Some individuals like to have friends who always agree with them,
while
 others want friends that sometimes do not have the same
opinion
 as them.
While
 having a confidant that readily agrees with our
opinion
 has its benefit, somebody who corrects us when we are wrong is the type of
friend
 preferred by some
people
. I believe that it is important to be friends with someone who does not follow us blindly. In
this
essay

 I am going to elaborate on the same. Having a companion that always agrees with one's viewpoint is good for
people
 who cannot tolerate criticism. These individuals like to work on their own accord as it is hard for them to handle criticism constructively. Citing a live example, my cousin's sister becomes furious if I point out one of her mistakes, she has a close
friend
 who always seems to agree with her point of view.
Thus
, these
people
 like to have a
friend
 who agrees with their
opinion
. Some
people
 like to have companions that correct them whenever they are wrong. These individuals believe that there is a possibility that they could be wrong, so they have an open mind toward any suggestion for improvement.
For instance
, my best
friend
 disagreed with my decision to work for one company my whole life, and switching jobs opened more opportunities for me.
Therefore
, some
people
 want a
friend
 in their life who can assist to correct their decision for a better outcome.
To conclude
,
although
 having a
friend
 who agrees with us is preferred by some
people
, others like to have a confidant that does not always agrees with their way of thinking. I am of the
opinion
 that having a
friend
 means someone who can guide us when we are wrong.
