I'm just doing my last minute revision and wanna take some time to post this from my notes coz i think its a brief guide to how friendships are built up:


Role-limited interactions:
Initial encounters –stick to familiar and safe topics. Exercise care in making disclosures.

Friendly relations:
Check the other person to see if there are any common interests to develop a good friendship.
Explore the potential for a deeper relationship.

Moving towards friendship:
Involves stepping beyond social roles.
When we arrange for meetings and activities.
Could introduce a more personal topic.
People talk more freely about feelings, values, goals and attitudes.

Nascent friendship:
Increased involvement and caring.
Friends begin to work out private ways of relating and interacting.

Stabilized friendship:
Benchmark = assumption of continuity.
Assume that they would continue meeting each other.

Waning friendship:
Friends drift apart because each is pulled in a different direction by career demands/personal circumstances.
Common interests and experiences that had once fuelled the friendship begins to dissolve.
