Todos nós temos aquele amigo que é brutalmente honesto e, francamente, às vezes isso irrita-nos. Por vezes, a sua honestidade é a última coisa que queremos ouvir.

Mas o que não sabemos é que o honesty our ‘mean’ friend lays on us is exactly what we need e têm de ouvir nesse momento.

Ninguém precisa de um amigo que concorda com tudo o que diz. Isso não é um verdadeiro amigo, é alguém que quer ficar do seu lado.

O que todas as pessoas neste planeta precisam é de alguém que nos traga de volta à terra e nos impeça de fazer coisas estúpidas.

Um pouco de amor duro de vez em quando é algo que todos nós temos de ouvir.

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.

É por isso que o teu amigo mau é o melhor que podes ter:

1. Ela nunca te deixará enviar uma mensagem de texto bêbado à tua 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 ultrapassa-o.

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. Ela vai cagar em cima do teu 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 ela não tiver a certeza absoluta do seu novo namorado, dir-lhe-á isso sem hesitar. Ela só está a zelar pelos seus interesses. Está apenas a tentar salvá-la de um potencial desgosto.

Ela não está a ser má de uma forma má. Está apenas a ser honesta porque gosta de si.

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 ela te ama e se ficares horrível com franja, ela vai tentar impedir-te de a cortares.

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 seguir em frente com a sua 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!
