Friendship Best Friends by Romualdo Locatelli (1934) Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. [1] It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an "acquaintance" or an "association", such as a classmate, neighbor, coworker, or colleague.
Platonic relationships are sometimes overlooked in our quest for romantic ones, but friendship is just as important to our psychological well-being. Friendships can enrich your life in countless ways. Good friends teach you about yourself and challenge you to be better.
