This friend can never hang out for long because they have to get home to their family. You've babysat for them a bunch of times and you typically don't mind because you love their kids. They seem to have it all. A great career, a spouse that loves them, beautiful children and a huge house.

You're there for them whenever they need you because you remember how you used to turn up together back in the day!

This friend is always on the prowl for a mate. They've been single for years but they won't give up. You've tried hooking them up with some of your other friends but it usually falls through some way or another. This friend needs your guidance though. They hold on a little too tight sometimes and you have to keep it real more often than not. But at the core of everything, you just want them to be happy. It'll take a special someone to lock them down.

This friend is forever ready to throw them hands. You're always calming them down. They get offended at the slightest comment and it's usually at the worst times.

They will defend your honor at any given moment and ultimately, that's why you keep them around.

Up with it, down with it, forget those who don't do it. WE do it cause we used to it, now drink! It is always five o’clock somewhere when they're around. They show up to any, and I mean any, occasion with the liquor. They know how to mix every drink in the book. They can always find a reason to drink. You call them when you need a good turn up! Unfortunately, you constantly have to drag this friend to safety when the night is done. But keep it real, you know you had a blast and you'll be ready when they call next weekend. (or tomorrow)

8. The Annoying Best Friend

This friend is always in dire need. They're dramatic AF. They blow your phone up just to ask if you've seen the latest episode of Empire. They need your opinion on everything! It seems like they won't brush their teeth if you don't tell them what type of toothpaste to use. They call you every day before work, on your lunch break and after work. And you better not miss their call because then you'd have to explain yourself. They get jealous of your other friends too. Sometimes you wonder if this friend confuses you for their spouse. But you put up with them because you love their charisma and loyalty. They keep you laughing and you know they'd be there whenever you need them. If only you could find some balance.

9. The Needy Best Friend

This friend is also always in need. But usually, it requires more than just your attention. They are forever hitting you up for favors. "Can I borrow that shirt?", "Can you come pick me up?", "Can I borrow $20?" It's always something with them. They always need help, stay wearing your clothes, and you never see those DVDs again when you let them borrow. But (s)he is your ride or die and you know they'd do the same for you if you're in a pinch. Why can't thier pinches happen a little less often tho…
