Just that really. How would you describe yourself truthfully?

MrsTerryPratchett · 10/10/2018 02:00

Flaky but worth it.

PanchoBarnes · 10/10/2018 02:27

Fiercely loyal.
Strong shoulder to lean on.
Soft-hearted, but not a mug.
Often comedic.
Sometimes brutally (but always lovingly) honest.
Can be ornery, but acknowledge it.

MVLipwig · 10/10/2018 02:29

Anxious. Loyal. A feeder. Funny. Harsh.

LurpakIsTheOnlyButter · 10/10/2018 02:32

The type everyone should have and nobody should be.

A giver of everything, you can have the shirt from my back.

FabulousTomatoes · 10/10/2018 03:03

A bit wary at first.
Happy to help out and listen but not willing to get involved in drama.
Friendly and accommodating but only if there’s give and take.
A little over-sensitive, but I try to keep it hidden for fear of being seen as ‘hard work’.
Loyal, trustworthy and hate to let people down or upset them.
Very guarded with my personal thoughts.
Quite detached from most and close to a very select few!

FabulousTomatoes · 10/10/2018 03:05

I am always scared of over-investing in others emotionally, as I’ve been hurt a few times when I’ve realised that the friendship means more to me than it does to them. I struggle tbh, although I don’t think people realise quite how much as I have a pretty easy-going, upbeat and fun nature.

PanchoBarnes · 10/10/2018 04:37

@Lurpakis
...what size do you wear? Grin

Thursdaydreaming · 10/10/2018 05:24

The boring, last resort friend.

Monty27 · 10/10/2018 05:32

I'm not sure because I don't have any Wink
I am loyal, trustworthy and I expect the same back.
I am lucky to have a few around me. I am also fussy. But worth it hopefully. Smile

ThisIsTheFirstStep · 10/10/2018 05:35

A bit cold.
Hard to get to know.
Funny.
Loyal but no one really knows because don’t let them close.

AuntBeastie · 10/10/2018 06:31

Generous, flaky but practical, bad at texting, people-pleaser, good at plans, funny, kind.

DragonGoby · 10/10/2018 06:40

Loyal - I have several friends from over 25 years ago.

Good at keeping in touch and organising social stuff.

Chatty and upbeat. Will rarely burden you with my problems with the exception of a good MIL rant

Sometimes flaky but only because I say yes to too many things, not because I'm fundamentally unreliable.

I sometimes offend people (even good friends) by putting my foot in it. I'll try to make it up to you if I do!

Not very touchy feely but will give you a hug if you need one.

distantstars · 10/10/2018 06:46

People pleaser, very reliable. Contrary, loyal, but also anxious, and over think situations meaning I can lack confidence in a relationship.

MissusGeneHunt · 10/10/2018 06:50

A periphery friend (ie I'm never part of the in crowd) but hugely loyal, forgiving, and willing to pick up on drifted friendships 20 years on. Won't be used. Hopefully a radiator and not a drain.

ContessasGulagSpaDay · 10/10/2018 06:51

A bit odd and self-centred but generally kind and eager to help if possible with life's ups and downs. Really emotionally insensitive from time to time and not very clued up on appropriate social behaviour (see earlier comment re oddness). Probably considered an oversharer.

I could go on Grin

AfterSchoolWorry · 10/10/2018 06:56

Avoidant !

Mustang27 · 10/10/2018 08:41

Would do anything for my friends even to the detriment of myself..

I think that makes me a sad loser 😂

ShatnersWig · 10/10/2018 08:45

Drop anything at any time, spending hours listening to your problems, loyal, protective, fair, honest with no bullshit.

I regularly get told by my closest friends that I am the most dependable friend they have and am always their "go to" person if they need advice or the shit has hit the fan.

Unfortunately I find some friends don't return the favour and take the piss. They soon get weeded out.

GreenMeerkat · 10/10/2018 08:47

Hard to get to know as I'm so shy.
Dedicated and loyal to my close friends as I don't have many.
