I have been struggling to make friends from the new people I've been meeting and so I thought I would come on here for discussion. I want to define two terms: friends (those who you can talk to about anything, emotional and personal issues), and buddies/acquaintances (those who you can simply hang out and have fun with, but are usually boring besides that) I have only ever had buddies, no friends. Although I do think that "buddyship" can be important in a void of friends because at least you're having fun with your time. My motivation for asking this question was this: I had been thinking about the issue of romantic relationships when I suddenly imagined getting a new girlfriend where everything would be going good for a little while, then one day she would say to me "You should introduce me to your friends."; after which I would say I don't have friends, and I pondered what the reaction would be. I then thought about the importance of friendship which led me to start this topic. So answer this: Is friendship important? If so, why? ALSO, is it important to have friends before getting into a romantic relationship? Does it have any bearing on your "being happy with yourself" (aka your personal well-being and satisfaction with yourself)?
