What kind of friend are you?

One of my closer girlfriends spit some truth that I can't help but share. In context her words were "we aren't friend's we're club friends. I consider her a homegirl not a friend" Then I thought about that concept, and mind you I feel like this is one of those known unknowns, but people rarely talk about it. You have different friends you have for different things. You wouldn't invite your club friends to a baby shower and you wouldn't invite the mommies to an after hours club. So what kind of friend are you? here are some of the kinds of friends that I have.

  • Best Friend - the person that knows the most about me. Has been through thick and thin, trial after trial, ups and downs. This person would take a bullet for you as you would for them. They can go by many names: BFF, Ace Boon Coon, co-captain, Main Chick, Bottom Bitch, Family, Ace, Top Flight, the list can go on.
  • Bestie - its cute, it shortened, and so are the responsibilities. This person is a rather close confidant, but probably doesn't know any of your deep dark secrets. They are the close friend of the right now era in your life, wasn't around for the college ups and downs or the drama of high school, or whatever part of your life you're in.
  • Event Friends - You only take this person with you when you are going out. Whether it is to the club, a concert, a art show, live music, bowling, whatever, this is the person you bring with you. They know your fun side, your outgoing vibrant personality.
  • Phone Friends - you rarely go out with these friends, but you keep them in your phone, because they are great to talk to. You might forget about them sometimes, because they aren't regulars in your life. The second you take them out of your phone, is when they call you. Great conversation, but have a tendency to be flaky if you actually invite them out. They can also be that random friend from back in the day (ie. high school, middle school, elementary school or college for my old heads) that you run into and awkwardly exchange numbers.
