Friends, Best Friends

[Mizzkizz7]

Do you have a friend that expects you to answer every last one of their calls? She calls me her best friend but I don't feel the same. Clingy, maybe?
 I have learned not to emotionally connect myself to anyone. I hate rejection and it hurts when the friendship ends. (for whatever reason).

I have two best friends who I love and would do anything for and know they feel the same.  But we can be honest with each other, if we are busy we will always answer texts or phones and say can I get back to you.  My sister once had a high school friend who wanted to be my sister’s best friend, she would call to talk to her and if I answered and told her she wasn’t home she would ask me where did she go, who is she with?  Naturally I wouldn’t tell her.  My sister said if the 2 of them went out, things were great but if she asked another friend to come along the ‘best friend’ would be mad all night and barely talk.  After a few of these, my sister dropped her like a hot potato.  Way too clingy  and needy.

No, I do not have those kinds of friend.  My husband is my best friend.

I do not really have a best friend.  I'm more of the acquaintance type person. 

[teenangel]

No I don't have those kind of friends. I have friends but not best friends

[makeblessed]

I have close friends, and we will do anything to support each other in a crisis, but we also understand and respect that we are individuals with separate lives and are not needy like that.

I have 2 best friends one since  1997 and the other since 1994. We  can be on the phone for  hours  or just a quick text. We know  that each of us loves the other very much.  Both are  far away from me and yet sometimes  it seems like they are just next door and seem to know when I need  cheering up and it is the same way with  what I feel for them. We just seem to know.

I'm kind of a loner I don't really have what you call a best friend I have the girl that I work with we go out to eat or something like that and I share a lot of things with her about what's going on in my life and stuff but I like to be by myself to do my own thing and I most definitely do not like clingy people like what you're talking about

[bigfoot951]

I've been in that situation and in retrospect I realize that I have put someone else in that position.  What's sad to me is that you 'have learned' not to connect with people emotionally.  I'm saying this because I care.  Your life will miss out on so much joy if that's how you continue to live.

I had a friend that I called "best friend" until I realized she really wasn't. I do have a couple a good friends though.

[darkxtsuna]

I use to have a friend like that and was happy that I axed him off as a friend.

[kimber62372]

I have a few friends that are close but my sister is my best friend and cannot compare to others even though I can only tell her certain things I cannot tell my friends and vice versa.

I don't have any friends, let alone best friends. Gave up on people a long time ago when I graduated high school. I'm uncomfortable around others now, and I never have anything in common with anyone. And maybe I sound like a jerk, but I really don't like anyone enough to want to be around them on purpose anyway. I've got my husband and my pets and that's all I need.

[bremer51]

I have several close friends.  Some I don't see very often, but when we do get together, it's like we've never been apart.  Easy conversation, no judgement,  lots of laughter, sometimes tears.  They're like a safe haven in the storm.

My husband is the only that expects me to answer every call.
