Before you start
The 4 possible results
Every answer nudges you toward one of these. Here is what each one means.
A genuinely good friend
You show up, you remember, you keep confidences, and you are still there at month six of something boring and hard. That last part is what actually separates good friends from nice ones, most people manage the crisis and disappear during the long middle.
A good friend
You are dependable and people are glad to have you. There is one area where you fall short of how you see yourself, and it is almost certainly the one at the bottom of your breakdown.
A decent but drifting friend
You care, and your friendships run largely on convenience and the other person's initiative. That works while life is easy and it quietly ends friendships during the periods when someone needed you to go first.
Not currently a good friend
Your answers describe friendships you receive rather than maintain. Worth separating two things: this might be who you are, or it might be a period where you have had nothing spare.
