Facebook isn't usually too many people's favorite social media platform, but that doesn't mean the vast majority of us don't have one. However, in any profile, there seems to be a few common friends we all share.
1. The Salesman
This friend always seems to happen upon the latest and greatest things. Whether it be a weight loss shake, skin care treatment, or some fancy leggings, this person knows where to find the good stuff... and is willing to sell it to you regularly for a hefty price.
2. The Inspiration
Feeling down? Visit this friend's page. They are an everlasting resource of positivity and good vibes. They know their friends are waiting for their next post on the edge of their seats to see what insight and wisdom they're bringing to Facebook today. This friend might be a yoga instructor or might just be interested in bringing their kind services to the public.
3. The Gamer
This friend is a "Farmville" pro and they'll let you know by their consistent posts for resources. Every seed, flower, trowel, or whatever else they need will be conveniently delivered to your timeline at all hours of the day. Their farms won't rest and neither will they.
4. The Consumer
This friend will NOT make a decision without consulting their Facebook friends first. Getting a tattoo? Better ask Facebook where to get it from. Going out for dinner in the same town they've lived in their whole life? God how would they ever know where to go without their Facebook friends! Purchasing a toothbrush? Definitely call in the troops for this tough choice too.
5. The Supporter
This friend could be a relative, old friend, or someone from your church form 2008. Whoever it is, you'll rarely ever see them in person, but they're always rooting for you. They'll be the first to comment and like all of your posts. No matter how small the success, they got your back. Even through rough patches, they'll send you all the thoughts and prayers you could need.
6. The Sharer
The rule of thumb for a sharer is "if they see it, they share it." Expect to see nearly the entire contents of their timeline generously shared on yours. These are usually older folks that don't quite realize that you can "like" things too.
7. The Oversharer
Not to be confused with The Sharer, this friend usually was a teen mom or dated significantly older people while in high school. They haven't done much in life and you can tell because you get every single aspect of their life detailed fully on your newsfeed. You'll get all their drama with every family member, friend, significant other, or person they've ever met. Get the popcorn ready for a good night of watching Facebook fights with this friend.
8. The Photographer
This is probably a recently-graduated female with a Nikon. They recently purchased a higher quality camera than an iPhone and now think that they have talent. Expect to see plenty of cringy photos of their friends on the beach and rolling around in a field.
9. The Self-Photographer
This photographer doesn't need any fancy technology to realize that the greatest subject matter that they could ever come across is available with a front-facing camera. Expect a daily selfie, typically featuring an INCREDIBLY discreet Snapchat filter added in.
10. The Legs
This friend comes out of hiding when summer rolls around. It's unclear whether they have a torso or arms or anything other than legs as you only ever get the chance to see their legs lounging poolside. If they take a trip to the beach, you might get a sandy bonus shot. The Legs might read or have a fancy drink, but the rest of the person is a mystery.
11. The Foodie
If you ever thought about going on to Facebook hungry, this friend will be your worst enemy. They have this mission to prove to people that they know how to cook or how to read a menu at a restaurant to order food. They will prove this to you by posting the latest pic of their every meal. Bone apple teeth.
12. The Ghost
If you ever catch the ghost actually posting, it must be an incredibly important event. The ghost will accept friend requests, like a few posts here or there, but unless you catch a like yourself, you may never know they exist. This friend could have the same profile picture for years. They'll only come out of hiding on occasion to post photos of their graduation and maybe their wedding. Only a few things are deemed important enough for this friend to come out and share.
13. The Facebook User
This is the friend that actively enjoys getting on Facebook every day. They take advantage of all it has to offer--decorative status backgrounds, frequent comments, reactions to posts, Facebook live--all of it. They usually also have a small group of surrounding Facebook Users that they regularly interact with.
