Answers
Mostly As: Congrats, you’re the Monica Geller of your group. You’re the one tidying your friends’ rooms when you visit them, stitching their torn shirt, helping them prepare for their interviews, and looking after them post a party. You’re your friends’ go-to person and they need your opinion on almost everything. You’re the nurturer and your message box on Mother’s Day is inundated with wishes. But be careful; you may often end up overdoing things.
Mostly Bs: You’re the chilled out one. While you care for your friends, you also know when to give them space, thereby knowing where to draw the line. You’re thoughtful, yet not over-the-top; with no hang-ups, you are most-sought after because of the same reason.
Mostly Cs: It’s indeed a blessing if you manage taking care of yourself. You’re carefree and don’t take things seriously. Your friends don’t wish to discuss matters that need some serious advice. Often, you’re the one the mommy of the group needs to look after. But it’s not like you don’t care for your friends; rather, you are of the belief that things take their own course.
