The Three Types of Friends

Presented by Unleash Your Power, featuring speakers Marwaan Fredericks and Zainab Ebrahim. This talk centres around the three types of friends you will meet in your lifetime. 

Have you ever had a really close friend and now they just not there anymore, and you were left wondering what happened to your friendship? Are you having difficulty identifying which of your friends you can trust?

Friendship is a relationship of mutual affection between people. It is a stronger form of interpersonal bond than an association. It is one of the most important relations one can have. As stated in most sayings “having a friend is a blessing in disguise.” The difficult thing nowadays is to understand whether the friendship is real or not. The truth is all friendships are real we just need to understand in which category they fall. There will be three categories of friends you will meet in your entire lifetime. The thing that separates them from each other, are motives. Through understanding their motives you can determine the following:

• Which category of friend they are
• Who you can trust?
• What to share with each type of friend
• How to tell them a part
• To not feel disappointed when your friend is no longer the person you thought they were

 The friendship bond is made through trust and sincerity. Without a proper understanding between both people a friendship can not be successful. In todays time, it can be tough to identify the  nature of people. We can not see whether the person is loyal or not. Often we think of friendship as a good way to pass time.
