Types of Friends in your life
We can categorize the Types of friends into 5 categories.
1) True friends – True friends are those friends, who understand us better than anyone. True friends are those for whom we even die to save them. We share our secrets with them and they are very close to our life. There might be very less true friends in our life or may be none. To make true friends, there is also some work to be done on our side too. If, we are honest, have integrity, respect others, help others, we might be able to meet those true friends in life.
Try to make some true friends in your life, who are ready to do anything for you, who would understand your happiness and difficult time very clearly, and would support you to be successful.
Who is the most important “true friend ” in person’s life? ——————— You are your own true friend in your life. First, you must love yourself, value your life and be responsible human being.
A true Friend would have these 9 qualities –
a. F = Fight for you
b. R = Respect you
c. I = Include you
d. E = Encourage you
e. N = Need you
f. D = Deserve you
g. S = Stand by you
h. Sharing – Would share all his/her secrets with you
i. Ready to die for you to protect you from a danger
2) Good friends – These friends are those with whom we don’t share our secrets or die to save them. They would come to help us when in need. These friends, we might have many in numbers in our life. These friends are easy to make, but they would not be there all the time in both your difficult and good times. Wherever you are, if you help someone, you can make good friends easily.
3) Acquaintance – The name acquaintance gives the impression that we eat, sit and spend some quality time with them, that’s all, no more than that. They are our close relatives and friends, whom we call sometimes to eat, share some good time and then do it again next time. We don’t share our secrets with them. Our relation with them might be just to share our happy time with them and chat. They might be able to understand you clearly. It is not wrong to say that the relation of these friends is all about sharing happy quality time.
4) All human beings – All human beings in the world are also our friend; not matter what race, religion, gender, age category or tribe they belong to. We must consider all of the human beings as our friend. We must not be biased about this, otherwise we would racially, ethnically, religiously biased. You have to be very open minded to consider all human beings as your friend. Wherever you go, whomever you meet, they are your friend.
5) Enemy – Even our enemy is our friend. When they are our enemy, they teach something in life. Your enemy would teach you to be vigilant, have patience/high threshold, learn new skills, be defensive etc. They teach some lessons in life; they make us mentally and physically more capable to handle harsh situations. So, they are also our friend to teach something good indirectly.
But, when your enemy changes themselves to be a better person, then we accept them without any bias regardless of their past.
Who is the worst “enemy ” in a person’s life? ———————— You are your worst enemy in your life. Your arrogance, ego, selfishness, anger, opportunistic behavior, double agenda personality etc would work as an enemy against your own success.
Friends move from one category to another time to time. Sometimes, they upgrade, sometimes they downgrade. But, don’t forget that we also have equal responsibility to nurture the relationship of friendship.
