Todos tenemos ese amigo que es brutalmente sincero y, francamente, a veces nos pone de los nervios. A veces su sinceridad es lo último que queremos oír.

Pero de lo que no somos conscientes es de que el honesty our ‘mean’ friend lays on us is exactly what we need y tienen que oír en ese momento.

Nadie necesita un amigo que esté de acuerdo con todo lo que dices. Ese no es un verdadero amigo, es alguien que quiere quedar bien contigo.

Lo que toda persona de este planeta necesita es alguien que nos haga volver a la tierra y nos impida hacer estupideces.

Un poco de amor duro de vez en cuando es algo que todos tenemos que escuchar.

No one says it’s easy to have a friend like that because it’s not easy to hear something you don’t want to hear. Those ‘mean’ things your friend is going to say to you borderline on being completely rude and you can’t avoid getting hurt by it.

But don’t take it the wrong way because only your best friend is the one who will say everything right to your face. They will tell you the truth no matter how harsh it is.

Por eso tu amigo malo es el mejor que puedes tener:

1. Nunca te dejará mandar mensajes borracho a tu ex

She knows it’s a huge mistake and even if you go ahead and do it, she will make you feel like shit. Firstly, she’ll tell you it’s a bad idea because you have to supéralo.

But, of course, you won’t listen and you’ll get drunk and text him. Sure, since that person is your best friend, you will tell her all about it and she’ll lay some really harsh truth and tough love on you.

It’s not something you want to hear because you want to be encouraged but it’s something you have to hear and deep down you know it!

2. Se cagará en tu top

You will go shopping with her and you’ll try it on. She’ll talk you out of it but you’ll go back and buy it anyway.

The thing is, you won’t hear the end of it. Every time you put it on, she will shit all over it once again. Listen to your friend, maybe that top was a truly risky buy.

3. She won’t hesitate to tell you how she feels about your new boyfriend

You are her person. You are her best friend. She is not being jealous and she doesn’t envy you about your new relationship. She just acts the way she feels.

Y si no está muy segura de tu nuevo novio, te lo dirá sin dudarlo. Sólo busca lo mejor para ti. Sólo quiere evitarte un posible desengaño amoroso.

No está siendo mala. Sólo está siendo honesta porque se preocupa por ti.

4. She’ll talk you out of cutting bangs

You had them a few years ago and they did not look good on you. She’ll say it right to your face. And what’s even more important, she’ll remind you that you hated bangs and you couldn’t wait for them to grow out.

You forgot all of that and you’re in a phase where you want to change something, so the first thing you want to do that is not so extreme is change your hair a bit.

Si te quiere y te quedaba fatal el flequillo, intentará evitar que te lo cortes.

5. She’ll tell you to go to the gym

If she notices that you got lazy and that you went up a size, she’ll tell you to lay off the sweets and junk food and get your ass to the gym.

Now, isn’t that something only a true friend would do? Others would keep their mouths shut and let you gain weight just so as to not hurt your feelings but she will say everything straight up and you’ll thank her later.

6. She’ll tell you to stop whining over your ex

She’ll tell you to get over him and stop acting broken and sigue adelante con tu vidae. She won’t walk around on eggshells trying not to say something that’ll hurt you.

She knows that you are a big girl and she knows how much you’re worthy, so she’ll try to snap you out of it and get you to forget about his sorry ass.

That’s love!
