I believe in companionship. It’s the feeling that you have someone, and they have you, in any and all pursuits. It’s the idea that you’re stronger with another person, more capable, and more resilient. It’s knowing that you aren’t by yourself in this world. Companionship is true friendship that goes a step beyond; it encompasses ideas of brotherhood and togetherness that the word “friendship” just doesn’t express. Companionship can develop between people fighting the same battles, suffering from the same ailments, physical or otherwise, or even between people who have nobody else, for something as simple as this can serve as common ground for the basis of companionship. This is how I met my best friend, one of the truest companions I have …show more content…
In times like these, emotions like fear and anxiety can wash you away like an enormous tidal wave, and having a true companion serves as a solid rock to keep you grounded. A time like this came in my life when my father passed away. I felt more scared and confused and alone than I ever had before in my life. I felt as if I was the only one who understood how I felt, and there no point in talking to anyone about it because I felt that nobody could comprehend my grief. That was until I realized that my brothers were going through the exact same thing. They felt alone, they felt like nobody would understand, and they felt like it was only them who felt overwhelmed by these emotions. I realized that I could talk to them, and it was as if they were a second voice in my head, the same thoughts of confusion, fear, and loneliness that were eating me up inside were affecting them too. This deep empathetical connection, the shared understanding we had, was more than just friendship. It was more than sharing common interests or going to the same school, this was on a deeper level. The bond that we had together made me strong, it kept me going through the darkest times, and it is a prime example of what companionship truly
There are a lot of synonyms for the word best friend. Some of the many include soulmate, companion, ride-or-die, sister/brother, husband/wife, and that does not even begin to cover it. The term is so broad with a vague definition, but has a strong meaning to almost everyone. Most people that are asked have someone they consider to be their best friend in some form, either a friend or a spouse. Often times these two people have gone through so much with each other, the good and the bad. These people are so important to everyday life because they help to reach important needs, they help people to discover themselves, and they help to maintain healthy aging.
We will always be caught up with pleasing others, but we do not realize companionship is not the key to being happy. The novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the essay The Box Man by Barbara Ascher, and the Beautiful and Cruel vignette written by Sandra Cisnero can all relate to the importance of companionship. The meaning of companionship is a feeling of fellowship or friendship. The importance can be understood in various ways. For instance companionship can be whether or not you need a companion to feel happy. A person can be so content, yet choose to be alone while others feel the need to be crowded around by many people; however, the importance shows more of how a person deals with the idea of being alone.
Man needs companionship and has difficulty maintaining it because no humans think the exact same or have the exact same beliefs. To maintain a companion you must have things in common, you must be able to disagree with a sort of respectful understanding, and finally you must care legitimately about that person. These three requirements to preserve a companionship are at times arduous to keep true. Some people do not have the time, concern, or the ability to sustain a veritable friendship with a companion or companions.
In short, there are several different factors to consider in love and relationship. We now know that it all begins with all factors of attraction. We build bonds from these factors which can eventually turn into love and relationships. It doesn’t hurt to genuinely show care and concern for a stranger because that stranger could one day become a friend.
Naturally, human beings are social beings and cannot live without friends. Friendship is an essential part of the structure of human existence. Today’s people are seeking and participating in relationships because they believe that it is good to have friends so as to experience pleasure, to be honored, to be healthy, and to prosper in life. Even in the inferior kind of friendships, people cooperate for the common advantage or pleasure. Irrespective of qualifications, career, personal perspectives, cultural differences, and interests, all people seek for love and acknowledgement from others (Curzer, 2012). This means that at a particular time, every individual will seek for a friendship, whether based on utility, pleasure, or even virtuous
...rspectives and opportunities. It is friendship that has the power to keep a person close to home. And it is friendship that gives a person the support to leave their home.
Being in a relationship, we build particular kind of feelings, which are based on trust, friendship and true love. However, a relationship can give us many feelings which we can’t get from friends or family. A good offers you all the wonderful things of friendship, but with a special closeness and intimacy. A good relationship will teach you to work as a team, and hopefully both people being to...
Someone told me that everybody has a Soulmate and that you’ll rarely end up together. I was told most people see their soulmate at least once in their lifetime. I’ve always wondered if it’s true. Do soulmates exist? If so do you ever meet them or are they just another person you’ll never encounter? Some say they have actually married their soulmates. I like to believe that if there is someone out there who could be identified as your “Soulmate” that when you meet them it's a warm feeling, a feeling that it feels like all the loneliness goes away.
