First of all, social media is not proof of friendship. Just because someone “likes” your photos or views your story every day doesn’t mean they’re a true friend. Even if you just text each other or talk in DMs, it doesn’t count as real contact.
No matter how seriously people take text messages (which may be written from an impulsive, angry, emotional mind), they are not genuine forms of communication, and you should never end a friendship over text. Texting is simply not the medium for your emotions.
Real life happens in real life, and nothing will ever compare to that experience. Chemistry is shaped by emotions and the expression of emotions. Emojis are not enough for emotions. You have to talk to people in real life to really connect with them and hear what they mean things.
The type of friend your sign really is
Humor, emotion, sarcasm, tone and body language do not translate through text. If someone can’t talk on the phone or meet in person, this is and should be a red flag. Friends spend time together and create memories in real time. ‘Busy’ is not a valid excuse; if people really want to see you, they will make time for you. This is the type of friend you can expect from each sign:
Ram
Is the type that no one needs, but if they stay it’s because they really care about the long term. Aries will neglect you depending on what’s going on in their lives, but that doesn’t mean they stop loving you.
They may need to learn to express love through words, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of doing so. Aries are selfish by nature, so they will put their wishes above their feelings. They are competitive and can compete with their friends. Aries is only good for you if he is good with himself.
Taurus
Tough to get to know, but if you do, and you hit it off, this is a loyal, best friend for life. A friend who won’t say a bad word about you. They may seem totally biased, but even if something negative but true is said about you, Taurus will come to your rescue.
They will listen to you and keep your secrets. Taurus is a safe for the people they care about. Taurus isn’t like Gemini, they don’t crave change in people, in fact, Taurus is bad with change and isn’t about to leave your side unless you force them.
Twin
Can make friends with anyone, but there are a few that are really close to their hearts. Gemini can change their friends like they change their undergarments, but there are usually one or two tokens who have been there from the start.
Sometimes Gemini gets caught up in being cool and popular, but as they grow older they realize who is really important. Although you never know, a Gemini can change their pace at any time.
Cancer
Cancer is a ride-or-die type of friend, although many of them don’t really let many people in and loners also exist in this sign. Cancer can be your friend online or from a distance, but sometimes they have trouble making real plans with you.
Cancer will be the friend who listens to you and makes you laugh, even though you know there are complex layers to your Cancer that you can never seem to fathom.
Lion
Loyal to the core, and that may be true for some, but Leo is flaky and often makes friends that don’t last a lifetime. Leo is about optics, so don’t put ‘secret friends’ next to it. They will look for what is best for them, even if they don’t want to brag about it on the internet.
Leo will boost your ego if you are. Leo loves to love, so they will love you, but don’t block their shine in any way because they won’t like that. Share their personal, private information with others and they will cut you off.
Virgin
They are great friends, they are not the type to look for greener pastures, they usually like what they have and will be there for you when you really need them. Except they’ll chase you if they have a partner and kids and a job.
Virgo works hard to be everything, and they may not have time to schedule you, but that doesn’t mean they care any less. The mark of a good Virgo is that they will always be there for you when it really counts.
Scale
As a very charming sign, they have the ability to make friends with anyone, and many of them do. Libra will have random friends from all over the world because they don’t like to cause drama.
Libras prefer to stay neutral, so they’re a great person to bounce something off of. Libra is a flake and very unreliable, but there is something magical about it. It’s really hard to hate them, and sometimes you just long for your ultra-cool Libra friend.
Scorpion
Scorpio is selective and has trust issues, so if he chooses to trust you, don’t break his trust as that could very easily mean the end of your relationship. Scorpio may stay in your life, but they’ve probably tailored what the relationship means to them if trust is broken.
Scorpio will be there at every important moment and the moment you betray or upset him or her; they will be gone without saying a word. This is not the sign that their truth is going to be communicated. They will do anything to help you, but if you mess with their territory or their peace, you will be fired.
Archer
Sagittarius doesn’t really let many people in, but if they’ve spent a lot of time with you and trust you, you can count on them to support you. Sagittarius gets caught up in life, so you may have to remind him that you exist, but if you do, your Sagittarius friend will be more than happy to hear from you.
Sagittarius doesn’t really let many people in, so if they let you in, consider yourself special.
Ibex
Capricorn is the type that is good for you and doesn’t ruffle feathers. You can rely on them as a partner. They care deeply about their friends and show a lot of loyalty. Capricorn will have the highest expectations of your potential and will appreciate you regardless of what anyone else has to say. Capricorn is not one to talk bad about the people he loves.
Aquarius
Aquarius gets acquainted with almost everyone, but their truly close emotional friends are among a select few. Aquarius does not like to show vulnerability to many or to anyone.
If they come to you with a broken heart, consider yourself lucky because this is a rare occurrence. Aquarius isn’t the type you see every day, they need their independence, but they will always have your back if you’ve had theirs.
Fishing
Pisces are a good friend, but they need to be friends with the right people. Pisces will tolerate a lot in friendship, but will feel truly blessed when they meet someone who gives back to the same extent as they do.
Pisces sometimes puts the needs of others before their own and this idea can make them undesirable as a friend. No one wants what they can have, but if Pisces wants you, consider yourself lucky. Pisces are the most caring and the most empathetic, but they must be confident in their gifts or they will be overrun in friendship.
