In life, we all need people whether we want to admit that or not. I am a firm believer that you're what you surround yourself with. It is important to have good people around you. Here are the different types of people you should have in your life and in your tribe:
1. The Positive One
This is the friend you can always count on to make any gloomy day sunny again. Even the most optimistic people still need someone to show them the light at the end of the tunnel.
2. The Fun Friend
This is the person you know you can go out with and have a good time no matter what you're doing. This is the friend you always call up to go to a party with you. They are great about making everything fun and knowing when you guys should leave or stay, no matter where you are at.
3. The Listener
The person you can always vent to and get advice from. We all need someone to just explain everything going on and what is going on in our heads to get some release. This friend will give you advice, whether you take it or not just the fact you vented to them makes you feel better.
3. The Adventurer
This is the person you can go play on swings with at 3 a.m. or make a last minute decision to go on a road trip. They are always down for something new and spontaneous. They help break you out of any funk that you are in.
4. The Loyal One
Now this is someone you should always hold on to. This is the friend that will defend you in your presence and in your absence. This may be someone you do not see all the time, but you always know if you need someone they are there.
5. The Open Minded Person
This is someone you know you can talk about anything with because they have such an open mind and are willingly to look at things from a different perspective than you. They help teach you to look at things in a different way. They are also nonjudgemental since they are so open minded about things.
6. The Trustworthy Friend
This is the person you could bury a body somewhere (hypothetically of course) and they would take it to the grave (pun intended). You also never have to worry about telling them not to tell anyone about something they automatically know anything you tell them is in confidence.
7. The Homebody (Netflix) Companion
When you're tired and really need a night in this is the person you call and they are over at your house with a bottle of wine. Some people literally only like going out making this person very needed and appreciated.
8. The Clown
This is the person you're constantly laughing with. They know exactly what funny Facebook video to tag you in to make your day. They know exactly what to say to make you smile when you're about to cry.
9. The Music Lover
This can be multiple people, but it is a goal to have someone that likes all the music you like just so you always have someone to go to concerts and festivals with. Nothing is worse than when your favorite artist is in town and you have no one to go see them with. Also if you have someone that will still go to a concert with you even if they hate the music they are a real keeper (If you have neither of these types of people still go to the concert).
10. The Motivator
This is the good friend that wants you to be nothing, but your absolute best. They help push you to be better because they know you can achieve greatness. You can always count on this person to convince you to go to class when you do not want to. They encourage you to go after what you want and believe in you when you do not believe in yourself.
11. The Fan
This person is your #1 fan. They always like and comment on your photos. Are always there to give you nothing but love and support on whatever you're doing. They are always there to help boost your confidence when you need it.
Now if you have someone who fits all of these descriptions you're very lucky. Do not lose them because they are in fact your person and part of your tribe.
