Ever wondered about the different kinds of friends in your life Friendship shapes who we are, how we think, and how we experience the world. Some friends inspire us, others make us laugh when we need it most, and a few challenge us to grow in ways we never expected. But not all friendships are the same, and that’s the beauty of it. In this video, we’ll explore 8 unique types of friends and their impact on our lives: Here’s what we’ll cover: The Mirror: The friend who reflects your personality (0: 18) The Laugh Riot: The one who brings humor to tough times (1: 02) The Truth Teller: Honest, but always with love (1: 46) The Harsh Critic: The line between honesty and judgment (2: 29) The Energy Vampire: Friend or fuel tank (3: 12) The Spontaneous Disruptor: Embrace the unexpected (3: 55) The Busy Bee: A caring friend with limited time (4: 38) The Casual Friend: Lighthearted, in-the-moment connections (5: 22) Key Takeaways: Friendships are diverse. Each type plays a role in shaping our emotions, choices, and experiences. Not all friendships are meant to be deep. Even casual connections can bring joy and vibrancy. Self-reflection is key. Understanding these roles helps us nurture healthier, more fulfilling friendships. Friendships come in many forms, and no single one is better than the others.

To be honest being the truth teller friend doesn't works. People do whatever they want and if you are sensitive and emphatic it just drains you trying to save them or show the truth when they don't believe. Also i HATE when people being brutally honest about my personal choice like i know it's personal but i won't ask your opinion for my outfit, if i like it then it's perfect. Let's normalize not putting our nose into our friend's life. I'm saying it cuz many people think they have the right to talk negative about their close one's outfits, hair, makeup etc when in reality it's none of anyone's business. If someone doesn't ask for your advice, don't give it. If someone loves a toxic person you can't make them realize it, atleast not for the most of the time. Sorry i might sound pessimistic but this is what i learned. Being the both sides, i feel like brutal honesty isn't helpful. It works only if it's something crucial (like a danger not when your hair doesn't looks good) and the person would consider their choice when you warn them.

I m a truth teller type of friends and I can tell you it's hard, you never know how your truth will be received but the worst is to hold an information could help or save your friends life so you just tell. To be honest most poeple I met don't like this type of people because we kind of break some delusion and not everyone is happy with that or ready. I used to tell but now I moderate when i see you stay in your dramas I just accepte and move I don't make me anymore responsable of poeple wellbeing and safeguarding as I used to.
Poeple who are truth teller are poeple who are honest with themselves and do the right things for themselves so they wish the same success for people. They tell you the true to avoid you to fall in the darkness they themselves experience and wish for you the best.
I can be as well the casual, the spontaneous and the laugher friends, depends of the person energy in front of me, I can be one or multiple of this type, i learn something valuable today. Thank for your video

Over the course of my life I’ve been in multiple friend groups. My first real one I had a laugh riot who was also a truth teller (whom is still in my life and I am still friends with, a busy bee who was awesome and I wish I still had contact with her, a casual friend aka the busy bees younger brother, and my brother who is definitely a laugh riot and disrupter. My second friend group had some really toxic people who shouldn’t have been my friends but it also had some really good people. My brother and the laugh riot truth teller both followed me into it. On top of that we had a horrible person whom it hurts to think about who was an energy vampire and a harsh critic (alongside an abusive piece of shit, we had a busy bee who at the start blurred the line between truth teller and harsh critic but definitely became a harsh critic, then we have my now partner who is a mirror and laugh riot, after that we have a busy bee truth teller and his younger brother whom is a casual friend.

I'm a truth teller but I'm also very sensitive. When I tell the truth to my relative about how they make me feel, even when I try to be soft and reasonable they get defensive and push me away and they hurt me deeply and they don't know. We argue a lot so that's why I try to open up to them to solve the argument. They get defensive and then find a cause to not open up to me. They also said I was too young to understand. But that's not true since they hurt my feelings by saying that and they don't realize it so even though the truth can hurt them they should listen till the end. I'm not attacking them or criticizing, (that's what their husband and mother does, not me) they're scared to face the truth.
They are scared to be wrong. But they're not wrong! We just need to listen to each other. Everyone is right from their own perspectives. We should work to understand each others perspectives.

Oh. Im the third type.
People usually want the first type, it ends friendships at times because the friend wont choose growth.
Its fine when theyre ignorant, but when they knowingly do things that are destructive to themselves, i start to see them not worth my time or they see me as a nuisance.
Im not trying to make people be like me or anything, i just want them to move to be the best THEM they can be.
But soemtimes they choose their past traumas, which we all have. And I cant carry them forward while they try to dig themselves deeper, wondering why they are suffering.
Meaning, they generally want to do more of the same but without the consequence, which doesnt work.

