Do you have a best Friend? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life7 months ago

I know this is a pretty weird question, but I was thinking today that I really don't have a best friend anymore. I used to but have fallen out of touch with them. I am not sure if it is my fault, or if that is the way life typically goes. We gradually fall out of touch with people as we age. I have my girlfreind who I spend all my time with, but does that count as a best friend? What about you? Do you have a best friend? How long have you had that friend?

you know I was thinking about this the other day, I don't have one anymore that I would call a best friend, I have a few friends but not one I would call best, I did have one but she passed away a couple of years ago, I think I prefer to just have a few friends rather than best any more as a few years ago I did get cheated on by my them best friend so I am happy not to get too close to any one friend these days...

Hi,

Thanks for the response. That is pretty much how I feel. Hard to let people in.

cheers,

I had the same problem a while back with that issue.. all of my friends took different directions on their education process.. Now it's hard to regroup and just to talk... that's why we use msn.. and skype...

But i wish i could spend more time with them.

About the girlfriend, if you can count on her, talk about anything, and trust here, well there's your best friend;)

I always say that "girlfriend must be an important part of my friends list"

if your girlfriend is not your friend... well who else can you count with?

But one advice.. don't loose track of friends because of girlfriends.. been there.. done that.. and lost some valuable friends in the process. Had to rebuild the "downline";)


myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

Hi,

Wow...you make some very good points. I particularly like what you said about the girlfriend.

Thanks,

Well, sometimes, your significant other could also be your bestfriend. When you say bestfriend, it doesn't have to be a different person. You know, all of us would meet a lot of people and there are times that we would think that they are there to stay. Unfortunately, people come and go into our lives and we have to accept that. The people who stayed with you and stand up with you no matter what, then you could call them your bestfriend, even if it is your significant other. If this is the case, then you are lucky. Not everyone could claim that their boyfriend/girlfriend is their best friend as well.


myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

Hi,

Some valid points. I think it is true that many people cannot claim that.

cheers,

I don't have a best friend either. I don't feel any great lack because thankfully I have my family and my dogs. In fact I think you only make a handful of really best friends in your whole life. By that I mean people you totally trust and you are really in tune with. Unfortunately, mine were all in England and we have lost touch because we have moved around so much. I really regret that and have tried to find them through the Internet, but to no avail as yet.


myLot reputation of 99/100. golfproo (1614)   ranked 15 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

You are right, as we age things change that is for sure.

Thanks for the response.

Yes. I have one best friend and that is my husband. We met 16 years ago and we became friends. We then got married three years later. We have been together for 16 years and married for 13 in July. He is the only best friend that i have ever had. I can tell him anything and talk about anything with him and he never judges me.

I did have some good friends and one best friend. I have not completely lost touch with her and if i very much need someone to fall back upon i call her and it lifts my spirits. I think of her every now and then and i still feel close to her.

I don't know that I have a best friend right now. I do keep in touch with the best friend I had as a child, but she lives across the country and we haven't seen each other in years. Right now all my friends are online friends. While some may think that sounds strange, I am disabled so its easiest for me. I do miss the days of having girlfriends to shop with or go to craft shows etc. Or just someone to call and chat with if you had a good or bad day.

I do not have a best friend. I used to a long time ago, but not anymore. I actually fell out of touch with all of my friends when I moved about a year and a half ago and I have never made the effort to go out and make new ones.

Yes dear golfproo. I have a friend who had studied with me and now I am a businssman and he is working for an industry. We meet once a week in the heart of the city and once in a while he brings him family home and vice verse.This friendship is purely based on trust and understanding.

I'm a seven- year-old girl's mother.I used to have a best friend,but since we have family,we seldom get together.we just telephone each other .do you think if I have a best friend?


myLot reputation of 87/100. ssh123 (18404)   ranked 5,468 out of 30,392 in life  7 months ago

As long as your discussions through phone are sincere to the core, itis the best friendship. There is no need to meet every day face to face and chit chat or shake hands. The real friends always wish wherever you are whatever you are!
