Tutti abbiamo un amico che è brutalmente onesto e, francamente, a volte ci dà sui nervi. A volte la loro onestà è l'ultima cosa che vorremmo sentire.

Ma ciò di cui non siamo consapevoli è che la honesty our ‘mean’ friend lays on us is exactly what we need e di dover ascoltare in quel momento.

Nessuno ha bisogno di un amico che sia d'accordo con tutto ciò che dite. Questo non è un vero amico, è qualcuno che vuole stare dalla vostra parte.

Ogni persona su questo pianeta ha bisogno di qualcuno che ci riporti a terra e ci impedisca di fare cose stupide.

Un po' di amore severo ogni tanto è qualcosa che tutti noi dobbiamo sentire.

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.

Ecco perché l'amico cattivo è il migliore che si possa avere:

1. Non vi permetterà mai di mandare un messaggio da ubriachi alla vostra 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 dimenticarlo.

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. Ti cagherà addosso il crop 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.

E se non è del tutto sicura del vostro nuovo fidanzato, ve lo dirà senza esitazione. Sta solo cercando di tutelare i vostri interessi. Sta solo cercando di salvarvi da un potenziale colpo di fulmine.

Non è cattiva in senso negativo. È solo onesta perché ci tiene a te.

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.

Se vi ama e se stavate malissimo con la frangia, cercherà di impedirvi di tagliarla.

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 andare avanti con la tua vitae. 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!
