Persona 3,4 and 5 confidant system

What do you guys think about the confidant system in the Persona 3, 4 and 5 games? Do you feel that it accurately portrays how relationships are made in real-life or that it might be too over-the-top? In one way, it is an interesting way to go about creating links between characters which then translate to battle benefits, but I feel that the additional stories you encounter through pursuing (or not pursuing) different confidant routes helps enrich the experience of the rose-coloured school-life. The different paths laid out before you, some unlockable only after the fulfilment of certain criteria really gives one the sensation of control over their social-life. It helps one realise that life is also like that, albeit even less limited and more free in regards to the "confidants" you can make!

Well, I took a quiz on it once and it said I was the fool, but Idk, I think I emphasise more with the Chariot or Empress tarot cards
