Friendships: Quality over Quantity

Feelings of happiness are easy. Happiness is not. Flirting is easy. Love is not. Saying you’re friends is easy. Being friends is not. - David Levithan.

There are life lessons our parents teach us, life lessons we learn on our own and life lessons that only our friends can teach us. Friends are essential in our lives and while many friends have exparations dates,very few remain with us until the end of our days.

As children we don’t really choose friends. It's very quiet simple at the young age. Those who smile and play with us automatically built a friendship with us. The one that hangs around the most automatically becomes the best friend.

In adulthood the dynamic of friendship shifts because, as we mature we develop our own unique personality, needs, wants, and therefore just a smile is no longer enough.

The environment we are in, be it school or work, narrows down the list of friends you can choose from by default, just by virtue of the fact that you are in that environment.

Quality over Quantity

There are people who find value in having a lot of friends. The fact that they can confidently invite over twenty friends and post the gathering on social media allows them to fill their mind bubble with desired popularity. It allows them to feel heard, wanted and liked, factors that are most likely missing in reality. The truth is, not everyone can garner that many friends, unless you start giving out "ice-cream" in the forms of a job, free amenities, giveaways, etc.

And then there is another kind of people who find value in having as little friends as they possibly can. These folks guard their friendship circle so strongly because it is built on trust, love, respect and loyalty. Majority of the time, such friendships can even comprise of as little as two people. It is quite rare for this kind of friendship circle to get past five individuals. Having a whole bunch of fiends to hang out and party might look "great" from the outside, but having a few strong individuals in your inner circle who you can always count on is the real deal.

Love In The Time of Corona

Today, the whole world has been thrust in the arms of a wide range of challenges. Basically, everything that people do has changed dramatically. As everyone gets older, the foundation of their lives has been affected, including how people are choosing to stay connected during corona. From talking to loved ones on their mobile phones to communicating with family and friends via text messaging, the technological advancements available during these periods of lockdowns have been very beneficial.

Though there is nothing like direct human communication live, some people are still looking for creative ways to meet new people. This is especially true for people who are searching for a mate that they will not only date but can make a life commitment like marriage. That being said, here are some safe ways that people can find new potential friends to spend time with.

Each one reach one - Old Fashioned Virtual Meetings

If you want to be safe while meeting new people, there are many ways to meet new people and stay connected. For instance, if you really want to meet other people out of your present circle, join a group that requires invitation only. Simply stated, ask a friend or family member to introduce you to a virtual group with people who have a common interest. Just like you may be invited to a physical social gathering, you can be invited to virtual gatherings that you can attend, too.

ANXIETY IN RELATIONSHIP: How to overcome anxiety, jealousy, negative thinking and manage insecurity and attachement. Learn how to eliminate couple conflicts to establish better relationships

Why can a woman stop desiring her partner?

Psychologist Mark Barton shares that in practice, he increasingly became a witness of how female psychogenic frigidity manifests itself. That is, a dull desire or a complete lack of desire to enter into intimacy with her partner. What is it? Fatigue, heavy workload, or something deeper? Let's figure it out. For a man, sex begins during sex; for a woman, sex begins a little earlier. When she anticipates his arrival she is already mentally preparing to enter into intimacy with him.

Most often, psychogenic frigidity is caused and appears in a woman's life because she is in unfavorable conditions. There are situations when you are in a relationship with a man and do not want to go to bed with him, but at the same time you may be sexually interested in other men. This is one of the factors that indicate that psychogenic frigidity appears in your life.

These factors also include:

• Emphasizing the partner's sexual defects.
• Problems of emotional closeness in the family.
• Interruption of intercourse.
