I haven’t had a close friend since I met my now husband in 8th grade. I need more than just acquaintances and casual friendships.

How I did it: It took me numerous years to find out that my twin sister is my bestest friend! Why wouldn't it be! I can trust her and tell her anything and we've both been through so much stuff together! After good friends, (as well as the fake friends), have come and gone she's still got my back and vice versa! The only thing is i wish she weren't so lazy! lol Read how I did it…

How I did it: I have been married to my husband 18 years. I just wanna say there are good men in the world, and I have one of them! :)We're not just man and wife,we're best friends, best buds.

How I did it: It took me a really long time to find my best friend. I've said this to her a thousand times before, but, I feel as if "best friends" isn't an accurate way of describing us. We're so much closer than that. I met her through another friend...and waiting this long was so, so, worth it. I love you more than words, Melina! NEVER FORGET IT!I guess the way to find a best friend is to look in unlikely places....hey, you never know. I wish that e… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Even though it never really seemed like it, my bffs were in front of me the whole time. I never really thought so cuz my friendships never have been perfect when everyone elses seemed like they were. But no one is perfect. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started spending a lot more time with a friend that had always been there but never had a strong friendship with. We really connected and with time we became so close (finishing each others sentences, sharing everything etc) We have spent heaps of time together and really bonded and had so many fun times and hopefully heaps more to come!!

I’m still looking for someone who actually is completely trustworthy and always, ALWAYS there for me. Ugh.
I have always had a ton of friends, and when I was younger I had best friends, but those faded over time. In High School, one of my biggest fears was not having any friends. Years later, this actually came true. I had distant friends, but no one close. We just never kept in touch. I do want a best friend, someone I can call when my husband pisses me off. Someone who calls me too, just to say hi. How do you get a Best friend as an adult?
i used to have one but our relationship gradually became mechanical. she started to put me on the back seat every time when it involves her one of many boyfriends. i started to feel used when i called her many interests to figure if they like her too and when i asked her to do the same for this guy she said no. i always feel like the sidekick. i am trying really hard to save our friendship but i think i am the only one who is doing so. i don’t think we can be considered best friends anymore. she didn’t even tell me she was on a college break. i really want a BFF that i can rely on and totally be myself because it feels great when i had a real BFF.

A lot of people have a best friend. I dont. I have friends but not even one best friend. It seems like everyone is hiding something from me. I feel left out and untrused all the time. IT MAKES ME SAD!!! :(
I’m growing a little tired of boyfriends. I’d just like a best friend. But all my best friends keep falling for me.
Lady Stardust I guess this fall looks interesting
I have just had an epiphany! My problem is not that I don’t have a best friend. Taking into consideration my personality traits, I doubt I could ever have one, and not because it’s my fault or something but because I have a strong need for independence. That’s fascinating :D I don’t want a best friend :D I want people around me, but I also need my space.
My whole perspective about a best friend has changed. Indeed, I need people that I can trust, people that would be there for me when I need something. But I already have this and I feel satisfied. In my other, idealistic opinion, a best friend would have been always there, guessed what I want, shared my everything. And I’m too independent to want such a thing.
I am giving up on this task, not giving up on people in general. I just think while you can have a best friend who is with you but if you go somewhere and do your own thing there is no way of being as good friends and you contact each other less and less until you are no longer friends. As I am always traveling and moving on I can never stay with one person, maybe one day I will settle down but I do not want that to happen as I wish to remain a wondering spirit as I enjoy breaking my own barriers and seeking my own dreams.
I used to have a lot of close friends…but no longer! The 2 closest people who I might consider my “best friends” fill different roles. My mother…and my boyfriend. It would be nice to have someone who is just a friend. None of the other “baggage”. There are certain things I can’t share with either of them…things more appropriate for a friend. Yeah. That’s about it.
Well I had one when I was younger then she said that she didnt want 2 b my best friend anymore. Lately I’ve been thinking more and more of having a best friend. I know that he/she is out there maybe not in this country, he/she could be anywhere