Can you make a video about young love for people aged 14 and over I'm 15 years old and I have this problem, I gave my crush a gift for the class Christmas Eve, I personally gave it to her (I bought it on my own initiative) and we made eye contact, she smiled and said thank you after the school nativity play, I asked her if she liked the gift, we made eye contact again (we both smiled) she said yes, thank you very much then her cousin told me that she was wondering why I gave her that gift. the question is: what now What should I do, what step should I take
(sorry if my English is bad, I'm Polish, so if there are any language mistakes, I'm sorry)

I feel like there is one missing, the absent friend. However I watched this with some close friends of mine on my phone. We all had a chuckle and yet they all said I was a combination of casual friend and the rare truth teller. I'll straight up tell you that what you're doing is wrong. However I never judge, nor do I insult. Only tell you that isn't right or the like, and definitely help you out. But I'm also more of an absent friend. Someone whose always there for you when you need them, will message when you message or pop in once in a while to see how you doing and regardless of how much time passes we still view you as a best friend.

what, I'm number three, is it really that rare People always value my thoughts and opinions, I explain it to people I meet as I like to be nice to my friends but if they do something or say something that makes the rest of the world laugh or criticize him or her, 98 percent of the time I just can't explain why I lied, this only works well with a nonjudgmental and minimal biases approach and a high level of empathy and sympathy - people I've met and known who are like this tend to have very high understanding when it comes to sensibility, practicality, fairness, equality, justice
reply

I always to befriend everyone because I am a mix of all except for the harsh critique and i sometimes don't tell truth because it may hurt them and my best friend used to be a narcissist and a harsh critiquebasically just use mefor 9 yearsbut I distanced myself from him and he became scared to face me because he got beaten up when he saw and triggered my anger beast
I almost killed him
But I don't regret it
Thank for listening I will tell you more in your upcoming videos your videos were my encourage at my lowest I wish you best, psych2go community or crew

1: 00 Thats one of the major differences I've discovered between me and the rest of the world. I HATE being challenged or changing in any way. I am very set in what I like and what I don't and I resist any change that goes against that. My comfort zone is where I belong, going outside it is to bring suffering with absolutely no reward. It's a waste of time and energy that could be better spent being happy. I'm glad this whole broading your horizons thing works for everybody else but 23 years of life has taught me that it does not for me.

I really dislike texting over interacting in person and it's kind of a problem, especially when it comes to online friends. I have this one online friend i've been friends with for awhile, but it feels like pulling teeth trying to get myself to talk to them. It's not that i don't enjoy their company, its just that i usually find text conversations boring and hard to read. It sucks because i know that if i knew them in real life i would probably be best friends with them. It sucks.
reply

Ouch, that kind of hurts. I'm one of those rare types of friends. I mean, I'm glad I'm unique, but it kind of stings when I know not everyone feels comfortable telling the full truth. Still, I always remind them that they can share both the good and the bad with me because I know it will make them feel a lot better when they don't have to hide something they're comfortable saying. I guess that's why I don't have many friends, but the ones I do have are true friends (Get it XD.
reply

I think friendship is the thing I value most in this world. I am really lucky there, my feiends are blood and we will do anything to help and uplift eachother, especially my bro Jesse. He has been there for me through thick and thin, and I would die for that dude. Been friends for 30 years now. Lol I am 3. don't sugar coat shite. It pisses people off regularly, but my psychosis doesn't allow for sugar coating. But I mean well with it, I just prefer people be that way with me.
reply

I am none of these friends. My friends don't even seem like my friends tbh. But I'd probably be the truth teller. I normally say what's on my mind. While sometimes I don't say the truth, I usually do. For example, if I do a take that's garbage imma be like, The hell was that XD I like giving myself conversations to up my social skills so that it's not just the casual greeting like hi how are you good, you I'm doing good as well and then just silence y'know
reply

I'm known as the bug friend
I shove bugs in my friends' faces
Ok thats not true. At my school, I'm known as the girl who calmly captured a live wasp and let it outside while a group of guys were screaming in fear about it
I dont talk about insects TOO much, but in my friend group, my friends know that if they see a weird bug somewhere, or want to know more about a certain species, they tell me. Im proud

I liked this one guy at my school, I told my besties. One of them encourage me to confess and another was like Girl, he's a red flag. I didn't believe my bestie that said that and one day, I found out that he was dating two girls! Like wt Now I regret for not believing in my bestie. Watching this vid, I'm glad to find out that my bestie is a truth teller: )
reply

I was watching like: damn, none of these seem like m- spontanius distruptor damn, they fr spy on me with cameras.
My friendgroup probably finds me annoying as hell, but usually I m the only one nagging them out of their comfort zone for adventures like cycling around a lake, going across a mountain or visiting random diners across country.

reply

Im personally a truth teller, and i know im not a harsh critic, since i dont really criticize much, but when i do i try to give proper solutions instead of just critiqing without a solution! But also at the same time ive noticed myself very rapidly becoming a busy bee since i havent been to my friends house in a long while due to lifes challenges
reply

Omg thank you for the busy bee one. I have ADHD while it's not an excuse but I find it hard to reply people on a daily basis and if I am exhausted I get too overwhelmed. But I love my friends, sometimes it's hard for me to make them believe I value them cause to them my actions say something else but I do care about them.
