IMPORTANCE OF FRIENDS IN OUR LIFE ESSAY 5 (600 WORDS)
Introduction
Friends make our lives special. If you do not have friends then you merely exist, you don’t 
live in the true sense. The importance of friendship has been emphasized time and again and 
the concept is not overrated.
Why Having Friends at work is Important?
There is a lot of competition in corporate offices these days. People need to work for long 
hours, go to work on the weekends and even require going on official tours regularly. There 
is a lot of work pressure and life can become extremely stressful in such a situation. 
However, not when there are friends at work. When you find friends in your colleagues, your 
workplace becomes an interesting place and you look forward to go to your office. You 
know that there are people around who are going through the same amount of work pressure 
and stress. Conversing with them, venting out your feelings about work environment and 
taking and giving them tips on how to handle work pressure can make you feel much better.
You need emotional support when your boss shouts at you for some reason or doesn’t grant 
you leave or sets unrealistic targets for you. Having friends at office can help in lowering 
stress caused due to such reasons as they understand your situation best. Office then doesn’t 
just remains a place to immerse yourself in work or take instructions from your boss it 
becomes livelier. It has been seen that those who have friends at office tend to stick to the 
organization for long and take fewer leaves.
However, in the corporate world people often make friends with selfish motifs. So, before 
sharing any important information or getting emotionally attached with your colleagues 
turned friends you must ensure that they are genuinely interested in your friendship and not 
because being with you benefits them in some way.
Friends Help in Enhancing our Personality
Imagine what kind of a person you will become if your life only involves going to the school 
and coming back home, if all you do at school is study and stay confined to your home with 
minimum interaction with the outside world? Your life will become extremely dull and 
boring. Many people these days lead such a life as they grow old. This is especially so with 
the housewives who stay confined to their homes most of the times and do not make 
friendships outside. This way they lose confidence. They become socially awkward and 
eventually do not like going out and mingling with people even when they get a chance. 
Many of them even get into depression. Having friends makes life worth living. They also 
help in enhancing our personality. People who are surrounded by friends are emotionally 
strong. They are also more confident as compared to those who do not have strong 
friendships. This is because they have people around to discuss issues, vent out their 
feelings, seek advice and go out.

Hostel Life is considered the Best
Hostel life is considered to be the best time in a person’s life and this is mainly because they 
are surrounded by friends during this time. Friends can be extremely fun to be around. This 
is the reason why a place where we are away from family, all on our own can also appear 
good. The importance of friends can be felt at this time and having good friends around can 
be a blessing. Most of the friendship bonds formed in hostels last a lifetime. Friends are there 
to provide emotional support to each other. They cheer us up when we feel low, help us with 
the studies, travel for kilometers with us for shopping and indulge in various fun activities.
Conclusion
Friends are an essential part of our lives. They add vibrancy to our lives. Without friends life 
can be quite dull and boring.
