Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted, we often don' t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number ofpeople, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationship, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interestvary greatly. At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. Aswe get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position,and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on withpeople when there is a marked difference in age and background.
We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends willstand closer together and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give thewrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrongfacial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood asunfriendliness.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for closefriends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common they often talkabout "being on the same wavelength" (志趣相投).

friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoyinghabits and to tolerate differences of opinion.

But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.
