Throughout history, humans have used various methods to communicate and form relationships. I have been through multiple relationships, both intimate and platonic, as well as open and closed relationships. I've had relationships that began as being nothing more than acquaintences to being best friends, and relationships where we were best friends that were ended.
In general, I prefer to have open relationships. I feel that if you aren't open to those who are close to you and vice versa, then the relationship is doomed to fail. I have known my best friend, who we'll call Seinfeld, for at least seven years. The two of us know nearly everything about each other. We know each others' opinions, feelings, and for the most part, I can anticipate what …show more content…
I helped him out by giving him some money to buy a plane ticket. I would not have put that much trust into him unless I knew that he would do the same for me if it were the other way around. Likewise, another recent example would be when recently I had a program that I could not get to run properly that I had written that would not compile properly. He took a few hours to study the syntax of the language I had written it in to see if his compiler would produce the same results and debugged it for me, as I'm not very good at debugging applications. If he had not taken the time to help me out with that, it would have taken me significantly longer to get that application running and pushed to Github.
I also have to do a lot of comforting in my initimate relationship with my girlfriend, who we'll call Elaine for this essay. When she's upset or angered, which is very often due to her gender, I have to do a ton of comforting. I have to buffer my messages severely, due to the hyper-sensitivity of the female emotional state, as well as give advice and give her my feedback. However even though she is emotional, we do have a very intimate relationship and a …show more content…
I grew up with my cousin, who we'll call Kramer. He's one of my best friends, so you could say that we have an intimate relationship. Occasionally when we hang out, we never know what to do so sometimes there can be predictability in the relationship but generally we are able to find things to do, and generally it's completely unexpected. For example, a few weekends ago we went shopping, to a drag race, and to Hooter's all in one day without any sort of plans.
Despite us getting along well presently, when we were younger we used to have issues with each other. For example, when we were younger we were always around each other but at the same time we were both very autonomous. We liked to do our own thing and it didn't matter what anyone else thought, so we were both completely different as kids. That always created dialectical tensions between us because we were so different, and we argued multiple times as kids. I remember us getting into a fist fight over who got to be the first player on a video game (this happened multiple times). If we had been open and discussed this beforehand, we would have known that it was I who would be Luigi, and my cousin who would be Mario and prevented tensions from
