October 29-November 4 (Discussion #2)

My best friend has to be my roommate Cat. We display acceptance, trust, and closeness within our friendship. Acceptance is the expectation that relies on friends accepting each other including their flaws (Wood 256). Trust is a component within the friendship that involves confidence that others will be dependent and will do what they promise. Closeness is emotional intimacy that grows from time together, shared experiences, and communication. These aspects of a friendship all grow with time. Each of the components is intertwined and functions harmoniously together. Cat and I are very different people but we have accepted each other’s personalities even though it doesn’t replicate our own. We have grown to trust by being there for each other in times of need and sorrow.  Our closeness has developed through years of friendship and time spent doing things or going places with each other. The dynamics in our friendship is exactly how the chapter depicts it including the paragraph about having support for one another
