incompleteness.
