How Good A Friend Are You?
OK,
so you try to be there for your
friends but when you're doing these
favours, is it really them you're
thinking of first-or yourself?
Take this quiz to see if you pass
the friendship test.
by Jane McCune
1. Your best friend calls you in
tears - she's just found out that
her parents are getting divorced.
What do you do?
a. You chat about it for
a bit, always bringing the conversation
back to your own parent hassles.
You also get sick of this sad conversation
pretty quickly.
b. You offer to meet her
and talk for as long as she needs,
even though you know she'd be too
busy for you if the situation was
reversed.
c. You let her pour her heart
out about it for as long as she
needs to talk, and you let her know
you're there anytime she needs you.
2. Your friend is meant to meet
you for a movie, but she calls at
the last minute to cancel because
a guy has asked her out. How are
you feeling when you get off the
phone?
a. Annoyed that she didn't
make the date for another night
and decided to swipe you instead.
Next time you talk to her you make
the suggestion to not to stand each
other up for guys.
b. Majorly pissed off that
she's dropped you, so you call all
your other friends and bitch about
her.
c. You're cool with it -
you're used to people blowing you
off when they get a better offer.
3. You're shopping with some friends
and one of them tries on a really
unflattering outfit. What do you
say?
a. That it looks great -
you wouldn't want to hurt her feelings.
b. That it looks really bad.
Then you go and try it on yourself,
even though you know she'll be really
upset if it looks much better on
you.
c. You're honest with her
but in the nicest possible way.
You don't want to hurt her feelings,
but you don't want her to look bad,
either.
4. You're at a party and your best
friend is about to get a ride home
with a guy who's had way too much
beer. What do you do?
a. You tell her she's being
silly but you don't do anything
to stop her.
b. You stop her from going
with the guy, then you take her
home in a cab. Even though the next
day she gets mad at you for ruining
the chances with the stupid guy!
c. You stop her and you keep
an eye on her for the rest of the
party, then you arrange for a friend
who lives near her to get her home
safely.
