The Psychological Principles of Friendship and How They Influence Change
Friendship is influenced by four key factors: proximity, similarity, familiarity, and reciprocity. Proximity refers to physical closeness, while similarity encompasses shared interests and experiences. Familiarity involves the depth of the connection, and reciprocity ensures mutual give-and-take. Changes in these factors often lead to shifts in friendships. Maintaining at least two of these conditions is crucial for a friendship to survive. When shared experiences and regular contact diminish, or when reciprocity fades, the friendship may falter. Remember, these changes are common and you are not alone in navigating them.
