Type of friend

People change, but friends do to.  They say true friends stick together and look out for each other.  However, popular advice is if you are irritated with your friends, ignore them and eventually find new ones.

Intervene-r:
This friend looks out for your interests.  Rather than change themselves, they want to change you.  Say both of you guys were good students with no criminal records.  Then one day you start smoking pot which escalates to shooting up on heroin.  You start tattooing yourself and get really depressed.  The intervene-r will shake you up and get you into therapy.  They will visit you regularly as you detox.  They are with you during the thick and thin.  On the down side, you can't easily get rid of this friend.  They choose to change you, not you change them.

Concede-r: In the same situation, they will accept that you have changed and will not intervene.  They follow internet advice.  If you are annoyed, find new friends.  Don't stick with your annoyances.  They are the people who look out for themselves, but realize you probably do/should do the same.  Thought line:You guys are friends for laughs, not for the sake of butting into each other's business. If you do drugs, it's your business not theirs.

Who makes the better friend in the end?
