What is friendship??

TRUST, RESPECT, AND LOYALTY
Friendship is also about identifying those who you can trust and whom you know will maintain a certain level of loyalty and respect. Granted, there are different levels of trust and those levels often correspond to how "close" your friends are. I have a few close friends who I can tell just about anything about myself. I have a larger group of "general" friends with whom I can dialogue and have a good time, but I would probably be hesitant to just blurt out my most intimate details to them.
Friendship is a relationship between people, and like any relationship, it takes work. In addition, it takes a lot of time, shared experiences, and common beliefs. That doesn't mean that we have to go out and find carbon copies of ourselves, but our nature tends to make us homogenize our relationships to a certain extent. Jobs, events, and happenstance come and go, but if you put in the time, you will always have friends.
