Close friends are really precious; they are hard to find. They play a very important role in our lives and having them has really made our lives better. However, not all people have close friends. In the modern world, people are keeping to themselves more and, the onset of modernization has really dealt a blow on friendships. This is mainly because of the mistrust that exists. Friends who are close are worth having in your life and the following are some of the important reasons why you should have them in your life. First, let us explore who a close companion is and how close they should be to you. Those people who know where you live and visit you often to share mutually with you can qualify to be close. However, closeness is not just measured by their frequent presence. It is measured by the kind of understanding you have in each other. In other words, there are close people who rarely visit each other but are very close.

Close friends are those who you can trust with your life. They often become part of us and part of our family. They are those people who are always there to lift you up when things are not going too well. In other words, close friends are those who are genuinely concerned about your life and would do anything to protect you. An often time, closeness of this kind goes both ways. Life is about giving and receiving and, you should be in a position to give the same to those friends who are close. Close friends therefore play a major role and the following are some of the things that you can expect from such friends. First, they bring you the joy and pleasure of being in a friendship. For example, when you wish to go out and have fun, you can easily go to them and know that you can enjoy yourself. Friends help us to enjoy life and share in the things of life. There is no real joy to go out on your own. Such friends will make up a support system in your life. Just like you go to a therapist or a support group, in life, we need to have pillars who we can break down on and know they will help us create ourselves again.

Close friends have the role of providing material support when you need it. In life, you can be sure that something will go wrong and when you are short of cash, the only people who you can really confide in and get help are friends. They will bail you out of situations that you could have otherwise lost your head. The best thing about this is that the next time, you will have the role of bailing them out. You depend on each other for moral, material and emotional needs and support. This is how friends are important in your lives. If you are a loner, it is perhaps time to rethink; let people share in your world. It may not be perfect, but it is definitely worth it.
