Myths of Friendship:-

1.Men and women can't be friends:
Fact : Well, this can be true if they want to be friends with someone they’ve dated or if one of them has a secret crush on the other. But the fact is that men and women can have platonic friendships if they are being honest with each other and if they are emotionally secure and stable.

2.Real Friendships are effortless :
Fact: You know the saying, ‘relationships take work’? The same can be said of friendships. It doesn’t need to be a lot, just things like making an effort to organize plans, not flaking on plans once they’re made, offering extra support when they’re going through a tough time, and remembering birthdays.

3.True Friends must always be physically present: No matter how amazing that sounds, this can come with the hidden thought of disrespecting boundaries. When we think we will have our friends through time, we can also end up taking them for granted.

4.True friends should always be like minded: any relationship, friendships can also feel different with time – however, that should not stop us from putting in efforts and staying connected with them.

5.There shouldn't be privacy among true friends: it's assumed that friends should always be ready and willing to drop everything to help or spend time with you. They may not always be available, and that doesn't diminish the value of the friendship.

6.Friendships should feel same over the time: Like any relationship, friendships can also feel different with time – however, that shouldn't stop us from putting in efforts and staying connected with them.

7.True friends are always there for us: We have to understand that our friends are also individual people and they also have their own life struggles. True friendship has empathy in it's core.

8.Friendship should work: There is no model as to how a friendship should work. With efforts and healthy communication, we can make it work.

9.Friends should not compare themselves: Jealousy and comparison are normal in any relationship however that should be addressed
through healthy communication.
