Did you know that there's a friendship formula? Experts suggest it's influenced by 4 variables:
- Proximity: The closeness or location you share with someone.
- Frequency: How often you interact with them.
- Duration: The amount of time spent together during each interaction.
- Intensity: The depth of the relationship, including shared interests and the intimacy of conversations.
Friendship: Proximity X Frequency X Duration X Intensity
When you combine and multiply these factors, you get a likelihood of the strength of a friendship, as experts says. However, the importance of each variable can vary for different individuals based on their values and preferences.
Proximity matters because it makes the interaction in-person. Frequency is How often we see the person, because as long as we see the person, we can share more and learn more about them. It's much like the organic connections formed in school or workplaces. However, as adults, creating these frequent interactions requires more effort and time due to limited shared spaces.
Duration, similar to frequency, is crucial as it provides time for meaningful moments and sharings. And finally, intensity, which includes the quality of conversations and shared interests, significantly impacts the depth of the relationship.
