In the hall of Friendships

There are three kinds of friendships: friendship of utility; exist between you and someone who is useful to you in some way, friendships of pleasure; exist between you and those whose company you enjoy, friendships of the good; are based on mutual respect and admiration. There are four steps for coping with changing friendships: one; give it some time, two; try to see the situation from a different point of view, three; talk about how you are feeling, four; be open to meeting new people. The most significant factors in ending a friendship were discovered to be, broadly, selfishness, being more likely to end friendships with those who looked after their own interest, were not supportive of them, were dishonest, and were taking without giving, among the prime reasons. There are those featured in the series the ghost of Lovers' past, on one side of the coin, and on the other side; those featured in the hall of the changing of friendships.

One person is a loner; two people are company; three people is a party: start with the friendship triangle. It's called an equilateral triangle: the base is positivity, and two sides of the triangle are consistency and vulnerability. Friendships change because people change (and that is ok).
