Solid friendships nourish our self-esteem and enhance us as persons by having other human beings with similar values who are there to positively interact and share who we are. A true friend is with you in both the good and bad times. It is easy to be a friend of those riding high in life. When suffering the lows that all human beings experience at times in their lives,that is when true friendship rises to the forefront. Sadly,that is where too many people find out their friendships are more situational than true and deep. True friends help us deal with physical illness,Depression,Anxiety,Substance Abuse,Anger,Relational Problems,Divorce,and any other matter that relates to human interaction. Persons without friends are often lonely,far more prone to suicide and having physical and emotional problems lasting longer than when they have friends who are sympathetic to them and give them emotional support. As Cicero said-“A true friend is another you.
