There are a lot of important things in life. However, one of the most important things for people to survive in this world is friendship. Without friendship, people can die of loneliness. What do you think about your friends? Do you like your friends? There are a lot of different types of friends. There are friends that I like and some friends with whom I do not get along. Friends with positive characteristics such as reliable, trustworthy and faithful whom I usually get along with are the one that tend to have more friends and the negative one whom I usually not get along with tend to be alone. However, friends with negative characteristic can also give us some good examples of seeing double sides of something, like, a character can be good and bad at the same time. More details and examples are given in further paragraph.
I have a lot of friends that have negative characteristics that fall into different categories. There is an overconfident friend, a competitive friend, indecisive friend, selfish friend and of course the unreliable friend. Let’s talk about it one by one.
The first one is an overconfident friend. Being overconfident makes them look arrogant. They will think that they are the best among all the other students. If they get lower scores than other people, they will be angry. Overconfidence may lead to a competitive characteristic, as they always want to be the best among the others. I don’t really get along with a competitive friend. They are so competitive that if I get better scores than them, they will try to find my mistakes to make my scores lower.

Those are the types of friends I do not get a long with and some advantages that we can learn from them. In certain circumstances, friends with negative characteristics can be advantageous. We can take and learn some beneficial things from their characteristics .We can take the positive things from them and not only the negative things. To summarize, nobody’s perfect and I will make friend with people I can get along with. However, I also will not take ones I can’t get along with as my enemies, as I realize that I also have some negative traits. I will always try to be positive thinker, which is; I will always try to see people’s positive sides rather than negative ones.

Friendship. A feeling that is valued by almost everyone in the world. But friendship can be “deadly.” Not in the sense that it can kill a person – maybe it can – but in the sense that it is a very fragile piece of the lives of those who live on Earth. Friendship can be an amazing piece of one’s life, or it can be one the worst aspects of life. When one makes a friend, a true friend, it allows that friend to learn a lot about that person. This could be a good entity, only if that friend is a friend that is not going to betray that individual. However, the bad side of friendship comes with a brutal price to pay. If a friend were to “backstab” that person, and reveal all of their secrets. This is one of the worst things that could ever happen

In Friendship - The Least Necessary Love they make a valid point, which states, “Do you see the same truth? would be "I see nothing and I don 't care about the truth; I only want a Friend," no Friendship can arise—though Affection of course may. There would be nothing for the Friendship to be about; and Friendship must be about something, even if it were only an enthusiasm for dominoes or white mice. Those who have nothing can share nothing; those who are going nowhere can have no fellow-travelers.” The second difficult which is attitude comes into play when distrust happens. Distrust in friendships happens when individuals become isolated. They begin to notice that they don’t share the same similarities between each other and they start to break off into groups. C.S. Lewis says, “There is the attitude of the majority towards all circles of close Friends. Every name they give such a circle is more or less derogatory. It is at best a "set"; lucky if not a coterie, a "gang," a "little senate," or a "mutual admiration society." Those who in their own lives know only Affection, Companionship and Eros, suspect Friends to be "stuck-up prigs who think themselves too good for us." Of course this is the voice of Envy. But Envy always brings the truest charge, or the charge nearest to the truth, that she can think up; it hurts more. This charge, therefore, will have
When making friends, you must choose the right ones by observing the person's qualities and how they behave. If the person behaves in a bad way, further away this person may lead you down the wrong path and get you into a lot of trouble. Incommensurate, If the person behaves in a good way, then they may be a good friend to have and lead you down the right path.

The last friendship type, complete friendship is the rarest of friendships because it involves good persons who have similar morals and virtues. Aristotle defines complete friendship as “friendship of good people similar in virtue.” (122; sc 10) and this type of friendship endures a very long time. They seek friends for the friends themselves and not for any useful means as they are blessed to have no need for usefulness. No one wants to be around someone who is unpleasant so it is only natural these people seek those who are pleasant as this is a good foundation for

On a conscious level, we rarely spend much time actually thinking about and classifying our friends. However, since I was a small child, my mother taught me to recognize and appreciate various types of friends. I have discovered that there are three different types of friends. I group them according to how well I know them and how well they know me. We encounter each type of friend everyday, whether in school, home, or at the gym. First, there are the "pest friends"- general acquaintances. Next, there are "guest friends"- social partners. Lastly, we have "best friends"- our true friends.
A good friend may not have all these traits. If someone is a gossip, you shouldn't get too close with him or her. If they are known for betrayal and being dishonest you should think about it and probably take one step away from them. According to the site “Being Friends,” friends should listen to each other, not put each other down to hurt one another, understand each others feelings, disagree without hurting each other, and be dependable and trustworthy. When finding friends you should look out for the good and the bad. See which traits are most important to you and make sure your friends have more good than bad traits. This will create compatible friends for you who hopefully remain with you for a lifetime!
