For how long do u know your best friend or very good friend ? The wonder of being so connected with someone is interesting....
I have known a number of people in my time - though friends are few and far between - one finds out who those true ones are when one hits the depths of despair - only then is the distinction between friends and acquantainces - however, lonely are those with true conviction - or is that, just me then?
i am lucky enough to say i have about ten good friends in my life excluding acquaintances. i've known them all at least ten years each.
I have three what some would call "best friends" and we are all great distances from each other. One is my age and i met him in 2nd grade. We were always friends but our relationship didn't truly grow tell we hit 18. We are still very close to this day. We understand each other so well when it comes to our philosophy, beliefs, political beliefs. He honestly is the only person i can think of right now who i feel understands my dark side. He is 250 miles away. I see him every 4 months or so. The other is someone i met in college who is native to Tokyo Japan. He lives in LA so i don't see him much but he is a awesome friend. We have a special way of talking to each other because he has broken english. So when my other American friends listen to us talk they are like whaaaatt? lol He is 1500 miles away and i see him once a year. We talk though. Next is my cousin. We have been through a lot of rough shit together. We were partners in crime when it came to drug exploring, running from the cops, and not overdosing in rough times. We have had our fights, but our blood connection is strong and we will do anything for one another. Even though we are 200 miles away we would get in the car and leave work to help each other. Nothing and no one comes between us. We play video games together so we talk daily. I have other good friends as well and blood relatives, but those i just talked about have a special place in my life. The people you would put your life on the line for. its totally worth, finding good friends is like finding a needle in a haystack so when you do find that needle you better hold onto it for life.
I met my bff which is a guy 7 years ago online on website call meetspot, when we was in Jr High school. He's like my brother even tho our careers are drifting us away.
My best friend is someone I have known since high school. It is the kind of friendship that is more like a family member you like than just a friend. I have been fortunate as those who I call friends have always shown themselves to be real friends. There is a couple that I see at least once a week and I feel they are also like that family thing.
I met my best friend when I was 16, she was a couple of weeks away from turning 15. We were in choir together. I haven't in my life loved someone the way I loved her, she meant more to me than any label could ever touch. She passed away 3 years ago and I don't see myself being so close to anyone else. I guess I'm just satisfied with having what we had for the time we had it and don't see the need to go searching for that bond with anyone else. I have several close friends, but I don't think I can ever honestly call someone my "best" friend ever again.
I've known my very best friend since year five in primary school. So that would have made us both about twelve, and we're both 21 now
I don't make friends easily (surprising, I know) I only have two friends at the moment and I have known both of them for 4-5 years.
i know lots of people who dont make friendships easily, so not that surprising. in those days its better to be carefull who u trust.
i make friends pretty easily, but then it turns out they always want me to talk to them and do things with them so i end up pulling away.
I have about six very close friends. One of them I've known since I was 5. I find it easy to make friends, but it's hard to create strong friendships, the type where you can tell everything to the other person.
wooww so u should be one hilarious **** to push away people and they still want to do things with you an talk to u
yeah, pretty much. i don't actually push people away, i just don't make much effort because by the time i'm actually ready for some social contact, they've already initiated it several times.
