I have different circle of friends depending on the occasion and the situation. Yeah, I have a study group (a group of friends that we come together to discuss stuffs relating to school and our courses) a prayer group (a group that are readily available whenever a member needs spiritual aids in terms of praying together and offering support),some friends that we can gist about any thing from the state of the country, internet stuffs and life in general. But I had never really had the thought of role playing in my circle, if the #hivenaijaweekly prompt had not required us to think deeply about ourselves and the role we play to enhance the group dynamic.
In terms of role playing amongst friends, it could be a lot of things even one that that is not expected but unique in some type of way. thus, a person's personality and character or even habits comes to play in such situations. Personality traits could include extraversion, empathy, and humor and this can influence the roles individuals take on in a friend circle. Also,Strengths such as organizational skills, financial management,problem-solving abilities, relationship experts and emotional intelligence also contribute to shaping the dynamics within the group.
I believe I can probably call myself the finance manager in my circle of friends. In my circle of friends, as a person I naturally take on the role of a "finance manager" because whenever we get engagements that involves money, my friends see me as one that excel in budgeting, giving good financial advices that makes expenditure seamless, or organizing group expenses. One thing about managing finances in a group means contributing and at the same time ensuring financial considerations are well-managed, fostering a more organized and stress-free social environment.
Although my circle is small just 4 or 5 of us, but whenever we have a party to attend together, we come together to get gifts or stuffs for the celebrant. One time , we decided earlier to contribute money to that effect considering the financial economy of the country. The fact that I set my finances right, I did not tamper with the early payments and even gave account of what was spent on transportation to get the stuff and the amount paid for that product.
Another unique feature i see that I have in my circle of friends will be what I call "the doer". I call myself that because The "doer" in a friend circle is someone proactive i.e it involves taking initiative and anticipating needs or issues before they arise and action-oriented. Sometimes In situations it takes one person to bring up awareness on such issues and how to deal with it. As an individual I am inclined to offering suggestive plans, and also actively contribute to the group's well-being and enjoyment.
So far so good, these two unique feature reflects the way I see myself amongst my group of friends, the finance/ money girl and the the doer. One thing that keep my energy on top is the fact that my friends are always appreciative of one another and the efforts we put in to care for one another's welfareism.
