Best Friendship

Making best ever close friends and perhaps even more important is having a best friend, which can be a crucial factor in strengthening your self-esteem.

Feeling good about our self is more than just a phrase; It actually becomes an energy force for us. when our self-esteem is boosted, we become more optimistic, we treat people around us with kindness and yes we smile alot. And when we smile others smile back at us.This gives us a greatness feeling within us.


Its unfortunate that authentic friendships are harder to come by these days. Perhaps our time is too filled with one-minute-every-thing kind, like email, SMS'es,Chatting, call waiting....we are communicating through machines where empathy and emotion don't compute.How much ever the technology developed for getting people more closer being far aside physically, still machines are far behind in communicating the exact utter feelings beside what we expose or express through letters.

Indeed friendship has become the most neglected relationship of our busy and anxious times.

Good friendship don't just happen and they don't sail along on constant smooth waters either.Best friendship is said to be exists between us when there is an intimate relationship, in which we can be who we are (rather than what the other person wants and expects us to be) and allow the person to do the same.this means we can say what we think and feel in a relatively uncensored way, and we can share both our competence and our vulnerabilities without having to hide or exaggerate either ...... an intimate relationship enlarges rather than diminishes our sense of the world and ourselves.

It is this very sense of emotional intimacy that must be tha basis of a good friendship and the foundation of any relationship that may develop into a more permanent relationship.We may even call this most intimate relationship as platonic friendship, whether we call the other as Friend, a pal, a companion to share , buddy or whatever.

To enhance your friendship, feel comfortable with the other person.You may feel a a little vulnerable at first, you will actually. But as you open up and communicate honestly respecting one anthers opinions even though you may not agree with them and appreciating each others differences you will begin to relax and just enjoy the flow of friendship.
