It’s difficult to imagine life without friends. Remember the wise old
saying, ‘friends are the family we choose’? It’s true. Not only it’s fun
having our friends around but they are the ones who would fish us out of
any difficult situations or become our lifesavers during hours of need.
We don’t need to elaborate on the importance of having a bunch of
friends and like all good things in life, the more friends we have, the
merrier it is. In fact, we may not realise it but all of us have
different types of friends—while some will provide us with the
much-needed comic relief during stressful times, others would offer us a
shoulder to cry on during hours of need. Let’s look at seven types of
friends without whom our life is incomplete.

The funny one
We all have that one friend who can make you cry with laughter. He or
she is usually the ‘cool dude’ of the group and has this uncanny ability
to look at the funny side of any situation. Such friends make life a
memorable affair. |

|
|
The wise one
He or she is the enlightened one of the group. Be it academics or life
in general, he or she knows everything. Their level of IQ is beyond
anyone’s imagination and you feel safe whenever such a wise friend is
around. |

The drama queen
When we say drama queen, we don’t just mean a girl. This particular
friend knows how to steal the limelight. His or her life is no less than
a Bollywood movie. They are animated and full of life. We have to give
them this credit—there is never a boring moment in our life when they
are around. |

The agony aunt
There is this one friend who has the solution to all our problems. Be it
our relationship problems or work troubles, he or she is always there to
lend an ear to our tales of woe. Surprisingly, the agony aunt friend is
not only a good listener but also good at solving our problems. |

|
The parent figure
Ah! A friend like this never gives us an opportunity to miss our
parents. They worry about our well-being, keeps an eye on the company we
keep and has an opinion about the person we are dating. Love it or not,
they can be quite irritating and intimidating at times, but our life
would be incomplete without them.

|
The troublemaker
This friend is controversy’s favourite child. Wherever you go with him
or her, trouble would closely follow your heels. No matter how big a
trouble magnet that person may be, you can never stay away from him or
her because of this one simple reason—friends are forever!

That friend from school, college or work
At different stages of life, we make different friends. We have school
friends from our childhood and as we grow we make friends from college,
office etc. Each friend has a unique place in our life and no matter
what the weather may turn out to be, they will be with us through thick
and thin.
