What are the types of friendship?

Answer 1

I view 5 types of friendship

1. You have "hey um...I know your face but I cant think of your name". This is the person who is pleasant, but you don't spend enough time with them to be on a first name basis.

2. You have "acquaintance". These are the people who know your name and carry conversations with you from time to time. You never hang out with them or anything, but they might sit beside you in class and talk to you during breaks, but you probably never talk to them outside of school or work.

3. You have the "common interests. These are the friends you have only because you do something together (classes, band, sports...ect). These are the people your pretty close to during practice or when your doing that "common interests" together. But your not so close outside of the "common comfort zone".

4. You have the "Friend". The "friend" comes in 3 sub categories

*1) The "Herbivore" is the talker. He talks to you when ever one of you wants to talk. It can be about anything, anywhere or anytime. The "Herbivore" is normally a school friend that has alot of classes with you, or has breaks at the same time you do. This friend is what happens when the "common interest" evolves into a closer relationship. You both have common interest and you get along great anytime. The "Herbivore" is the friend that will see you sit down in a public place, get up from were he's sitting, and come sit with you and talk, thus making them the 2nd closest level of "Friend"

*2) The "Carnivore" is the do-er. The "Carnivore" is the friend that has to be doing something with you or he looses interest and leaves. The "Carnivore" lacks the potential to get close to you like the "Herbivore". But if you ever wanna go hang or do something, you know you can call the "Carnivore" and they'll be there. Since the "Carnivore" always requires action to be satisfied, they tend to be the most distant friend.

*3) The "Omnivore" is the ideal "Friend". They talk to you, and they hang with you. The "Omnivore" is what happens when the "Carnivore" or the "Herbivore" relationship evolves into the next stage of friendship.

5. The "Best Friend" is pretty much your brother. They know all that there is to know about you. Their always there for you when you need them, they are the embodiment of a "true friend"

There are various types of friendships, including casual friendships based on shared activities or interests, close friendships characterized by emotional intimacy and support, and long-distance friendships that are maintained despite distance and time apart. Other types include childhood friendships, work friendships, and online friendships. Each type offers unique benefits and challenges.
