Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty The concept of loyalty is an important part of ethics. Plato originally said that only a man who is just can be loyal, and that loyalty is a condition of genuine philosophy.

Behavior can be conscious or subconscious, overt or covert, and voluntary or involuntary. Yet for some, the practical execution of friendship is little more than the trust Some philosophers argue that trust is more than a relationship of reliance. Philosophers such as Annette Baier have made a difference between trust and reliance by saying that trust can be betrayed, while reliance can only be disappointed . Carolyn McLeod explains Baier's argument by giving the following examples: we can rely on our clock to give that someone will not harm them.

Q. How can I develop a friendship with someone through conversations? What do I talk about? How does one become friends with another this way? And how open should you be with someone when trying to become friends with them? Should you tell them the same things you tell your best friends?

A. You shouldn't tell them the same things you tell your best friends right away. That will do nothing but scare them away. you have to start slow, but you do need to be somewhat open. Like, just be more friendly basically. Talk about your interests, likes/dislikes and the class you're in or whatever it is that you have in common with that person. Definitely don't share your whole life story or anything though because then you will probably just come off as desperate. But to develop a friendship, you have to talk quite often. And it does take a bit of work, but it's worth it. :)
