God created us as relational beings and we function best when we're in the company of others. That's why it is so important to development relationships and especially friendships. Friendships consist of those relationships where we serve and are served. The biblical description of friendship is when we seek the other's well being. It may not be easy to develop close friendships; it may take an extended period of time. But when solid friendships are formed, especially within a Christian context, all involved will find themselves blessed.
