Why Your Friends Matter

Written By Colēgia

Life is better with good people by your side, and your friends are one of the best examples of that. When it comes to all the different things in life, people are at the forefront of it. Our peers help us in many different ways and appreciating that is absolutely worth it. Today we want to talk about why our friends matter and how to find ways to give back to them.

A Support System

Having a support system can get you through some of the most challenging moments in life. While having the skills for solving things on your own is crucial, social skills and being able to make friends is a part of that. Taking the time to go out and meet people you get along with is good because it helps you closely connect with them. It can be something as simple as meeting each other from a shared interest or simply striking up a conversation with them. You never truly know who will be a lifelong friend until you get to know them and talk about things. A support system is incredibly helpful for your peace of mind since it shows that people care about you. Self-love can carry us far, but it's that sense of belonging that can really make us recognize that we truly matter.

Showing Them That You Care

Being able to trust someone takes time and effort to build. We need to let people know that we have their back and vice versa. The best way to do this is by working on your rapport with others. Being able to work on your communication skills by listening to them more is one way to do this. Everyone wants to feel important and the best way to do that is by asking them about things that they're genuinely passionate about. Our friends come from many different backgrounds and learning about who they are can give you a good means of getting to know them. Demonstrating kindness by helping them out when they need it, or simply being there for them can make a world of difference.

Why we Need Each Other

Being independent is something good to strive for but being able to work with others is equally as valuable. In many ways, we need others to make it through life since everyone plays their own role in who we become as a person. Our friends give us the courage and support needed to push forward with things when we have our doubts. They are there to give us advice on new things we haven't tried. They share with us their life experiences so we can learn from them. They are there for us during the good times so we have someone to laugh alongside us. They love us for who we are and help us work on ourselves too. We need people since they help us understand each other, and because it teaches us empathy which makes the world a better place.
