There are five main behaviors we use to maintain our relationships. Woody and Buzz are a great example on how we should maintain our friendship. They are always making each other laugh and they would go to the ends of the earth to help each other out. The first behavior we could use to maintain our our friendship is positivity. Positivity is a characteristic that makes others feel comfortable to be around us and makes them enjoy our company. This includes being friendly, polite, cracking jokes and refraining from being negative or rude. Positivity is a characteristic that makes people popular with everyone. One of my good friends was just like this. She was always so much fun to be around because she was always smiling, laughing and being very genuine. The second behavior for relationships to be stable is openess. This is when your friend is willing to share their thoughts and feelings to the other person. Another behavior is assurances. This is a characteristic used when you are showing your commitment to the relationship with your friend. When your friends asks you to help them with something such as moving you say "of course I'll help!" This shows that you are willing to help your friend our whenever and you are commited to being their friend. Another behavior we portray is the social networks. This is when we introduce our friends to our other friends as well as our family members. I think this is one of the most important characteristics we need to maintain our friendships. When I first became friends with my best friend I met all of her family. Now I am just as close with her family as I am with her. The final behavior we use to maintain our friendships is sharing tasks. This is when we put forth just as much work into the friendship as our friends do. Whenever your friend helps you out it is known that you will do the same for them whenever they need it.
