Do you hear these all the time "Can you stay late and do this?" "Oh you know what you're doing" "You're a natural born leader"? Are you used to taking on resposibility without asking for it? Do random people look up to you even when you're trying to blend in? Well you might just be a natural born leader if this sounds familiar.

1. You find yourself accidentally leading the group

"Umm sure I guess you can do that part of the project? Why are you asking me again?"

2. You've become the go to gal in situations you're not prepared for

You've become really good on the fly...

3. People you don't know are asking you for advice

"No, you should probably break up with him if it's the eighth time he's cheated on you...You will find someone better I'm sure!"

4. People are surprised when you don't have the answer

"Bread might be in aisle 3 maybe? Ma'am are you aware I don't work here?"

5. Being volunteered and "volun-told" by others is normal

I mean we would have probably volunteered anyway...

6. You are always elected to deliver bad news

You're always losing at "Nose Goes"...

7. Free time is rare and precious

"Can you help me with--" "Sorry can't got a meeting!" *Goes home to watch Netflix*

8. You're known to be "a little intimidating"

But underneath your terrifying exterior your just a ball of fluff.

9. You have been dubbed as the mom of your group

You're the one teaching them to make soup and reminding them to drink water!

10. Jealousy is super awkward

It's not like you trying to make them jealous! You're just doing what your told!

11. Strangers compliment you on having your life together

You're really good at keeping it together in public! But in reality, making your bed is still a daily struggle...

If you know these struggles then you might just be a natural-born leader. Don't worry most of the time it works out in your favor! And well when it doesn't? We do what we normally do, and fake it till we make it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
