Are you a good friend?
Here’s what your answers reveal:
If you chose mostly As, you’re probably someone who is honest with your friends. Even though the truth sometimes may not be wanted, it is best that things be brought into light in order to maintain the friendship. You are also a friend that can be depended on and trusted in times of need.
If you have mostly Bs and Cs as your answers, you might be hiding your true self from other people and going with the crowd. It is important that you state your mind and be yourself, even if it isn’t what people want to see. You also cannot be counted on as a friend and use anger a lot to get back even. The best way to resolve any situation is to talk it through.”
