First of all, if you haven't seen a single episode of the American sitcom Friends, shame on you. I highly recommend that you give the show a shot.
For those of you that have had an opportunity to watch Friends, it is evident that each character has their own distinctive traits. However, it is easy to identify Ross as the kind of character that resembles someone within our own respective cliques.
If you identify with Doctor Geller, you're most likely..
1. Weird/Childish
2.Socially awkward
3. Nerdy
4. Huge ego/Must always be right
5. Easily angered

6. Clumsy

As clumsy and awkward as Ross may be, there is no questioning his loyalty and compassion for his friends. He has the best interest of his friends in mind despite his occasional impulsive outbursts.
He may difficult to deal with from time to time, but he's generally the most mature one in the group. Whether its intentional or not is unimportant because you know that he'll be there for you whether you like it or not.
Compassion is hard to come around these days, and having a mature, comical character for a friend like Ross is almost necessary to get through the difficulties that life throws at us. For some thats not being able to ride a bike or being afraid to put themselves out there for an audition, but Ross is the kind of person to make you ride that bike and force you into that audition.
If Ross can get through a mugging at 12-years-old, heartbreak in high school, two divorces, go on a "break", and someone manage to pick himself up again and again, why can't you? Ross is the symbol of a person that no matter how hard life hits, you can always get back up. So kuddos to you Ross Gellers out there!
