All sorts of friends

As we grow up, we go through different stages of life, we also experience different types of friends, and hear different sayings about them, “tell me who your friend is, I tell you who you are”,” a friend in need is a friend in deed”….etc

How many types of friends did you experience in your life so far?

I’ve experienced place related friends, he/she was friendly because they sat next to me in class(at school), or went to the same class with me in collage , or work in the same place with you, or have the same time space between classes as you, sorry the last ones fall in the hangout friends category.

When some people have no one to hang out with , or go shopping with, or all their relatives and friends are involved in their lives, and they have no one to keep them company or just pass time with, taraaaaa, they remember you, call and even surprisingly want to “hang out” with you, later when the friends they really like are available again they suffer memory loss, and sight loss, you simply become invisible to them, and they are too busy to go shopping or hang out with you, but fear nothing just look over your shoulder ,and see the( always around you) friends, I call them : the favor friends , they Are smiling, nice and admiring you, until you give them what they want or say no, in both cases they don’t waste time, either they get what they need or move fast to the next person on their list.

Also, I won’t forget the forceful friends, I had a big share of this type, they are nice people, they don’t need a favor, you are always on their minds, but they force their friends and relatives and in lows on you, for example you want to visit your friend but end up sitting with the sister and mother, or the sister in low

Also if you want to invite your friend to a party or wedding they ask you to send the invitation with the in lows name on it, or invite the sister too,

When you think you finally had time to sit privately with your friend they show up with their friend whom you never met before!

A typical type of friends, social class friends, they follow a simple rule: if
You are of the same social class or higher, you are a candidate to be a friend, otherwise you are simply comedy material to them.

The list goes on, the types are so many, and we keep creating more as life changes, but a fixed fact with these types is: they all can’t keep a secret, that includes life time friends too.

I came to realize that my real friends are: God, my parents, possibly my siblings, and lucky people have their spouses as friends.
What type of friends do you have? And what type are you?
