The best relationships are those that challenge you, keep you in check and overall bring out the best version of yourself. We've all heard the theory of opposites attracting in relationships, but what have they said about friend groups? What characteristics help find your best friends, the ones you can't live without and frankly, your future bridesmaids? We meet over 80,000 people in our lifetime, so how do we choose? Here are 4 ways why absolutely polar-opposite personalities create the best friend groups:
You will be called out for anything and everything.
There are no ringleaders in these types of friend groups. You can try your best to control everyone, but will quickly come to find that it will not fly. If someone happens to disagree with you, they will not hold back in letting you know.
There is always that one person that will always laugh at your jokes.
No matter how funny you think you are, you can always count on that one friend in the group to support your inability to be funny. Will you ever know if you actually are? Probably not.
Your differences bring you closer.
While you are pushed out of your comfort zone, recognizing differences in each person brings you closer as a whole. Even though you may see their weaknesses fully, you will always try to help your friend improve them to make them a better person.
Opposites do attract!
When all is said and done, opposite personalities make life more challenging, but exciting. There may be disagreements and questionable decisions, but your friends continue to share one thing in common: a love for one another. Whether that one person continues to be late to everything or believes they are always right, we accept them as they are. So welcome their flaws, take in their opposing advice and recognize that you would not be the person you are today without each and every one of them.
