Friendliness vs. Friendship

Does anybody know the difference between the two? Can somebody explain? Dictionary's definition is just plain confusing..... they seem to be one and the same thing.😕😕

Persy, nice topic once again... 😃

Yep its rather confusing to differentiate both the terms..I will try in any case..

Friendliness: A personality trait that some people possess..They are friendly and nice to every one no matter what...

Friendship: A unique relationship in the world that binds two people forever no matter which back grounds they come from...

I hope that helps..I am curious to know other elite member's views too including yours... 😊

Persy good one!! 😛

Friendliness: Someone who is approachable, easy & nice to get along with.

Friendship: Relationship between two people which is meant to last for ever. Always supporting, being there, loving, respecting, not judging one another are some of the key factors to the friendship. I am speaking of True Friendship where there is no Betrayal period. 😃

Its uncanny, but someone told me this exact phrase last night.

Friendliness is a characteristic, a behavior trait, found in many. Some fruitify it into a relationship, thats friendship, in its true sense, without backstabbing/ betrayals.

Raksha well said.. Except for the forever part which I don't agree.

Friendliness can be learned like anything.. Everyone should try it ..😉 Friendliness is Karma eventually and Friendship is the fruit..

Not everyone can have friendship in life .. It requires 2 unique people to bond and understand each other in a way that is mutually satisfying. Also they don't have to be friends for LIFE.. or share every little thing every day.. My good friend and I talk maybe once every few weeks but I know I can call upon her or vice versa anytime....

Friendship afterall is having a rapport with friendly people. 😉

Agree with posts made before that one can be friendly but have few or no friends.

Same here.. Even through im friendly, i talk to so many people, these people dont make a difference in my life. They arnt the ones i will share my problems with. They are merly people whom i talk to and know yet im very friendly with them.😊

How do you pick whom you are gonna share your problems with then? You feel comfortable enough to share? Can't just wake up, and say we have become friends, can we?😕Let me share😆. How long before you say that? Year seems like a healthy period.😕

lol, I know there is no time limit ... but it is so annoying to feel connected and not have it reciprocated back or be under the impression that the person is trust-worthy, understanding, friendly--> worthy of friendship, only to be heard to many times, and then be scolded, and told to buzz off. Not to be treated differently than others😕 Rejection is hard.😳
