1.You are... The Powerhouse Friend!Woohoo — according to your responses, you're the powerhouse friend! So what does that mean 👉 When you know what you want, you go out there and get it #noapologies. When it comes to friendship, your people look up to you for your drive and determination. They wonder how you manage to get everything on your schedule done and still have time to kick it with them. Here's the thing though, sometimes you're blunt, outspoken style might come off a bit intimidating, and you might find it hard to make new connections. Don't be afraid to let your soft side show, friend!“Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare — and precious as a pearl.” — Tahar Ben Jelloun3 Tips to Help You Build Friendships That Stand the Test of Time 👇1. Prioritize, Prioritize, PrioritizeBuilding and nurturing strong relationships takes time and energy, which means you might have to get a bit more selective about who you invite into your life. While having a phonebook's worth of acquaintances can be comforting, it may be more rewarding to focus in on a few close friendships and make a point of tending to them regularly. Consider who you learn from, who challenges you, and who lights you up!2. Show Them You CareWhen it comes to nurturing relationships, a little really can go a long way! You don't have to spend hours catching up with your friend to show them you care — small gestures like making a meal for them, sending them your new Spotify playlist, or turning up at their milestone events demonstrates that you're thinking about your friend even if your schedule is too busy to fit in much face time.3. Schedule Them InI don't have to tell you that life is fast-paced! Between school or work and family responsibilities, it's probably pretty difficult finding space in your schedule to laugh it up with your friends, but it's so worth it!
