From The Mom Of The Group To The Wing Woman, Types of Besties Every Girl Gang Have

Friendship Day: Female friendships are synonymous with support and space. Most women find emotional solace in other women due to their shared experiences, traumas, and struggles as woman in our predominantly patriarchal society. In places of bleakness, female friendships are known to offer sunshine, a shoulder to cry on, a ranting session, and even retail therapy. Girl gangs are famous for having their unique, characteristic besties, who all together make up a wholesome relationship. It's time to dive into all the types of besties, the girl besties have in real life.     

The Mom of the Group 

The title of this friend is self-evident. These are the sincere daughters of the house, who have the ability to assume a responsibility towards the people they love and cherish. These are the people who will not get drunk, wipe your tears, and will also give you an earful on all your bad life choices. 

Your Soul Sister

There is always a girl bestie who feels like a sister from another mother. These two women are each other’s twins with the same choices, likes, dislikes, and even triggers. The bond between these two is what they teach in the chemistry books called the covalent bonds. 

The Biggest Cheerleader 

God forbid, a fellow best friend is low on self-esteem or image, these biggest cheerleaders will always have your back when it comes to hyping you. With the right words of assurance, love, and motivation, sometimes they even overhype you over a wrong thing. These come with their own sets of consequences. 

The Reality Check 

Keeping one humble and grounded is their job description. The reality check besties will open your eyes and sometimes tear ducts with their honesty. They will offer you the best advice and will call you out on your witless choices. 

The Work Bestie 

Work besties are doing god’s job making your corporate or job life tolerable. They are a warm dessert after a terrible meal you had to eat because you ordered it in the first place. From sharing lunch to waiting for each other’s clock out, work besties make work bearable.       

Yapper Bestie 

Now the mom of the group has the tolerance to listen to you, but she is too sensible to rant with you. Your yapper bestie and you work on the same frequency when it comes to ranting about a problem at work or a nagging boyfriend. Your enemy is their enemy. 

Wingwoman 

The wingwoman ensures that you are talking to each person you have a crush on or desire. They are your personal matchmakers who you can swear for a good match.  

Girl groups are women’s spaces of confinement, understanding, and empowerment, and girl besties are their ultimate manifestation of the people they need to surround them.
