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.
