Your Type
You highly value growth comrades who strive in their fields, agree to meet at the top, and cheer for each other's achievements. This value of 'linking friendship with personal achievement' actually reflects your inner fear of 'stagnation and not being good enough'; you subconsciously feel that only constant improvement makes you worthy of the relationship, so you use 'mutual growth' to urge yourself on, treating friends as benchmarks that allow no slack. But constantly building friendship on progress prevents you from embracing peacefully during low points. Try telling a friend about something stupid you messed up recently and laugh about it today; when you learn to accept each other's imperfections and vulnerabilities, your relationship will no longer just be an arena.
