International Day of Friendship: 6 types of friends without whom our lives are incomplete

Friends are one of the most important relationships in our life. From childhood to adulthood, they are literally the family we choose and a life without friends is hard to even imagine. From helping us celebrate the good moments to sharing our sorrow in bad ones, they are the backbone of our lives. However, if you give some thought, you'll realise the bond that you share with each friend is unique because each of your friends is unique! Realising that all our friends are different, let's take a look at the 6 types of friends we all have who fill our lives in their own special way.

Types of friends we all have in our lives

1) The 'mom' of the group

There's always one friend who's 'the responsible one', who does it all, from worrying about our well-being to making sure that we are in the right company, whether it's your friends or the person you are dating. They keep things real with us, often reminding us of our parents. You'll find these friends are the ones who might not keep things fun all the time, but they always have your best interests at heart.

2) The drama queen

These are the friends who know how to always be the one in the limelight. They are no different than characters from a Bollywood movie, these friends are the ones whom you'll often find quoting film dialogues animatedly. With their over-the-top nature and love for theatrics, there's never a dull moment with them. These friends are the ones who'll always keep things interesting with their antics and are usually the life of the group.

3) The wild one

We all have a carefree friend who just loves to invite trouble wherever they go. These are the friends that are the life of the party and are always looking to make things interesting. On the other hand, these are also the friends who keep things light-hearted whenever life gets too serious. Want to check out the new cool club or do something crazy like bungee jumping, they are your partner in crime and will help you take the edge off.

4) The stingy one

We all have one penny-pincher friend, who's always counting coins. One friend who takes a birthday treat from all of us but mysteriously becomes unavailable when it's time to give one! Or the one who always asks for a separate bill for their food rather than splitting equally like the rest whenever you meet for a meal. While yes, it's hard to get behind such people, we believe we all need at least one such friend for they are the voice of reason whenever we start to go overboard with our spending.

5) The agony aunt

We all have one friend in your group that we call 'the wise one', they are whom we all gravitate towards whenever we need advice on anything, be it relationship troubles or career conflicts. These friends give the most sound advice and generally have the solution to all our problems. They are the most pure-hearted of souls, who are always ready to lend an ear to our problems, sometimes just so that we can rant and get it all out of our systems.

6) The 'sanskari' one

There's always one friend that your parents love. They are the ones responsible for getting permission from your parents to do anything. From a trip to a night out, there is nothing beyond their scope. No matter how strict your Indian parents are, there's always that one friend whose name is all you need to get your parents to agree to anything!
