Money, career, reputation, achievements\u2014that\u2019s all well and good! But who do we share it with? Right, with friends. Let\u2019s be honest with ourselves: Do we need all that if we have real friends? I should think not. The only thing that really counts are friends, and the greatest happiness doesn\u2019t matter at all if you can\u2019t share it with your neighbors, loved ones, and favorite people. What may seem like empty phrases hold a lot of truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Overhead<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The value of real friends is immense and goes far beyond the limits of your own happiness. Our friends want things to go well for us. And we want things to go well for our friends. We are willing to make compromises and put our own needs, demands, and desires last. Basically, this fact confirms the above assertion that prestige or status symbols are not absolutely necessary if you have friends in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple, with friends you\u2019re also a friend.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s often asked whether humans are lone wolves or herd animals. Actually, neither of the two extremes are right, because we are really something in between: a group animal. We have about three really good friends in our lives: The people to whom we almost completely open ourselves, who know us and our weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

They are joined by relationships that we can call average friendships. These are the people with whom we celebrate our birthday, go out for an after-work drink, or help with the move…albeit with a grumble. With these people, we share beautiful memories and have an incredible amount of fun, just like with our close, inner circle. With the negative experiences, heartaches, and hardships, the wheat divides the chaff, so to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Two<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The other \u201cfriends\u201d are then only acquaintances, and, after all, in 2019, we must consider that the still wider circle would then probably be fans, followers, and Facebook friends. It remains to be said that friendship is an equation. If someone is our friend, then we are also someone\u2019s friend. That\u2019s a simple and nice thought, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Friends<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An equation with lots of variables<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well, we all had math lessons at school at which some were better, and some were worse. Now, to say that some people are better or worse at „being friends“ would be an assertion that we can hardly generalize. But what we can say is that everyone defines friendship and its limits differently. So it happens that some of us quickly find new friends, whereas others take a little longer and find it more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Young<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some have a really thick membrane to their friendship, and some are just friends with many people and share without building big hurdles. Then there is the time or attention that some require in a friendship. On the other hand, there are free-spirited characters who, even after a year without contact, can value friendship in the same way and seamlessly build on it. In one point, however, all friendships are the same: They arise between two people who are sympathetic to each other, by their own choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Friends<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Friendship: The best medicine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Strong and stable friendships foster our well-being. Nothing makes people happier than intact social relationships. We grow from the little twigs that friendships sometimes stick in the spokes, because, let\u2019s be honest, even the best social networks aren\u2019t always rosy. Nevertheless, they spare us from degenerating stress levels or even mental suffering. A good friendship can simultaneously ground us and catapult us euphorically into space. When we have someone by our side to share our worries and fears, then one by one we\u2019ll cast those worries and fears aside\u2014which certainly has a positive effect on our life expectancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Westend61, we always attach great importance to friendly interaction with our photographers, our customers, and, of course, our team. If life gives you a bit of a pinch, then we prescribe a dose of friendship. For how this looks, there is our perfectly matching Lightbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
