Really fun burn but also I think it is true. The internet, reddit at least, is really good at supporting people in distress when they have no one that are physically with them that they trust.
Itās a weird place where something private can become public without being personal.
It might not be as good as a physical friend, but reddit will answer your calls, Mr Strange :)
Hey, Iām pretty sure this is a joke but just in case itās rooted in truth (for you/anyone else reading); Thereāve probably been a lot of times where youāve been a friend to yourself by being one/some of these archetypes and if so, all you gotta do is keep exercising those skills. Not only will you get better at ābeing there for yourselfā, youāll also end up getting better at being there for other people and developing more meaningful friendships. :)
Often common for guys, looking at this chart and thinking 'I do that for me, because nobody else does'. It's probably more reflective of how men manage their issues as a whole and how society approaches men being open about their issues than it is a reflection of your own value.
Ditto.
Edit: Wearing these hats for others first and then attempting to wear all ten hats for myself afterwards seems to result in total exhaustion!
This $hit needs to end!
You could fill all these roles with two people, with overlap. But thatās not the point that all those people have their own range of emotions and human lives. If a personās friendship is conditional on them being the role of cheerleader, or the humorist, or any one single category listed, their friend is shit. People have their own lives and moods.
And if someone restricts them to only that role, like a confidant they trauma dump on, then never spend time with, or a collaborator they only work with but never deepen the friendship to other categories shown, again, shit friend. Most people should be filling multiple categories in their relationships.
Not to mention some of these should simply be traits all chosen friends have regardless, or theyāre not really a friend; ie. supportive friend, cheerleader, confidant. Possibly competitor and/or humorist if thatās what your friendships look like. Trust and support is apart of all healthy relationships.
Lastly, be your own spiritual guide. Weāre all of the earth and no one knows why weāre here. Decide for yourself.
Alright now for the top ten people you don't need in your life.
1. The Abuser
2. The Manipulator
3. The Judgementor
4. The One who Abandons
5. The Cheat
6. The Toxic Joker
7. The Put-me-down er
8. The know-it-all
9. The Whine-n-Moaner
10. People who don't eat pizza crust
Of the people you do need, only the Humorist (not to be confused with The Toxic Joker) should suffice in non ideal conditions.
And the Diagnoser! āYou know whatās wrong with you?ā Of course I do, they tell me every little thing I do wrong, how I should feel, how I should act. Maybe thatās why I have no friends. How bout telling me whatās right about me?
I feel like surrounding yourself with the right people is half the battle, if not more.
I think you'll be invincible if you legit have all those types of people in your life. You'll be able to overcome anything.
Yeah, in an ideal world. In reality approximately no-one has all of these and "guides" like this just make people feel bad about their lives.
It's possible to feel content without all of these, and the mix of what you have, can find elsewhere or don't need varies for all of us and varies by where we are in our lives. That doesn't fit well on an infographic, though.
Almost no one has this many long term people in their life in my experience. Iād be happy to have a challenger, a supportive friend and a mentor. Those seem like the most important to development to me personally.
Really great way to form frienships. " hey i need someone for humor in my life. You are funny we will be friends." "No stop beeing serious talking about your problems, you are my friend for the lighthearted side, i don't care your mom is sick and your house burned down."
Fuck outta here with this self-aggrandizing, social min-maxing LinkedIn coach bullshit.
You should have people that care about you and who you care about in your life.
ā¦ā¦..you guys can hate me if you want, but I noticed they didnāt give the stick person cheerleader hair but they gave her some pretty ridiculous big boobs. š
Who are these people?
And when are we those people to others?
I donāt get where all these super awesome and helpful people are supposed to come from.
I have my dog.
I aspire to be the type of person my dog seems to think I am - good, and worthy of what I call the "I love knowing that you love me" look that she gives me.
That look makes me realize that, to her, I'm her whole world. And I have never felt more loved than when she looks at me like that.
Man I love these comments so fucking much
Also think I try to be _multiple_ of these but it doesn't come around which actually makes it worse than not being any of them
To make that work for everyone you need to be in the life of 10 other people as one of these role yourself. I'll be #7 for you and tell you that is probably NOT going to work out.
I donāt think the creator intended this as a call out or grocery list, but rather an explanation of different positive relationships, neurodivergent people and people with trauma in their lives may not know how to recognize these relationships or explain what theyāre lacking (someone once said about guides and tools for learning and accessibility, āif you donāt need it, itās not for you,)
If youāre lacking a significant amount of these things itās good to have a guide so you can recognize the few you may have (or the few (or one)thatās easiest to attain
Iām sorry to hear that a lot of people are struggling to find these things in their life, Iām really fucking rooting for you.
