FRIEND ZONE Friendship is an extraordinary unique type of a feeling which is different from just love. friendship goes beyond just sharing time together and it is long lasting. It can be overwhelming making new companions, but it worth it in out well being These days, a lot of people have the mindset of doing more for dating than keeping friends. They tend to discard you if you are not in a relationship with them. You must date everyone that comes your way. it is okay to keep more of friends than sexual relationship. The true fact is that there are some kind of individual you need not to date just to get close to them. However, we feel that getting close to individuals especially your opposite sex tends to be for the sake of dating. Friendship goes far beyond any other relationship apart from family. We tend to build a new breed in ourselves other than that of the ones we make from our family and environment. So setting friendship is important for an overall well being. It is not so much about how many friends you have, but how valued they are. In other words, setting a hierarchy of friends helps you identify what to achieve and how to set goals in regarding friendship. You can categorize your friends into: [x]CLOSE FRIENDS : Those that you cherish time with, confide in, have a positive influence on you and brings out the best in you. [x]FAMILY FRIENDS ; Friends from family or relationships that you enjoy spending time with but not necessarily confide in. [x]ACQUAINTANCES ; They may be your collegues, classmates, neighbours, or schoolmates . You like them and sometimes meet them outside the usual place of acquaintance but don't normally spend lot of quality time with them. Using this as a starting point, helps you to balance your friend zone with people so as to learn how to manage friendship more than any other relationship. Having all this in mind, we tend to know how much and how well we could keep both our intimate relationship and that of our friends. #onlinecounselling #writinginspiration #Tlc
