friend group compatibility test

So, you wanna know if your bunch of pals really click, huh? It’s like checkin’ if your chickens all lay eggs in the same coop, ya know? Makes life easier when everyone’s on the same page, ain’t it?

First off, think about what y’all like doin’ together. If everyone’s happy sittin’ around a table playin’ cards, that’s good. But if half the group wants to go hike a mountain and the other half wants to stay home and knit, well, you got a problem. It’s like tryin’ to make a cat and a dog be friends, sometimes it just don’t work.

See, some folks like the quiet life, sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ the grass grow.
Others, they need a bit more excitement, like a rooster chasin’ a hen.

You gotta figure out what your group is. Are you porch-sittin’ types or rooster-chasin’ types? Or maybe a mix?

Then there’s how you all talk to each other. Some folks are as gentle as a lamb, while others are prickly like a porcupine. If someone says somethin’ that rubs you the wrong way, do you tell ’em or just hold it in like a hen holdin’ back an egg? A good group can talk things out without peckin’ each other’s eyes out.

And what happens when things get tough? Like when someone’s got a sick cow or their roof starts leakin’. Do your friends show up with a casserole and a hammer, or do they scatter like chickens when a hawk flies by? A real friend group sticks together through thick and thin, like mud on a boot.

Now, don’t go thinkin’ you gotta be exactly the same to get along. That’s boring, like a whole garden of just potatoes. You need some tomatoes and cucumbers in there to make things interesting. But you gotta have enough in common so you ain’t pullin’ each other in different directions, like a stubborn mule.

Maybe you’re wonderin’ if there’s a way to test all this, like checkin’ if the milk’s gone sour. Well, there are fancy tests out there, all about personalities and such, but I say the best test is just watchin’ how you all act when you’re together. Do you laugh a lot? Do you feel comfortable just bein’ yourself? Do you feel like you can trust them with your secrets, like where you hid the good preserves?

If you’re answerin’ yes to most of that, then you probably got a good bunch. But if you’re feelin’ more like you’re herdin’ cats than hangin’ with friends, maybe it’s time to find some new folks to roost with. Life’s too short to spend it with people who make you feel like a hen pecked over.

So, take a good look at your friends. Are they your kinda people? Do they make your life better, like sunshine on a summer day? If so, hold on to ’em tight, ’cause good friends are harder to find than a four-leaf clover in a field of weeds.
