Sex aside, what is the difference between love and friendship?

1. Friendship is more based on each other’s human charm and we become friends; love is more based on each other’s attraction to the opposite sex and we become lovers. Friendship is longer lasting than some kinds of love. Friendship can last a long time, but love in adolescence is often short-lived. The speed of changing people around you is like a revolving door, but friendship will always be there even if you don't contact for a long time.

2. Friendship has no boundaries. You can be friends with men, women, old, young, or even people who are neither men nor women. Love is different. Although it can happen between any kind of people, it is a minority after all. Homosexuality, love between young and old, are currently accepted in very few areas. I do not deny the existence of these true loves, and I am not rejecting them. It is just that heterosexuality is currently the dominant one.

3. Love is complementarity, and friendship is harmony. Love means tolerating all the shortcomings of the other person. I think there is a certain truth in it, but it is not entirely correct. I think it should be changed to love means accepting all the shortcomings of the other person and trying to help the other person get rid of these shortcomings. Because tolerance cannot solve the problem, you may not love the other person for a lifetime. All you can do is to help the other person become more independent and become less and less dependent on you.

4. Love can withstand the wind and rain, but not the ordinary; friendship can withstand the ordinary, but not the wind and rain. The relationship between people is like a cup of water. Over time, the water in the cup will gradually rise. When the water overflows, the critical point may be when friendship develops into love, so the boundary between love and friendship may be It depends on how you control your emotional critical point.
