The Parental Friend
We wouldn't be surprised if your friends usually tell you what a great parent you'd make (or already make) because you have so much affection to give, and you're good at comforting others. You are the kind of friend who are always worrying about their friends' well-being, bringing them food when they're sick, or reminding them to check that medical issue they have been avoiding. When they achieve success, your friends love telling you about it because they know you'll be excited and supportive. You're the kind of friend we all need, who is parental but fun to be around.
Every group of friends has this person - the anchor - who keeps everyone together. That's YOU. It could be your friends would never remain as a group if not for you, and they would have missed out on great experiences and friendships. You may have your own problems, but you'll always be loyal to your friends and there when they really need you. This kind of steadfast support is what makes these people gather around you and keep being friends because of it. They know that whatever happens, you'll be there, as real and supportive — a pillar of friendship.
Society these days is terrible at telling people the harsh truth and not some pleasant lie. Most people will say whatever you want them to say. But everyone needs to hear the truth from time to time, as painful as it may be. This is what your friends expect of you. Whether you need to tell someone they need help or are dating the wrong person; your friends can come to you to hear the real, unvarnished truth. At the same time, they know you won't ignore their opinions and give your honest feedback. This makes you the perfect soundboard and a real help when no one else will be honest.
When your friends go through hard times, whether at work or in their relationships, they always count on your to listen to them while they unburden themselves of their pain and stress. This is something they can do with you because they know you will never judge them and listen. You have that rare patience for other people's pain that only the best of friends can manage, and no matter how long their tale is, you'll be there with a tissue to listen and make it better. Your friends know this and, as a result, are incredibly loyal to you, appreciating your supportive friendships.
You're the kind of friend everyone wants when it's time to go on an adventure. You've been to many places and have had many experiences, which makes you a great sharer of anecdotes and interesting. information. More importantly, you have the kind of open mind that makes sure every adventure or trip with you will have great memories and include several spontaneous adventures they could have only gotten into with you. Whether it's a small outing or a big trip - you're the perfect friend to hang out with.
