15 Life Theories That Every Friend Should Abide By

Friends are for life, which is why you need to put them as one of your priorities in your imaginary list. Good friends don’t come around often and when they do, you should know the golden theories of friendship. These life theories help you identify the good friends from the fair weather ones.

If you’ve got some who believe in this and would check every box on the list, then hold onto them. I know I did.

1. You should always stand up for them, even if they are wrong because it’s us against the world.

And if they are indeed wrong, tell them in person, not in public.

 

2. If they are taking a bad decision, tell them once, tell them again, but if they still want to do it, support them. Because you have to be there to hold the sky when it’s falling.

No matter how stupid or how wrong, they are your soulmates. That counts for much more than the pleasure of saying I told you so.

 

3. Their friend is your friend, their enemy is first on your ‘To murder’ list.

To get with me, you need to get along with my friends. Spice girls say it like it is.

 

4. A boy who treats your friend like crap is going to be ignored, sneered at and shamed.

Yes, this one’s for the girls, we don’t need guys taking our thunder, instead, we stick together and bruise their ego one sarcastic comment at a time.

 

5. When biryani is made, it’s absolutely necessary to bring a two person serving in your dabba.

Biryani is a way of life and you can’t enjoy it alone.

 

6. Even if you’re in a big fight, a life crisis has to be given priority over silliness.

Fights will resolve themselves but you have to stick together when it matters.

 

7. Even if they are half across the world, you make an effort to know every detail of their life, so much so that you feel a part of it.

 

8. There is no concept of personal space between best friends, you can talk about the hole in your underwear like it’s the most normal thing.

 

9. If their parents call and ask if they’re with you, you blindly say ‘Yes Aunty, he/she is in the bathroom, I’ll ask her to call you right away’.

Even though you didn’t get a heads up before.

 

10. When you feel they are upset, you go over armed with alcohol, food, chocolate and just be around, even if they don’t want to talk.

 

11. If someone messes with them, you are the one they have to deal with.

 

12. Only you have the sole right to make fun of them, if anyone else even tries, you’d be the one to put them in their place.

 

13. You have to do the ugly stuff with them, go to the dentist, doctor or gynec, when there are no parents to go with.

 

14. They have infinite ‘No questions asked’ privileges.

Just like in How I Met Your Mother, your best friends get a whole supply of no questions asked.

 

15. No matter how big a fight you have, never ever target your friend’s weakness or character.

Protect it like it’s your own Horcrux.
