These days, “Good friends come in stages (阶段)” has become a hot topic. According to the Guardian, a survey found that 40 percent of British people aged 16 and over had lost touch with some of their friends. Friendship researcher William Rawlins divides the friendship into three parts: active, dormant(休眠的) and commemorative(纪念的).
Active friendship means we’re often in touch with some people. When we get into difficulties, we can call them for support. They always stay with us. Especially, we know a lot about what’s going on in their lives.
A “dormant friend” is someone we used to spend time with, but we haven’t spoken to him for quite a while. But if there are some chances, we can get together, and we would still feel comfortable.
A “commemorative friend” is someone who was important to us at an earlier time in our lives, but we don’t really expect to see or hear from him.
Why do we need friends? According to Adam Smiley Poswolsky, the author of Friendship in the Age of Loneliness, a good friendship is often two people bringing out the best in each other. Friendship is of great importance in our lives. No matter what kind of friendship it is, it is always the most colourful part for us.
