Re: Do the women represent the specific types of friend each woman should have?
We do not have to go out there and start to pick our friends. We just have to try to understand acquaintances of different sorts which will bring them to the friendship circle.
It's been hard for me to let people in but of late I've been trying. I just do not like surrounding myself with fake friends. Most are.

While being an Amanda yourself, you would and wouldn't want to befriend a Veronica depending on HOW you view her and your life. If you strive to become like her, free-spirited and haven't lost hope, you would befriend her for the heck of it! but if it's vice versa you'd probably be too jealous to befriend a woman as successful as Veronica.

I completely agree with this! I don't need my life to be like Sex in the City or a novel that needs a variety of characters to make it interesting. I hate confrontation, so spending time with people who don't click with me just sounds like a chore. Plus, I would never go out and see someone who's a different race, age, social status, etc. and think, "Wow, I don't have someone like them in my friend group. I should be befriend them!" That's just ridiculous.

I also agree. The Chinese have a curse, they say "May you live in interesting times". Life is better when it's a little uninteresting. Thus it's fine for my circle of friends to not have so much diversity. Do not misunderstand me, I have nothing against diversity but I wouldn't actively search for it.katiesquilts wrote: ↑06 Apr 2018, 18:41I completely agree with this!

I totally get it. It's the same for me. Once I've left the office, made dinner, checked homeworks and driven kids around, done laundry and (hopefully) read a few pages of a book, it's always past ten. Where do I even find time for friendships? It speaks volume that the only person I can call "friend" lives 6000 miles away. That's how far I had to virtually go to find someone who encapsulates all the friendship categories I need to remain mentally sane.Lest92 wrote: ↑10 Feb 2018, 14:28 I have acquaintances, but no real friends, though I think that having these archetypal friends around might be good for me. Nevertheless, one is lucky if one finds new friends in adulthood, since everyone starts getting set in their ways and more focused on their husbands, careers, and kids at this stage. Friendship like this kind seems to become an afterthought, if at all.

This is absolutely true. Having different personality types in your circle of friends will help one to learn a lot about how they view or approach issues in life.teacherjh wrote: ↑18 Apr 2018, 13:07 Women in general seek out more intimate friendships than men. I am blessed with friends that challenge my beliefs, friends that support my dreams, and friends who are fiercely loyal to me. These are things my personality type needs to be complete. Other personality types probably seek out others to complement them. I have also found great joy in getting to know people who are very different than myself. We have much to learn from each other.
