We all want and need caring relationships with others. We are people with hearts who exchange energy. The better we are able to create and maintain relationships, the more social power we have. And not only that, It helps u to communicate and interact better with others. Sometimes we start out right in life and have cherished relationships that begin in our families. That is always the beginning chapter of our social network. Many of us learned early on the art of walking through life connected to people we love and who love us(our parents especially). However there are others who did not share the same category. The families may be under going alot of pain and difficulty- They could struggled with time, money, alcohol, crimes, jail term, abuse, abnormal behaviour etc. People from these families are often thrust into the world to figure relationships out for themselves. Sometimes friends weere the first people to teach us relationships and having a strong connection with others. When it happens, it could bring excitement, sharing, trust and possibility. It may be friends from high school, taekwando class, religious class or some social function etc which we may form bonds that could last many years, if not... a lifetime. These friendships often become inccreasingly important as we age. Then come the working life as an adult, our early living situations and another grp of people who become important to us as we meet up new people and widen the our network of friends. Whether it is the original family or high sch or uni friends that impact us the most, its the people we surround ourselves with that set the pace and determine how many close relationships we have.
