Everyone wants a good friendship. Everyone wants to feel loved. But, limitations may set in - the harsh truths. Trust me; it is better to know what could happen than to get hit unprepared.

This post contains some facts about friendships that may be new to you. Find them below.

1. There Is Nothing Like Perfect Friendship

Just like humans, relationships or friendships are not flawless. For this reason, you must accept your friends for who they are instead of setting high expectations, which may take a toll on your friendship.

2. There Will Be Conflicts

What matters the most in any friendship is the ability to settle your differences because there would be disagreements and arguments. Everybody is different and has different perspectives.

3. Not All Friendships Will Last Forever

You may feel ecstatic because you have found the best companion since you both gel immediately and think it'd be a forever journey. Alas, it may not. In some cases, the closeness reduces, and in others, the friendship is no more.

4. You May Not See Each Other For A Long Time

From the periods when you can't do without seeing each other regularly, there may be a switch due to possible circumstances. However, this doesn't mean there's no love, don't assume. There may not be physical contact, but who says friendship has to be?

5. There Must Be No Room For Toxicity

Toxic friendships are very common. Once you realize it is an unhealthy friendship, you need to leave. If the relationship feels one-sided or negatively affects your mental health, it becomes a no-no.

6. Your Friends May Not Be Reciprocate Care As You Want

It is more or less a branch of the previous truth. You may be very caring in your affairs with friends. On the other hand, your friend(s) may not be as supportive. At this point, your happiness matters- you also need love.

7. Quality Over Quantity- A Squad Is Not Necessary

Your interest in having a group of friends may increase with social media posts using hashtags like #SquadGoals. But, note that it is better to have a few trusted and priceless friends than a clique of incompatible and fake friends.

8. You May Feel Left Out Sometimes

As a good friend, you should understand that sometimes you should respect boundaries. Don't be an intruder. As long as it doesn't look deliberate, space is vital. They may have other friends or be in a relationship. It can't always be you.

9. Your May Get Emotionally Damaged

Understanding human beings is challenging. Having a friend is understanding your differences which may be a lot of work. Furthermore, the process of sorting out differences may be tasking.

10. Always Be Your Own Friend

Self-love has to be one of the best things to happen to anyone. Make yourself your best friend. It is impossible to love others when you don't love yourself. Friendship is love. By starting a friendship with yourself, you are making yourself better for all your friendships.

Anyone ready to be your friend would love you. Do not over reminisce on how old the friendship is but scrutinize its quality.
