Different types of friendships enrich our lives in different and meaningful ways, but there’s something special about a “couch friend.”
A “couch friend” is a person you feel totally at ease around, who never makes you feel like you need to impress them. You can sit on the couch for hours in your comfiest clothes with no agenda — just talking, maybe watching a show or eating snacks — and still have fun.
The term went viral after Charlotte Negron, a Los Angeles-based content creator, created a TikTok about the beauty of this kind of friendship last year. In the months since, it has amassed more than 7 million views and over 11,000 comments.
