Making friends is often easy during childhood. Friendship maintenance as an adult, on the other hand, may not be as effortless. Juggling your personal, work, and social life and finding the free time that works for both you and a friend can be difficult. Lifestyle options, new relationships, and distance may also present a challenge. Being a good listener and communicator is an integral part of being a caring friend. Humans tend to lean on each other for support, particularly in times of need. You may feel the need to reaffirm that you can count on others through the ups and downs of life.