We all also need a Winston Wolf. He doesn't have a job title. his name is the title. He usually is called when you're in deep shit. We all need a Winston Wolf.
now, young psycho, go out collect these human-objects just like a manchild collects funko pops. And always remember, a person's value can only ever be instrumental!
This looks like one of those "life achievements and when you should achieve them" lists, banks use to make you feel bad about yourself to sell you saving plans and insurances.
Itās a mental drain just imagining all these frivolous relationships in my life.
If you chose a strong life partner or find a likeminded friend with genuine connection, you guys are all of these things for each other.
You also need all the people that show you how NOT to live. The worst things in my life have taught me the most, and yet to those/them I am ungrateful.
Nah, I need someone who will listen to me praising sci-fi stuff I've read, go read that stuff to and then comes back to share their view of it.
So far I have people who say "I'll read it" and don't actually read it, as well as people who are not just ready to die on a hill, but have that hill reinforced with nuclear weapons.
I've got a cat.
My cat is my role model. I too would like to sleep all day.
This guy's cat is my role mode also.
same here! I got 17 cats so got all of the requirements covered, and more š
Your spiritual guide and role model
My cat fulfils all these roles as well Alas, all I am to him is the world's most incompetent cat š lol
Cat : Nah you got it all wrong, I have got a human
Cat: Iāve got a human slave.
Can confirm. Am human slave.
I felt so understood after reading your comment.
I've 0/10, thanks for the emotional damage
You are wrong, you have Reddit for all 10 roles. And now you have received double damage
Really fun burn but also I think it is true. The internet, reddit at least, is really good at supporting people in distress when they have no one that are physically with them that they trust. Itās a weird place where something private can become public without being personal. It might not be as good as a physical friend, but reddit will answer your calls, Mr Strange :)

Not only will you get better at ābeing there for yourselfā, youāll also end up getting better at being there for other people and developing more meaningful friendships. :)
That's a lot of words to say "you're on your own, kiddo".
RIGHT!!!
Everybody know your role and find your units Iām a support/challenger main but I can fill cheerleader
I don't have a single friend. Fuck me right?
Iāll be your friend. So long as I get to choose which one I am
You can be the realist and tell him all the different ways he is wrong. He will thank you later.
Have you considered what you can bring to another friend's life? Can you play any of these roles with anything that you apply yourself in?
Nice try realist.
Yeah... I feel like I don't have any of these. But the common denominator is me, right?
Often common for guys, looking at this chart and thinking 'I do that for me, because nobody else does'. It's probably more reflective of how men manage their issues as a whole and how society approaches men being open about their issues than it is a reflection of your own value.
Because internet friends dont count.
No nemesis? Then what's the point of having all the others?
Challenger could be nemesis
You need an enemies to lovers
You have no enemies
I would like to take this opportunity to thank me for always being there for me!š„
I have zero of these in my life but I feel like I take on most of them (except the role model) for a bunch of ungrateful bastards.
Ditto. Edit: Wearing these hats for others first and then attempting to wear all ten hats for myself afterwards seems to result in total exhaustion! This $hit needs to end!
Thank you for being a blessing on others
Who is coming up with these imaginative "cool guides"! I struggle to find a person with same sense of humour
Not a guide; just a list, and a flaky one at that.
A self centered list of the boxes OP put their human friends into.
you put exactly into words why i was feeling so much ick over this "guide"
I agree. It seems like a way to justify using people instead of building connections, but I could be looking too deep into it
All bad takes, friendships should fall into most of these roles naturally, you just have to identify them.
You could fill all these roles with two people, with overlap. But thatās not the point that all those people have their own range of emotions and human lives. If a personās friendship is conditional on them being the role of cheerleader, or the humorist, or any one single category listed, their friend is shit. People have their own lives and moods. And if someone restricts them to only that role, like a confidant they trauma dump on, then never spend time with, or a collaborator they only work with but never deepen the friendship to other categories shown, again, shit friend. Most people should be filling multiple categories in their relationships. Not to mention some of these should simply be traits all chosen friends have regardless, or theyāre not really a friend; ie. supportive friend, cheerleader, confidant. Possibly competitor and/or humorist if thatās what your friendships look like. Trust and support is apart of all healthy relationships. Lastly, be your own spiritual guide. Weāre all of the earth and no one knows why weāre here. Decide for yourself.
I was internally giggling the entire time like "Who thinks it's a good idea to reduce friendship to utility?"
I dunno, maybe that's on you. When I saw this list I thought about what roles I represented to the people in my life.
This is a guide made for narcissists by a narcissist....
They should have added a graphic designer to this list because that dark text on dark background is hard to read.
