The “theory of 7 friends” (the 7 friends you need in your life), is now very popular on social media, especially on TikTok.

The “7 friend theory” which claims that we all need seven friends, each of whom has a different role in our lives.

Who are the friends who are essential in our life

• A friend from your childhood
• The one who makes you laugh even in the most difficult moment
• The friend you don’t need to talk to very often, but every time it feels like you talked yesterday
• The friend who can listen to everything without criticizing you
• The one who could be your brother
• The one you can’t imagine not being in your life
• The one you want to tell all your love stories to, even though you know he’s bored

Let’s see our friends in detail

Your childhood friend: You know that friend that feels like home to you because they’ve known you your whole life. That’s him. You may have been neighbors growing up, classmates, or your parents were close friends. There is a great comfort between you that is connected to your shared history.

The friend who could make you laugh in any situation: He is always ready for fun, ready to follow you everywhere. His company has a liberating action.

The friend you haven’t spoken to in ages, but nothing changes: You may live on opposite sides of the world or have very different lifestyles, but every time you pick up the phone to talk, it’s like you spoke yesterday.

The friend you can tell everything to: You know he will accept you knowing your biggest secrets. He won’t embarrass you and won’t tell anyone.

He who is family: He knows your family, he’ll open your fridge to get something to drink without asking. You know he will be in your life forever.

The one you can’t imagine not being friends with: You talk every day. He knows what is happening to you and is with you.

The friend who knows all about your relationship problems, even though he’s tired of hearing it: If you have a friend who you constantly tell about your relationship problems, he’s sure to send you to a…psychologist at some point.
