Quiz: What Type of Friend Are You?
Why do we stay friends with some people for decades while drifting apart from others after just a couple of months? It’s not just about shared interests or compatible schedules. Each of us has our own friendship style – a set of habits and behavioral patterns that determine how we build close relationships. Our quiz will help you figure out what type of friend you are and understand why your friendships unfold the way they do.
