Imagine that you have 10 minutes with a friend you haven't seen in a long time. How would you use that time first? Let's remember something that always made us laugh.
I will ask him how he is – sincerely, without the politeness facade.
I suggest a shared silence with coffee – words are not needed.
I'll start talking about my news, so we know where we stand.
Uncertain, I smile – it takes me a moment to get in the mood.

What symbol best represents your friendships? Match – a spark that ignites something.
A blanket – something that warms and protects.
The mirror – shows what I don't always want to see.
Bridge – connects, even when we are distant.
Compass - it guides me when I am lost.

A friend sends you a short message without context: "I just thought of you." What comes to your mind first? Something is happening – maybe it needs help.
Dear. I also thought of him/them.
I don't know what it is about. I'm waiting to see what will happen next.
It will make me happy – I will immediately write him/her something heartfelt.
I'll smile, but I'll leave it as it is. I don't know what to write back.

What does a repeated shared gesture mean to you – for example, a wave, a favorite toast, a walk together? It is an anchor in time that holds us.
It reminds me that I am not alone.
More a symbol than a necessity – words are what matter.
It depends on what kind of day I’m having – sometimes it distracts me.
It's nice, but I tend to take it for granted.

Your friend wants to regularly send you a "thought of the week." How do you perceive it? It's profound – I appreciate that initiative.
I will be curious about what it will bring me.
It depends if I have the time and desire for it.
I don't quite understand why he wants to do that.
I will be glad about it, even though I may not respond.

How would you react if your friend regularly suggested "our Monday" – the day when you call each other? Great idea – I love such rituals.
I will be pleased if it is not mandatory.
It depends on whether it will be natural or forced.
I don't want to be tied to a specific time – I'd rather be spontaneous.
I would rather refuse it – I don't feel the need for regularity.

Imagine that you have a tradition with your friend: you always give each other something small when you see each other. How do you feel? Warmth - small things carry great meanings.
Pressure – what if I don't bring anything someday?
Fun – I consider it a part of the game.
Discrepancy - I'm not sure if it's sincere.
Neutral – I don't care that much.

A friend sends you an old photo of the two of you from a trip. What will your internal reaction be? Warm – I immediately think of that moment.
Reflective – I am thinking about how things have changed since then.
Formal – thank you, but it doesn't mean much to me.
Surprised – I didn’t expect it, but it’s pleasant.
Mixed – I tend to look for faults in my memories.

Imagine that your friend taught you a small gesture – like a tap on the shoulder as a sign of support. How would you use it? I will keep it as an intimate secret between us.
I will start using it with others – I am spreading it further.
Only if the situation calls for it.
I will forget about it unless it reminds me.
It evokes unexpected emotions in me - I'm not sure.

If you had to come up with a new friendship ritual, what would it be? Shared silence under the stars once a month.
A short voice message every Sunday evening.
An invented greeting that no one else uses.
A gratitude journal that we pass around.
Common challenge - for example, a month without complaining.
