YOGYAKARTA Types of people in friendship can be likened to trees that have leaves, stems, and roots. In friendship, you will find a number of types of people you meet as follows.

This type of friend, like leaves, will only come seasonally. Because it has the'season' type, don't depend on them or rely on them. This attachment to the first type of friendship, is weak enough and will disappear once the situation is windy or colder. Even so, this type of friendship, which is like this leaf, may offer temporary shade. But they're there to take what they need from you.

It's important to understand, it doesn't mean that someone with a friend-like type of leaf is evil. But they don't want or can't be by their friend's side in joy and sorrow. So this one-season type of friendship can't last forever.

Unlike previous types of friends, friendships that are like tree branches can last longer, even seasons. The attachment in this second type of friendship is stronger than dry leaves and fall when the season turns dry. But it should be noted, when pressure comes, friends like tree branches are not necessarily strong in overcoming it. So for long-term friendship, friends like this will avoid high-risk relationships.

If you and your friends have friends like roots, take it as luck and need to be appreciated. The reason is, people who make friends like tree roots are always next to their friends. No matter how bad the situation is, they will remain friends and go through all kinds of burdens and storms.

People like roots, citing the explanation of professors of Health Policy and Management at the City University of New York (CUNY), Bruce Y. Lee, MD., MBA. reported by Psychology Today, Sunday, May 19, did not tell them they were root people. They are satisfied to be at the bottom and other things that are needed to keep you upright. This is what is called a lifelong type of friendship, because they can be trusted and withstand by storms.

To recognize what your type of friendship is, or you are friends, pay attention to how steadfast and determined to maintain friendships even in difficult conditions.