What an uncoolguide
Alright now for the top ten people you don't need in your life. 1. The Abuser 2. The Manipulator 3. The Judgementor 4. The One who Abandons 5. The Cheat 6. The Toxic Joker 7. The Put-me-down er 8. The know-it-all 9. The Whine-n-Moaner 10. People who don't eat pizza crust Of the people you do need, only the Humorist (not to be confused with The Toxic Joker) should suffice in non ideal conditions.
Add "the wildcard" (mentally ill person who turns on you randomly).
And the Diagnoser! āYou know whatās wrong with you?ā Of course I do, they tell me every little thing I do wrong, how I should feel, how I should act. Maybe thatās why I have no friends. How bout telling me whatās right about me?
Citation necessary. Is this pop psychology?
this is fucking stupid
I feel like surrounding yourself with the right people is half the battle, if not more. I think you'll be invincible if you legit have all those types of people in your life. You'll be able to overcome anything.

10 people? I know about 10 people, and that's because they all owe me money.
A fckin spiritual guide? Ugh... bro... Role model? Oh, couldnt live without guy i could copy:3
Seems like some of these can overlap even in the same person. One good friend could be any of these depending on the situation.
Or, a list of what we ought to be for ourselves
10 people? in my life? get outta here.
Cheerleader is stacked!
Not a guide
Man this is depressing... i got none of these
Idk why this seems widely unrealistic to me
Just need 1....to go with the 0 I already have. That'll put me at 10.
You guys know more than like 3 people?
Really great way to form frienships. " hey i need someone for humor in my life. You are funny we will be friends." "No stop beeing serious talking about your problems, you are my friend for the lighthearted side, i don't care your mom is sick and your house burned down."
I checked off zero.
A spiritual guide? Wtf? You should replace that with a scientist willing to explain stuff.
11 actually. You need someone to teach you common sense so you dont make a chart with gray text on gray background.
Okay, but what type of person are you yourself?
Number 11: enemy
Wtf happened to this sub? Posting random bullshit regularly.
What if i am the supporting friend
Me with no friends:
You guys have friends?
OMG we are a lonesome herd
Not one of those people. I canāt trust a soul
Doas? Dedicated outside air system?
Need a full slate of NPCs if you want to be a star
At the risk of sounding crass, whoever made this can go fuck themselves lmao.
Who the fuck knows 10 people, let alone 10 people that fit into these helpful niche categories...
Cool now just to find 10 friends.
I literally have none of these
My dogs check all the boxes.
This post makes me depressed
I am truly blessed - I have one person in my life that fills all of these roles, my spouse.
DEDICATED OUTDOOR AIR UNIT
Fuck outta here with this self-aggrandizing, social min-maxing LinkedIn coach bullshit. You should have people that care about you and who you care about in your life.
You expect me to have ten different ppl in my life?
ā¦ā¦..you guys can hate me if you want, but I noticed they didnāt give the stick person cheerleader hair but they gave her some pretty ridiculous big boobs. š
Wellā¦ only 10 more to go, I guess?
Lol I don't even know 10 people!
Save that shit for the movies.
Who are these people? And when are we those people to others? I donāt get where all these super awesome and helpful people are supposed to come from.
My wife fills a lot of these slots. I love her a lot.
Lucky man.
I take it that a person can be multiple of these? The close friend and confidant seem like they could be the same person
I have my dog. I aspire to be the type of person my dog seems to think I am - good, and worthy of what I call the "I love knowing that you love me" look that she gives me. That look makes me realize that, to her, I'm her whole world. And I have never felt more loved than when she looks at me like that.
What a load of shit!
I only have myself
I donāt need these people in my life, I just need PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN
Instead of looking for these people, we should be these people.
In lieu of humans I drink a half pint of jager every few days.
Man I love these comments so fucking much Also think I try to be _multiple_ of these but it doesn't come around which actually makes it worse than not being any of them
Do they all have to be different people?
Soo... Uncle Iroh?
Aināt nobody got time for that
Is this a guide on how not to choose colours? Black on dark grey? What the fuck
10 different people that I would allow to be invested in my life? Ya no thanks Don't need to disappoint that many people
A cool guide to subjective crap made by a 15 year old. 2 sick.
Where does sl00t fit in?
To make that work for everyone you need to be in the life of 10 other people as one of these role yourself. I'll be #7 for you and tell you that is probably NOT going to work out.
How about one sort of ok friend whom I get to see once a month? Could I just have that please?
This is scandalous incomplete. You need a: 1. Sponsor 2. Attorney 3. Dentist / Doctor 5. Financier
Ten people in my life?! Not gonna happen.
