Question

Best friends are a staple in many lives. you probably have had different ones as you progressed through your life. If you could "build a best friend ",what three trait characteristics would you want them to possess and how would that change across the lifespan at: age 5,age 15, age 40, and age 70? this is a question on psychology, thanks

Answer 1

If I had to choose three characteristics to “build” my best friend, I would choose loyalty, humour and integrity. With these traits, These are traits that I personally admire and aspire to possess, and that which form the basis of rock-solid friendship. Of course, during childhood and adolescence, integrity of character would not have been fully developed as this occurs later during the life span. Even humour, perhaps, would only develop during adolescence. But loyalty is something that can be observed from a very young age.
