The best part of any big friend group is that everyone contributes something different: some people are great at giving advice, some are great at making people laugh, some are great at just lighting up a room when they walk in, etc... Here are a list of 30 common types of friends in every big group-- can you figure out which one you relate with the most?
1. The Mom
Every group has #TeamMom. She makes sure you get home safely, that you are drinking enough water, and that you don't make any rash decisions that you'll regret in the morning. She's the voice of reason in the middle of your crazy party storm
2. The Boy Crazy One
This friend wears her heart on her sleeve and isn't afraid to fall a couple times to find Mr. Right... Or Mr. Wrong. She's crushing 24/7 and doesn't mind it at all - and why should they? They're young, single, and ready to mingle!
3. The Drama Queen/King
If something-- anything-- happened, they'll make a scene about it and make sure you know. Nothing is ever a small deal to them, even if it is to the rest of the world. They are just full of emotion and you love that about them.
4. The Forgetful One
Where's this person's phone? Where's their bag? Where's their drink? Where's their anything really? It's a miracle if this friend doesn't misplace something while they're out.
5. The Wild Card
Who knows what this is going to do this day. One day they're #TeamMom, the next day you're the one carrying them out of the bar. They're like a ticking time bomb and you have no idea what's going to happen; they're always keeping you on your tip toes.
6. The Ultimate "YOLO"
They're the definition of a hot mess. They're always down to do the craziest things, have the best morning after stories, and just do whatever, whenever. They have the wildest, go-with-the-flow soul that you can't help but respect sometimes.
7. The Random
Sometimes they're there, sometimes they're not. No one really knows how they joined the group, but that's alright. They're like the majestic unicorn of the group.
8. The "I'm On My Way"
When they say, "I'll be there in five minutes," they really mean 15. They're never on time, and never will be.
9. The Document-er
You can always count on them to get all the photos on your group outings. They always have their camera or phone always readily available for picture-perfect moments.
10. The Hungry One
It is love at first bite for this friend. They're always the first one to suggest getting food and are always down to share a late night pizza with you.
11. The Sarcastic One
They always have the wittiest, most sarcastic remarks readily available for anything you have to say, whenever you have to say it. Sometimes you want to hit them because they're such a twat, but at the end of the day, you love the sass.
12. The Selfie Queen
They've got the "But first, let me take a selfie" thing down. They know exactly what angles to use, have the best Instagram captions, and edits. Narcissistic? Maybe. But they're the best looking narcissist you've ever seen.
13. The Creep
They're not actually a creep, they just come off that way sometimes. They don't always make the best first impression, but you learn to love their weird and awkward ways. When someone says, Wwhy is your friend so weird?" You know, "Oh. that's just ____"
14. The Brainiac
This friend is just blessed with being smart beyond belief. If you're in the middle of a text and realize you don't remember how to spell a word, they've got you covered. Made a grammar mistake? They'll probably call you out. Need help with homework? Personal tutor at your service. #Blessed
15. The GM Abuser
Everyone loves the group message... until that one friend decides to spam it with texts about what their mom made them for dinner last week. Someone steal their phone from them, please.
16. The Loud Mouth
Let's just say that they're not your most bashful friend. When they're on their way you normally know because you can hear them from 1,000 feet away.
17. The Dad
He makes the most awful jokes, has dance moves that haven't been touched for years, and looks like he just stole from your dad's closet. You just know you're going to be invited to the sickest barbecues one day.
18. The Fashionista
They always look put together, even after a rough night. Their clothes are always up-to-date and ready to dominate.
19. The Sweetheart
The kindest, warmest heart you know. This friend is loved by all because she's just overall a wonderful ray of sunshine and is the best friend to anyone they meet.
20. The Moocher
If this person isn't asking for money, it's food, or a shirt, or a pencil, or possibly a kidney-- it's always something.
21. The NAF
They may not win a race or weight lifting contest for you, but they've got the strongest heart. Their lack of coordination is just part of their charm.
22. The Chill One
This person goes with the flow more than anyone you know. They're never interested in whatever drama is going on, they're always down to go on whatever adventure the group decides on, and they're just a cool cat to have.
23. The Realist
This friend can come off a little harsh, but they're just being blunt. They're not afraid to speak their mind, tell you how it is, and keep it real with you. At the end of the day, sometimes you need someone to smack some sense into you.
24. The Introvert
This friend is a little bit more on the shy side, but still equally as lovable as anyone else. They don't speak as often, but when they do, they always have something meaningful to say.
25. The Therapist
This friend is the best listener, always tells you how it is, and helps give you the best advice. Sometimes you just need to discuss your problems out loud with someone to help fully understand the problem.
26. The Heart Breaker
Stealing hearts left and right, your friend never has any shortage of admirers, although they never need to keep one for long. Heart breaker is the name and heart breaking is the game.
27. The Gossip
If there's any intel on anyone around you, this person probably has it and will let you know about - even if you don't ask for it. They're not "spreading rumors" per se, just "relaying information."
28. The Annoying Couple
You already know. Get a room, people.
29. The Shopaholic
They are always sporting something new that they just bought. They wouldn't call it so much of a problem though - it's always something "necessary," or "on sale," or they "just had to buy it!".
30. The Sleeper
We all love a good nap here and there, but this friend is always sleeping. Sometimes you won't see them for days because they've been "so busy" a.k.a. you know they're in their room with some nice music or Netflix, and already passed TF out. Food? Adventures? Parties? Those can wait. Sleeping is bae.
We all have these friends, whether it's a combination of a few or one of everything. (And you have to admit, you saw yourself in some of these too).
