Do you believe in best friends?

There's nothing wrong with it at all. the only problem I can see is that, the closer you get to someone, the easier it is to mess up the relationship. It's also easier to betray one another.

I like having best/close friends. Sure, I don't trust them with EVERYTHING, but that's just how I am. Small things here or there. With my car? Eh, probably not. lol But with small things like games and what not, yeah. If I need to do something for them, I'll do it, and so I'll assume they'd do the same. Which is usually true. I only have like 2 friends like that, too. ;o

If we use the word "best" or "close" loosely, pretty much all my friends are best friends. But only by the way we speak. xD

 

I've always believed in best friends, but I also believe that they are human and might come along and stab you in the back.

I have two best friends, one who's house I get invited to so often, I can raid the fridge and am considered the "adopted daughter". My other best friend, well I was afraid of her at first because she hated me, but made it a mission to at least be on talking terms, now for the last two years, we've been laughing and hanging out together and now I can't see my life without being able to speak with her. All three f us have been through so much together and whenever things got rough for one, (it's mainly been me xD) the other two will rush in, that's a best friend.

I have other extremely close friends that I hang out with, and I sometimes feel guilty that I don't consider them as loved as the other two, but I can say, that both of them, without probably realising it, saved my life ( literally) and I am so lucky to have them as my friends.​

 

I think there is a difference between best friends and friends you like better. Some of the friends I like the best can be real bad friends sometimes. I think that it is good to have best friends, but not take the place of family. That is the only thing I've tried to avoid.

 

Of course I do! :D Princess_of_hearts and I have been friends since we were four! I love her to death, and hate being away from her.... I moved to Utah just last year, and it sucks not being able to drive ten minutes to see your bestest buddy. ^^ Living 800 miles apart is really tough. But we're still best friends, and always will be!

I love you, Princess!!! =D Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!

 

Naturelly I agree totally :) Best friends are difficult to find, just like true love is, but it's abosoultly possible. I don't agree with the idea of having lots of best friends because i've found out these past few year of not being in constant contact with my own best friend that it's not possible to find the same sort of connection. Personally I'm super lucky to have found a true best friend at such a young age ^^ I can't wait to see you either Garxena! Love ya hun

 

To me, your best friend is one of two people you can be your true self around, the other being your romantic partner. Sometimes it could be the same person for both. Sadly, I have yet to find anyone I could completely open up to, but there are people who come close.

 

I don't believe in best friends. All my "best friends" betrayed be. So I only have friends and those I don't know.

 

“"A good friend will come bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying...'Damn, that was fun!'"â€

Cause I'm too lazy to explain it.

 

at the moment, no. mainly because every best friends i've had has ditched me without telling me so i just gave up on the whole best friend thing.

 

Hell yeah before I met one girl...i trusted noonre...now i only trust her

 

i think everyone believes in best friends to a certain extent; maybe not always having one but always wanting one... or more than one :D

 

A hint for life: never speak for everyone.

 

im just gonna stick with "friend". no high than that.

 

In most cases, a "best friend" would simply be someone whom you prefer to occupy your time with over other acquaintances, and personally if this were the case I would believe in it, yes, but for good reason. It would simply be natural; humans, as social creatures with separate opinions, enjoy being with those whom hold similar opinions to them more so than those whom hold differing opinions. These differing opinions can cause conflict, and conflict would be attempted to be avoided by both parties. It would be silly to hold every single one of your friends as absolutely and completely equal; they all hold their own opinions to which you may relate more or less with. This business of good and best friends would of course would be clear that it would result in a streak of favouritism among people, however.

"Best friend" can also only be a word, one may not have a true best friend but a group of friends whom he or she find the most amusing to be with. They may not be "best friends" but they may be the closest thing.

 

I personally don't believe in "best friends". Maybe its the fact that i have never really had one. all my friends would just turn around and stab me in the back. So ya, the main point. I don't believe in best friends, but that's just my opinion, and everyone knows "Opinions are like butts, every has one and they all stink"

 

Yes, I do.

I've had a couple great best friends before. Especially one of them who was closer than a brother to me. Of course, he moved away, I hung out with new people, my interests changed and now we don't get along that well.
But right now, the girl I would consider my best friend is just grand. She's kind of my foil. She's the token, Christian, virgin, valedictorian, gymnast, good girl. I'm weed smoking, video gaming, lazy guy who thinks with his dick. In fact, she's actually told me that before we met, she thought I was a potheaded horn dog. (she was somewhat right) She disapproved of everything I did. She actually grabbed my ear out of nowhere when she heard me say I wasn't planning to be sober on our day off. She used to get on to me for smoking cigarettes (and did all the way up until I recently quit). Everytime I flirted with a girl, she would bring up a certain situation that had to do with me and some...younger girls. She would always talk about God, not necessarily pushing her views on me since I'm already Christian, just not that observant. I censor my vocabulary when I'm around her so I don't cuss (she doesn't like it) But we always got along alright.

The night before I moved out to college, I got in a huge fight with my mom and walked out of the house and drove off. I was extremely emotional and not sure what to do. She texted me and I ended up saying I was "fucking pissed" and she could tell how mad I was simply because I didn't censor myself. She drove out to meet me and just hung out with me until almost 3 a.m. and just chilled me out.
Just recently, I started going to church again, and went to hers. My second night there, after leaving, I was in my first car accident. I called her out of reflex. I didn't even know what to say, I didn't even tell her I was in an accident, I ended up apologizing and hung up.

I can literally tell her anything. She is, so far, the only person I can be completely honest with. I mean, I'm somewhat a compulsive liar, but with her the truth pours out. With any other person, if a subject is uncomfortable, I avoid it or lie about it. With her, no matter how uncomfortable a subject is, I just say it, pretty much completely ignoring the discomfort. I don't know why it's like that, but it is.
Hell, I've even had a big crush on her and even though it's not totally gone, it doesn't get in the way of our friendship. I'm completely happy where we are now. I even told her how I felt and she said she just wants to be friends. And guess what? I didn't feel rejected at all. I completely agreed. Even though I'm attracted, I'm perfectly satisfied with our friendship. So the way I see it, best friends are to friendship what soulmates are to love.

So long story short, yes, I do believe in best friends

 

Yes I do believe in best friends because I have 2.
