The best thing I have ever given to my friend is the service and energy that I give whenever he
needs me. In my life I don't have too many best friends, you could say I only have two best
friends so far. My best friends are from my friends in middle school and college. My best friend
from junior high school has been friends with me for about 9 years, while my best friend from
college has been friends with me since the first semester of college. The best thing I've ever done
for them is, when they need me, anytime, anywhere, unless we're far apart, then I'll go to them to
accompany them, ask what happened to them and cheer them up by inviting them to have snacks
together and have a vacation to enjoy their time. with me so that they are not sad and think about
the problem again. After that, they would definitely treat me to a meal, and sometimes they
would pay for the holidays. Meanwhile, when I and they are far apart, I will be ready to
accompany them on the phone even though it's midnight to early morning just to accompany him.
Based on the social exchange theory of Thibault and Kelley, 1952, social exchange theory is
social behavior involving social exchange in which people are motivated by obtaining something
of value (award) in exchange for losing something of value (cost). This behavior can occur not
only in interactions between traders and buyers, but can occur in every social interaction, for
example, the interaction that occurs between me and my friend. In the above case, it was
explained that if they needed me, I would always be there, and then they would reward me in
return, or give me treats to eat and vacation together. This fits perfectly with the theory that
comes from Thibault and Kelley. This theory is very influential on everyone's social interactions
and fortifies the structure of the group, as those who are able to give advice are rewarded with
respect, prestige, or perhaps reciprocal action from the person receiving the help. If in science
lessons, this can also be called a symbiotic mutualism, where no party is harmed in the
interaction activity and in fact they help each other. In short, friendship between best friends if it
is associated with social exchange theory can be called the concept of 'take and give' instead of
'give and give'.
