We all want to have happy and fulfilling relationships with other people.  Some of us are able to do this naturally and easily, while others find it a struggle to create lasting relationships and friendships.

Although a lot of what goes into starting a new friendship is based on things like finding what you have in common, that’s not enough to keep a friendship going for years and years. 

Many ingredients go into creating and sustaining a friendship that can last a long time.  Some of these ingredients include such things as shared values and experiences, a sense of humor, a sense of liking the other person and being liked in return.

One of the important qualities that sustains a friendship over the long run is trust and respect.  When trust and respect are present, then a deeper level of affection and companionship can develop.  If trust and respect are not present, the relationship will always be superficial, and true friendship will never develop.

How can you create trust and respect in friendship?  To receive trust, you must always behave towards your friends with respect. 

Some of us learn these lessons in early childhood, some of us never learn them. 

Sometimes it seems like too much of a burden to ask us to show respect to our friends.  Instead, we sometimes want the world to revolve around us. 

None of us is perfect when it comes to friendships and relationships.  We all make mistakes sometimes.  We are all thoughtless sometimes.  Sometimes we think too much of our own needs and not enough of the other person. 

Sometimes the opposite happens.  We value the needs of the other person too much and we do not respect our own needs enough.  We twist ourselves into strange shapes trying to fit in to what we think others expect of us.  We try too hard to be liked.

We need to balance the rights and needs of our friends with our own rights and needs.  We need to learn when to stand up and speak and when to sit down and listen.
