Mom Friend

Group's therapist

Snacks · Charger · "Got-home-safe?"

You're the unpaid welfare officer of this group. Your bag is a CVS.

What this archetype looks like

You are the one who checks if everyone got home, carries the charger and notices when someone goes quiet. The good part is that your care makes the group feel safer. The hard part is that people may need you more than they really know you. What helps is letting your friends care for you too, not only letting them rely on you.

Strengths

Emotional radar for the group
Practical care, not acting a role
First-responder energy

Watch-outs

Carrying everyone but not yourself
Becoming the role and losing the friend
Care that drifts into control
