Do you have friends? If so, do you find all of them loyal, helpful, honest and will remember you forever? If the answer is yes, then you're very lucky. Throughout my life, I've had different types of friends with different attitudes. Here they are,
No posts? We drop you!
These friends are the people who kept one hand on my shoulder while the other hand was on their phones. Which means their social media life is more valuable than me being a friend. I like all that they post and they like me back. I'm not the type of guy who usually hangs around social media all day, so sometimes I don't post anything for a whole month or maybe two. After a time, these people who called me "bro" unfollow me. I don't mind, I don't really mind, but dude why would you do that to a friend just because he doesn't post?
What I learned from them is just because you've got a lot of friends who follow you on social media, and though they like all your posts doesn't mean they like you. They just want you to like them back, for you to become another follower to them because you always follow back your friends. If you've got these kinds of friends never keep any hopes.
✓ Seen & Unseen
The type of friends who talk with you when you meet them face to face. But when you send them a message, sometimes even asking "how are you?", ✓seen is displayed, but no reply. While another one's messages are unseen, receive no replies, but you can find that he had been posting all day. Sometimes the person messages you for about a full week. At the end of the week, ✓seen is displayed and no replies.
What I learned from them is not all the people whom you call as friends really want to talk with you. Though I ask how they're, how their family is, they wouldn't ask me how I am. Sometimes it's my fault, or something is wrong with me. They might find I'm boring or weird. But still, I was there to care for you at least with a message.
You're invisible, I can't see you!
We come closer, closer and closer but you can't see me. Damn! Am I dead? My spirit is walking? Here, they come and when I open my mouth to say "hi!" they wave to someone else and move towards them like they didn't see me. When you meet them face to face and they can't escape they smile, tap on your shoulder and say "Hey, after a long time! My mum's calling me gotta go! See you!". But they don't see me! (They're more often girls than guys)
What I learned from them is some friends don't want you as a friend or they're embarrassed to keep you as a friend. Friends don't pass another without at least giving him a high five on the shoulder. You must try to keep away from them without making them uncomfortable.
I-Think-I'm-A-Celeb
Most of us have these friends who change as they get money or better friends. Some live very humbly, as they get money the humble guy/girl slowly transforms to a huge show-off. The person who crunched the rusty cookies now says "I can't go a day without a piece of chocolate gateau". As they get more and more friends, you are far from their selfies, you don't know their events, you're not being invited. And finally, "where am I?".
What I learned from them is very easy, money and fame can change anyone. Even your closest and most loyal friend. The ones who leave, let them leave! You don't chase after them.
The Original Fake One
"Dude, trust me. I won't spill a word, I'll keep this as a secret for the rest of my life."
Later that day,
CNN News: **displaying your picture while the presenter reads your secrets**
There are friends who do this, who cheat you. I don't think you've never had a friend who talks really good with you and then skips to another one and spreads rumors. They talk about your odds, how clumsy they find you, they call you the slob, but all these things happen behind your back. One good thing is that I can recognize them well. So, they're the original fake friends you get.
What I learned from them is, only a few friends are actually honest and loyal. The honest ones say you're a jerk, but directly to your face! Honest friends who have got the feeling for you say the odd things about you to your face and not with anyone else; next, they're the ones who help you to change. The fake ones pretend that they're honest, but spreads germs behind your back.
Less words, but a lot for you!
The friends who don't have much to talk with you, and who smiles more than talking which makes you bored. Sometimes they're the ones whom you find the most boring or nerdy. But, when you've stuck with the problems they help you the best with no noise. They don't easily forget you and they come to you during your hardships, though they aren't your closest or the most open friends.
What I learned from them is, the ones you don't give much attention because they're boring are more often the ones who give you the most attention. They're a very valuable group of friends.
The good rich homie
Ones who are rich and got many friends, but still they consider you as a friend, and reply when you message. They've got a bit of show-off but not exceeded. They're the ones who are ready to help you and will not drop you off as they get more money.
What I learned from them is, they're quite rare!
The good thug
"So he told you that he's gonna kill you? Show me the guy, I'm gonna kick his ass till it flexes."
If someone comes against you, they're ready to fight for you. And other times, they're the mediators who settle the arguments before they go too far.
What I learned from them is, these guys are a part of friends who've got the feeling that you're one among them, in other words - you're a bro! But however, there are some guys who just get involved in the fights, not for you but just to knock someone for pleasure.
The Blood Bond
They're almost brothers. Doesn't matter how far the time goes, they don't separate from you. They're the ones who never forgot me, never left me when I really needed them. Sometimes they're annoying, but when I'm stuck in a problem, the crew is next to me. They would message when they get back home and ask "how ya feeling now?". When the best times come, they turn to the craziest ones in your life. They recall the old memories, laugh, and then say "How great those good old days were."
What I learned from them is, these are the ones whom I must always be there with. Whom I must always help, remember and wish on their birthdays. I would be a lot glad to have at least one friend from this kind rather than having a hundred from the people I discussed on the top.
I hope most of you have this kind of friends too, and I hope you got something out of this myTake. Thanks for reading. Don't forget to leave a comment :)
