Social interaction with others is part of the human nature. Companionship is one of the common needs in a human life. Although it does not fall under any one of the theories of Erikson's or Freud's but it is indeed vital. I shall say, it's more of that interaction process in which every being depend or look upon.
Every child's development varies due to the society and interaction that they were exposed to in their period of growing up. As quoted by some, "An uneducated person will raise another social imbecile while an achiever will raise another high achiever"...a phrase I don't really agree upon but on another note, it does actually have a certain amount of truth in it. A common indication of the major role in which the surrounding society plays in one's development and well being.
With further interaction comes about the term 'friends' or 'friendship'. I believe friendship is a process in which should be cultured and cultivated but yet again I still am clueless in this ambiguous notion. According to a hadith, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that "Man is influenced by the faith of his friends therefore becareful of whom you associate with". The phrase straight-forwardly means that thorough assessment is important prior to furthering oneself into an agreed association.
But then again as humans, we are always open to either obvious or unobvious wrongdoings. Does that make one less worthy to befriended? The Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) was asked, "What person can be the best friend?" "He who helps you remember Allah (SWT), and reminds you when you forget Him," the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), counseled. This explains the empowerment on which a friend can input into one's life; they can either make you realize that mistake and guide you back to the right path no matter how long it takes or they can break you along the way and leave you to suffer in outmost agony.
Imam Hassan Askari (as) says: "Those who advise their friend secretly are respecting them, and those who advise them openly are humiliating them." In such instance, these individuals are never fit to be called friends as humiliations as such is a preposterous approach despite their noticeably noble intentions.
In time of distress then one can distinguish between his friend and his enemy, oh well, I'm glad that enemy in them appeared sooner than later. *smiles*
