10 Reasons Why Geminis Make Great Friends

Feb 19, 2018

There are several layers to a Gemini's personality. It can take some serious time and commitment to decipher the mind of a Gemini. This is one of the reasons why we are misunderstood. We represent the twins and may hate you one day and love you the next. Continue reading for a list of 10 things that make Gemini's unique. 

#1. We will keep you on your toes (so get ready to laugh out loud A LOT!) 

We Geminis are fluent in sarcasm and are not afraid to tease the slightest mistake. We are smart and observant, and we are very quick with our comebacks. Though this may be off-putting at first and is misunderstood as meanness. Contrary to that belief, if a Gemini isn't being "mean" to you through sarcasm, it means we aren't friends. 

#2. We show you love by needing you back

We are tough and strong on the outside but we are sensitive on the inside. We may not show it, but we attach to our friends on a very personal level and we need you to be there for us and to confirm that we've put our trust in the right person. 

#3. We are natural leaders

Gemini's are observant and smart. We represent the twins and as such we are able to understand more than one point of view. We have a knack for understanding the views and opinions of those around us. This makes us effective leaders and peacekeepers. 

#4. We are fiercely loyal

We form very strong attachments to the people we care about. Whatever problem you face, your Gemini friend will be there to help solve it. We put in the work to keep in touch with long-distance friends and we don't give up on the people we love. This can sometimes be problematic because if someone betrays us or hurts someone we love, we can be equally devoted to revenge. 

#5. We are adventurers at heart 

We Geminis constantly seek knowledge and adoration, but above all else, they seek lots fun! We love to travel. We are naturally curious and we constantly seeking new information, new viewpoints, and new ways of looking at the world. Being friends with a Gemini can open your mind to a whole new world. We love doing crazy things, we are thrill seekers to the core. Sometimes, though, we may need a little help focusing on the things we need to get done before our next big adventure. 

#6. We forgive. We don't forget. 

Geminis want to have fun so we don't sweat the small stuff. Even some of the bigger problems, we are willing to give second chances. Keep in mind, however, we love and hate with the same vengeance that when you upset us, we don't forget it. 

#7. We are very headstrong

This trait of ours can sometimes cause more problems than we intend. We are smart and opinionated and we are passionate about our beliefs. This makes us very stubborn. We may understand your viewpoint and your opinion, but we may not agree with it. We are a proud breed and we will not back down. This can make us great leaders but when we don't have someone to keep us in check, we can get belligerent. 

#8. We make encouraging friends

We Geminis are rather empathetic. When one of our friends or loved ones have problems we often sense it instinctively before a word is said about it and we will expend huge amounts of energy to make sure they are okay. We have a talent for knowing what to say to make someone feel better and we give great advice that is actually helpful (if I do say so myself). Geminis are more compassionate than people born under different stars. You can depend on your Gemini friends to exert great amounts of effort to understand both your messages; both the spoken and the unspoken. 

#9. You will never have to ask for a compliment again

Geminis are what I like to call "aggressively complimentary". We love our friends and it kills us to see them hurt or not love themselves as much as we love them. Geminis will always try to make you feel good, even if you weren't fishing for the compliment. 

#10. We love people, but we need our own space

Geminis are creative and artistic. Our minds work in strange ways. Even though we are always ready for an adventure, we love our friends, and we love to laugh, we love our private time too. We have to have the chance to regroup and do what we want and need to do.

Geminis are hard working, fun to be around, and extremely loyal. We are definitely worth the effort...I promise!
