The Best Friends: Three Different Types Of Friends

Three years ago, I went through a deep depression. I was emotional wreck because I lost my father. He did not die or anything but he was gone, he abandoned us. My mother was happy, but I was in pieces. My best friend Joanna helped me overcome my depression. Without her I would still be in profound sadness. She really did not do much but her presence was all I needed. When I was in tears, she made laugh. One time she came in the room and just hugged me. I needed that hug. It brought so much comfort to me because I knew I would always have someone by my side.

These people come in all shapes and sizes. They are basically family, and everything you hide about yourself, they know. My best friend is Joanna. I have never meet anyone so sincere and yet so ruthless towards people and life. She does not care about anyone but herself. However I know Joanna and under that dark cover was a soft heart.

She never asked for anything in return. The day I figured out we were best friends was the day she poured her heart out to me because I gave her emotional support that I could only offer.

She would ask “Hey do you have the answers to the homework?” If not that she would ask “Do you know who is having the party this weekend?” I would get irritated because that is not how to start a conversation. I thought it was rude, why not ask me how I am doing and then get to your point. Not only that she would never talk to me afterwards or not even a hello. Sometimes I would be hesitant to respond and then I would remember that I am respectful. That is why I now try to avoid these types of people. They are selfish and rude. Overall we have all encountered all these types of people. Whether or not you think the same about each type of friend, you know some that have some of the attributes. The best friend will always be close to your heart. The friend will always give you a good laugh and the answers to the next quiz. The occasional friend, well will always be transparent until they need something. Life is full of great wonders and surprises. We should enjoy life with everyone and anyone. No matter if they are your best friend, friend or the occasional friend enjoy the time you have on this planet. We should enjoy everyone,
