By nature, humans are social animals. We naturally form groups and normally thrive in a communal setting. Because of this inherent sociality, humans need to be versed in developing and building healthy relationships. Too often friendships and family relations turn sour when a little work by both parties could solve the problem.
Relationships are a mutual venture that is largely built on reciprocity. In order to garner trust and learn more about another person, you must be willing to share information of a similar degree. It is important to remember that building a relationship is an ongoing process, and it often takes months or years to fully develop a long-term, healthy relationship.
