What type of friend are you?

 

I believe we have 4 types of friends and I am talking about real friends not frenemies. And for those who are asking “what does frenemies” mean look below.

 

/ˈfren.ə.mi/ a person who pretends to be your friend but is in fact an enemy: His/her  only friends are a trio of catty frenemies she hasn't seen in months. Enemies & rivals. adversary.

 

Back to the different types, below you will see the break down of the different friends we may have during our lifetimes.

Acquaintances these are the friends that you may have at work but you interact with them only in this environment, or a neighbor that you occasionally will conversate with outside for more then 15 minutes of your time. It may also be that person you see at a mutual reoccurring event such as bingo(showing my age here).

Fun Friends these are the friends within your circle that you have fun with, always ready to go out and have  fun but they don’t know as much intimate details about your life. This is not the friend you tell your problems to as they don’t really care about the drama.

The best friend This is the friend that you tell your most intimate life details, this friend is the loyal one of the friends what we call die hard. This friend if they are the best friend will tell you when you wrong, look a mess and usually been around a long time.

Seasonal Friend most people don’t realize they are this type of friend or have a friend like this in their lives. This friend is there when you have a crisis in your life. They are there when you are going through an event in your life that changes you, when you have hard decisions to make that requires growth and hard truth’s you need to make to better yourself. 

You may think that is what a best friend is for but what you don’t understand is this friend you may have known for a short time, sometimes you may be going through something you don’t want anyone not even your significant other to know about, or your best friends.

Best Friends sometimes wants to tell you what is better because they think they know all your inner thoughts. 

The seasonal friend for some reason makes you feel at ease telling them things that will not be judged because it’s all about you, and they are there to listening rather  than talking. 

Once you go through what ever it is and no matter how long it takes this friend will be there, but once it is over they fade away and it’s ok with them because they are there just for that season in your life, and what you went through will never be spoken about again. Don’t get me wrong you will still be friends forever because you share a season not just a friendship.

By now you have guessed what type of friend I am it’s a lonely place sometimes because we give a lot of ourselves during this season but it’s worth it until the next season.

Just my thought…
