Most of us have that one core group of friends that we feel the closest with. They usually feel like your extended family, and whatever it is about you guys, it just clicks. Maybe it is because every person fills a different role, and all of these roles together makes the group a whole lot stronger. But what are these roles? Have you ever thought about it? Here are some of the common roles that you may find within your friend group.
1. The Mom.
The mom of the friend group is the responsible one. She always reminds the group to “Be careful!” and “Make good decisions!” She is the friend that talks you out of buying things that you don’t actually need, and will never encourage you to miss class. She is also one of the most caring friends you have and you will never have to question her loyalty.
2. The Wild Child.
There isn’t a party she misses, and she’s the first one on the dance floor. Her decisions are sometimes questionable, but you love her anyway. When it comes to a late night McDonald’s run, she’s the first to initiate it, and it might be followed by some crazy activities.
3. The Pushover
She is okay with whatever. You will never get her to make a decision about where she wants to eat, or what she wants to do. Anything the group wants to do, she is more than likely willing to oblige. She doesn’t really stick up for herself, so she is often the person that hears all of the drama because everyone knows she won’t do anything about it.
4.The Drama Queen
This friend is the one that sometimes you just can’t handle, but you love her anyway. She has a lot of drama in her life all the time, and if she doesn’t have any to talk about in hers, she will find some to talk about in someone else’s. Everything terrible is a crisis, and everything good is the best thing ever. Her life is literally a rollercoaster of emotions.
5.The Ring Leader
This is the go-to plan maker. She initiates the hang outs, and is often a decider of who falls into what role and makes sure they stay in that place. There is not much fighting against this friend because you are afraid of her repercussions.
