Here Are Three Good Things About Every “Friends” Character Which Will Probably Change The Way You Look At Them.

Look on the bright side!

So, every “Friends” character has their flaws, but let’s look at them positively! Here are three good things about each character, I hope you like it!

Rachel Green

1. She’s incredibly loyal.

The show is all about friendship and Rachel embodies that with everything she does — in goods times and in bad. Whether it’s consoling Monica or supporting Phoebe’s music career, she always offered her empathy and loyalty.

2. She goes after what she wants.

Whether it’s in dating or her career, Rachel isn’t afraid to go after what she wants. In the series, she goes from marrying for money to a full-fledged career woman — all thanks to her grit. In many ways, she has her confidence to thank for her success. While we do see glimpses of her insecurities throughout the series, she — for the most part — exudes confidence.

3. She isn’t afraid to try new things.

Rachel is always up for trying new things. Whether it be helping Monica in the kitchen or playing football on Thanksgiving, she always does her best and is up for a challenge.

Monica Geller

1. She let Rachel move in with her.

After Rachel ran out on her wedding, she told her dad she was moving in with Monica. Despite not talking to her about it first, Monica hardly bats an eye and agrees to let Rachel move in with her. At the time, they two were reconnecting and not nearly as close as they once were. However, that doesn’t stop Monica from supporting a friend in need.

2. She’s honest.

Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, and the rest of the Friends characters can always count on Monica’s honesty. And while she’s sometimes a little too honest, her willingness to tell the truth (and speak her mind) usually does them good. Of all the characters, she’s the voice of reason.

3. She’s a great sister.

Ross and Monica might not always get along, but they have immense love and support for one another. Despite his breakup with her best friend — Rachel — Monica tried her best to be there for her brother during the hard times, without ruining her friendship with Rachel. Also, Monica always offers her babysitting services, is happy to meet Ross’ new girlfriends, and is incredibly gracious and kind to her older brother.

Phoebe Buffay

1. Her music talents.

We are forever indebted to Phoebe for “Smelly Cat.” And who could forget her infamous holiday song? She should have won a Grammy for rhyming Ross with Santa Claus. And while her music wasn’t exactly a popular genre, it was unique and true to Phoebe.

2. Her confidence is unmatched.

We can all learn something about confidence from Phoebe. Without even realizing it, she’s one of the most confident characters on the show. She knows who she is and owns it always — even when it’s not the most appropriate.

3. Her eccentric style.

Phoebe’s style represents a specific type of person living in New York City’s Greenwich Village. It’s bohemian mixed with vintage and a whole lot of eccentricity. And while it is the complete opposite of her fashionista friend, Rachel, Phoebe style is just as trend-setting — even if she doesn’t mean it to be.

Joey Tribbiani

1. He ate Rachel’s trifle.

After Rachel accidentally made a Shepherd’s pie trifle cake, Joey didn’t think twice about eating it. Even though he didn’t do it to make her feel better — he genuinely thought it was delicious — he still was there for her friend during a major faux pas.

2. He’s selfless.

While he might act childish at times, Joey always does the selfless thing. Case in point: Even though it was hard for him, he let Emma have Hugsy, his favorite stuffed animal.

3. His pick-up line is the essence of his character.

“How you doin’” is probably the worst and best pick-up line of all time. So, it’s fitting that Joey uses it as a universal way to pick up women. And while his go-to phrase could very easily turn fans against his character, there’s something so fitting about the line that makes us love him even more.

Chandler Bing

1. He’s always there to help.

You only have to watch a few episodes to notice that whenever someone needs anything, he’s always willing to help. I mean, who was the one who came to help Ross move his couch? PIVOT!

2. He learns how to deal with emotions and be more open.

At the beginning of the series, we see Chandler as this emotionally unavailable guy who hides behind his sarcastic jokes. However, as the series progresses, we see him opening up more thanks to the love he feels for Monica.

3. He always has a joke ready to make you feel better.

What would life be like without humor? We need jokes to get through life, and Chandler definitely knows how to deliver. I mean, besides Monica’s co-worker, he is the funniest guy ever.

Ross Geller

1. Well, a lot of people seem to think of Ross as the bad guy, but here are some examples that show he’s not actually that bad. Well, he taught Phoebe how to ride a bike.

When it comes to how Ross treated his friends, sometimes he was a great friend and sometimes he was rather disappointing. While he was often a guy who thought he treated people well, it wasn’t always the case. But, the time he bought Phoebe a bike when she admitted she never learned to ride one was rather sweet. This was an episode that showed that Ross did care about his friends.

2. He missed his discovery channel shot to take care of Rachel.

There are many, many moments when Ross’ behavior towards Rachel is disappointing. He seems to feel entitled to her in many ways. He’s also rather possessive and jealous at times. However, there are some moments where he does show that he cares about her. One example is when he misses an important Discovery Channel shoot so that he can take care of her after she breaks her rib.

3. He did seem to genuinely care about his kids.

Now, it’s clear that Ross wasn’t a perfect parent by any means, but then again no parent really is. He definitely had his shortcomings when it came to parenting, but he also seemed to genuinely love and care about his kids. He co-parented both Ben and Emma, and he seemed to be involved in their lives. Of course, Friends was never really about anyone’s kids that much, but what we did see of Ross with his kids was fairly good overall.

Well, those are some examples of good things each “Friends” character has done. Remember, everyone isn’t perfect, but everyone also has their ‘good’ side. I hope you guys will think positively, and I hope you liked my post!