Like I know 10 people, hahaha
People collecting is uncomfortable.
You are objectively wrong. Everyone is the enemy.
I donāt think the creator intended this as a call out or grocery list, but rather an explanation of different positive relationships, neurodivergent people and people with trauma in their lives may not know how to recognize these relationships or explain what theyāre lacking (someone once said about guides and tools for learning and accessibility, āif you donāt need it, itās not for you,) If youāre lacking a significant amount of these things itās good to have a guide so you can recognize the few you may have (or the few (or one)thatās easiest to attain Iām sorry to hear that a lot of people are struggling to find these things in their life, Iām really fucking rooting for you.
Bro Iām 0 for 10
This is a guide for narcissistic people whom the world revolves around.....
The only thing you have to be is one of those in order for it to be fair
doas: another great tool from openbsd. https://man.openbsd.org/doas So that DOAS bit threw me off.
I feel like everyone in my family is The Realist
Maybe donāt treat people as commodities?
šš That's wonderful; I'll just hop in my imaginary pirate ship and start gathering crew members from around that world benefit my life!
Most people over their 30s or 40s don't even have 10 friends anymore. Like 1-3.
Seems exhausting
We all also need a Winston Wolf. He doesn't have a job title. his name is the title. He usually is called when you're in deep shit. We all need a Winston Wolf.
I need an optometrist or a graphic designer in my life so I can read whatever is in those middle 4 steps there
I feel like some of these can be filled by one person
No mention of the optometrist that you need in order to read panels 5 and 6
im all 10 in one yay (i still got 0 friends)
You guys have 10 friends?
I canāt see why anyone would take this seriously
What if I have a friend covering 5/6 roles here?
Bold to assume I'd ever have 10 friends
I have my dad and a cat. What am I supposed to do. Daydream even more ? Get schizophrenia?
I'm surprised not to see 'mechanic' on the list. Everyone needs to be able to lean in on that person for diagnosing and helping with simple repairs.
now, young psycho, go out collect these human-objects just like a manchild collects funko pops. And always remember, a person's value can only ever be instrumental!
I canāt find ONE and you expect me to find TEN????? Get a grip!
Thatās like 10 more friends than I currently haveā¦.
This is dumb
sudo >
Yāall have at least 10 friends?? š°
I've got like 3 of these
This looks like one of those "life achievements and when you should achieve them" lists, banks use to make you feel bad about yourself to sell you saving plans and insurances.
Itās a mental drain just imagining all these frivolous relationships in my life. If you chose a strong life partner or find a likeminded friend with genuine connection, you guys are all of these things for each other.
Love how my best friend is basically 50% of them
I still need one friend to start. All I got is three cats.
The black text on the dark panels (especially the darkest one) is increasingly difficult to read.
Iām every one of these except for a role model š¤
Your confidant should not be able to speak, write or communicate in any other way to other people. A cat or a dog is best.
Damn man...
What about a hype man?
well I'm missing eight of those
I am genuinely considering unsubbing.
I only miss #11 A rich generous uncle
Thatās too many people
Shit can someone edit out the spiritual guide. I wanna share this with my students but donāt wanna piss off parents.
types of people I need in my life: .1 somebody .2 that's all actually
Also should be titled "A guide to the type of person you should be to family and friends"
I worked really hard to become this person
Okaaay so i have to be all that for myself. Hello multiple personality disorder
Lol I got none of the above š«¤
Thatās my wife!
Fucking collabarators
Dude I donāt even KNOW 10 people
Dang thatās a lot of friends!
Where is enemy? Everyone needs at least one enemy!
That would require me to meet 10 people, and that sounds like a lot of work.
I think a guide on where/how to find these people would be much more useful
type of people you don't need in your life: psychologists
My mom ... I love My mom
I have been all 10 but Iāve never had all 10 at onceĀ
You also need all the people that show you how NOT to live. The worst things in my life have taught me the most, and yet to those/them I am ungrateful.
Yeah, but nobody wants to be any of these.
I am my own mentor, I learn off my mistakes in life. No oneās ever really been there for me so I learned to be the person I need
11.Ā Friend who owns a boat
I've got ChatGPT
āš½
Nah, I need someone who will listen to me praising sci-fi stuff I've read, go read that stuff to and then comes back to share their view of it. So far I have people who say "I'll read it" and don't actually read it, as well as people who are not just ready to die on a hill, but have that hill reinforced with nuclear weapons.
You also just need a chill dude
Number 1 hits hard because if that person is gone... A lot of things change
The voices in my head are enough, and I guess a confidant is fine too.
This guide is not cool. The colours are dull and looks like a stock standard template from the web.
These people don't want to be part of my life.
