Friendships are the things that can take time to develop, some take years. Others take months; it really depends on how alike you are as a person. When two people share similar interests they are capable of becoming good friends. These friendships are great for people and its nice when you have such friendships in your life, the good friendships turn into true friends when the friend is there for you through thick and thin. Through all your stuff ups, they support you encourage you and make you feel loved as a person.

In life unfortunately there are people who appear to be friends and do a runner as soon as life gets tough for you. You cannot find them, they have essentially disappeared. There is a song “That’s what friends are for” by Dionne Warwick, It’s a great song reminding me of true friendships, the thing that some of us are missing in life. Developing friendships is not easy for anyone unless they are able to become their true self, unless they feel that they can express themselves as a person. When they have to be the fake self or someone else happens to be pushing powerful negative emotions on them then the person is unable to become their true self.

The hard thing, some people do not realise that they are forcing their own negative foul mood on others through their anger. Unfortunately the stronger the emotion often wins out; when someone is angry they tend to project that emotion onto other people. They force their negative emotions onto others. It’s hard to maintain friendships when someone is pulling you down or projecting their negative emotions onto you. It’s not an easy thing at all. Some people do not realise that they are the ones whom are causing their own problems, what you need to do is find an environment filled with positive friends, who are true friends.

They will support you encourage you and make you feel wanted as a person. These people stand by you no matter what. These friends are the best friends; they are the ones who help you to become the person you were intended to become as a person. The true friends or people who will support you and encourage you through those rough times are the greatest people; they provide you encouragement when you need such. As I said friendships actually take time to build, sometimes you need to change. Other times there are many things that need to change before those supportive encouraging friends appear.

The thing is we all need these friends. Yet some of us push them away or are so negative that we hurt those who we love most. When in a bad environment we tend to not be able to even be our true selves. When in a good environment we create those supportive encouraging friendships and nurture them as a person. We become a better person, stronger and more helpful.
