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.

Woohoo — according to your responses, you're the supportive friend! So what does that mean 👉 You're calm, consistent, and oh so passionate about lifting your loved ones up. When it comes to friendship, you usually put others before yourself. It's important to you that your people feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether that means sitting with them in silence or and listening to their problems and providing input, you're game. Here's the thing though, sometimes spending so much energy shining your light for others might leave you feeling a little drained. Remember, you can always ask your loved ones for help, too.
