Must interpersonal relationships be maintained by eating and drinking? Are friends who live by eating and drinking reliable? I'm not good at this. What should I do?

Relationships don't have to be maintained by eating and drinking. Although in some social occasions, food communication can promote intimacy and trust between people, it is not the only way. In different social occasions, people can establish interpersonal relationships in various ways, such as common interests, chat topics, work fields and so on.

Friends who live by eating and drinking are not reliable, because such friendship is only based on food exchange and has no real emotional foundation. This relationship is short-lived and cannot be maintained for a long time.

Don't worry if you are not good at maintaining interpersonal relationships by eating and drinking. You can try to establish interpersonal relationships in other ways, such as participating in social activities, joining interest groups, participating in volunteer activities and so on. In these activities, you can meet people with the same interests and occupations as you, thus establishing real interpersonal relationships.

In short, what is needed to establish interpersonal relationships is sincerity, trust and similarity. There is no need to deliberately pursue eating and drinking to maintain interpersonal relationships. It is important to find people with the same interests and occupations as you, so as to establish real interpersonal relationships.
