Everybody needs someone who is perceived as “real” on their team. But what does that really mean? It means having someone who is dependable for your social interactions, beyond just yourself. Only a very select few can handle that kind of pressure while still maintaining their happiness. This is something we all need in our lives – the knowledge that we have support, which can be truly saving.