Individuals involved in romantic relationships often send messages to one another with the intent to convey honest information about their romantic partner. Literature on this topic has already been published, but researcher Shuangyue Zhang found gaps and unanswered questions in this previously conducted research that he wanted to resolve. In 2009, Zhang began researching the hurtful, but honest messages that are sent and received in romantic relationships with two overlapping goals in mind. He wanted to uncover the “motivations and relational consequences of honest, but hurtful evaluated messages,” while simultaneously investigating “the relational satisfaction, sex of the respondent and message types” (Zhang, 2009). With his purpose in place, Zhang developed a hypothesis for his research that stated, “Recipients will interpret honest, but hurtful messages more negatively than will senders” (Zhang 2009). The subjects of Zhang’s study, 515 undergraduate students (32.4% male and 77.6% female) from Midwestern University, were given one of two different questionnaires, “one sender questionnaire and one receiver questionnaire,” and asked to “reconstruct a conversation” that they took part in that involved an honest, but hurtful evaluative message (Zhang, 2009). Participants were then given a scale and asked to rate the hurtfulness, emotional pain and alleged honesty of the message that they recoded (Zhang, 2009). At the conclusion of the study, Zhang measured and assessed the honesty motives, perceived intent and relational ramifications of the messages (Zhang, 2009). The study effectively conducted by Shuangyue Zhang in 2009 not only yielded findings in support of the hypothesis, but also revealed other findings. These other findings...
Most beautiful kindred of all of humans are the companionship. Without excitement, confusion, tangles and commitment life becomes a cake-walk if people have a hand of a friend to hold on. Can everyone imagine if there is no friendship in the world? Nobody will care about one another. Friends are the pillars of strength that give support and comfort in life "A hedge between keeps friendship green”. Friendship is the one of the medium that can build unity among community. As Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of United States, once said, “Friendship is the only cement that will hold the world together”, I strongly agree to his statement because friendship teach to help one another, learn to accept each other and build trust and faith towards each other.
“Relationships are what make up our world today, they shape the ways we see things and the way that we do things, relationships affect how we see the world today”. I believe supporting what your partner does, having a great sum of trust and showing your affections towards your partner is what will make a healthy relationship great.
Friendship is the most wonderful relationship that anyone can have. Ideally a friend is a person who offers love and respect and will never leave or betray us. Friends can tell harsh truths when they must be told. There are four different types of friends: True friends, Convenient friends, Special interest friends, and historical friends. To have friendship is to have comfort. In times of crisis and depression, a friend is there to calm us and to help lift up our spirits.
Throughout most of my life I have gained friendships and relationships with others that have turned into long term, but others which only lasted a short while. The friendship that has greatly impacted my life significantly over the last eight years is someone who means so much to me. This meaningful friendship all started back when I was in middle school, which has grown stronger over the years. I met Brooke in middle school because we had some of the same classes and were in homeroom together. Our friendship developed quickly and lasted throughout our high school years. We became really close our Junior and Senior year of high school. But, maintaining our friendship hasn’t always been so easy. Today, we text and call each other on our free time, but I know I can count and rely on her when I need someone to talk too. I call her my second sister and vice versa. And when we go home on breaks we see one another as much as we can. The best part of our relationship is that if one is in need of advice or in need of a shoulder to cry on, we are always there for one another. Keeping in contact is very important in our relationship and communication has played a key role in our relationship.
There are many differences between friends and family, such as whether the relationship will change, what kind of relationships they have and if they live together or not. Each parts show the essential differences between them.
Relationships are intricately complex. Made up of several interactions that are full of verbal and non-verbal communication, a relationship between any two people is completely and utterly unique. There are so many dynamics that are at play in relationships and several opportunities for both good and bad communication. In my life, I have experienced all kinds of people and relationships: friends, acquaintances, brothers, parents, teammates, lab-partners, peers, teachers, mentors. The list goes on and on. Three examples of my personal relationships are my relationship with my brother Caleb, my friend Kennedy, and my high school teacher Mrs. Antwine. In all three relationships, we communicate verbally and non-verbally. However, because of different circumstances, atmospheres, and backgrounds, each relationship differs from the others.
