My friend JB could be a professional friend. Truly. He’s in the major leagues of friendship. He calls every couple of weeks just to catch up. Odds are he’s the one to initiate the email thread to get people together for a reunion. He remember birthdays. He recommends books. If he sees an article or video online that aligns with your interests, he’ll forward it to you or tag you in a post. He comes to visit you where you are — uses vacation days for it and everything. He just prioritizes you as a friend, even with everything else going on in life and the world. And he’s joyful to see you. It’s deeply inspiring. I try to emulate him. It’s my theory that the JB’s of the world are the “friendship glue” that hold larger networks of friends together. Without them, the individuals in any given friend crew would not be as close with all the others. Agree or disagree? Is this a gender thing? Do you know someone who serves this role?
