Your best friend

Post Reply New Topic

To all of you that have had a best friend, what was your favorite activity involving your best friend?

For me, it was video games in our younger years, and as we grew up enough to drive we started to work on cars for fun. What was your experience with friends?

The games we played usually involved shooting or racing and the cars we were insterested in were Ford Mustangs, especiallly classic mustangs.

I spent (and continue to spend) a lot of time listening. Sometimes I want to talk and can't, but most of the time I have very little to say unless the topic drifts to something I'm particularly interested in at the time. My friends never seem to lack for things to say.

I take my Best Friend for a Walk, early in the morning and sometimes, after Dinner as well. I also play with him and rub his Belly. I give him plenty of Treats and I cuddle with him.

D&D.

Actually, now that the D&D group is gone, we don't really see each other any more. So maybe my obsessions are my best friends.

Horse riding, or Hockey depending on which best friend.

And if we weren't out there doing it together we were doing all the associated stuff, or talking about it.

Haven't gotten any best friends out of sailing, or scuba diving yet.

Got a few related to computing/uni. We go out to restaurants and eat together or see a movie and talk about life, the universe and everything.

We play music together. Either on instruments or on the stereo. We rock out hard core style. And on occasion, we'll sometimes drink beer excessivley.

It was different things at different times. In high school, we played video games a lot. Later, it was billiars. Now it's mostly hanging out at sports bars, talking and stuff.

i have a few friends but i dont know which to choose as a best friend.. each has their own qualities that i like and they all enjoy spending time with me and i like spending time with them aswell

If you mean best friend by someones who is always with you, then yes I have one. My best friend lives with me. He´s always around, and theres nothing I can do to get rid of him, and, unfortunately, our house is very very tiny. I enjoy his company sometimes as he knows everything about me and accepts me, but sometimes it just.....well........it just gets old.....hes such a dam party pooper..... No, SHUT UP!! !! !! ! I´m trying to type something DAMMIT!! !! !! ! Leave me alone!! !! !! !..... Oh, wait, did we say that out loud?!?

Best friend...hmm its been actually a very long time since I ever had one.

I don't have too many close friends. It freaks me out to think they expect me to call and so I just don't. Plus they expect you to do things and alot of times I don't feel like doing stuctured stuff. It is a little confining and unless people accept that, I feel trapped. I have had alot of people pursue friendships but I end up not responding, or blowing them off so many times they eventually give up. My best friend is someone I have known for 30+ years. She doesn't expect me to always call. She does all the calling and knows that sometimes I retreat and she is okay with that. Sometimes she comes over & makes me do things whether I protest or not and it ends up being great. She isn't a sissy-girl. She has a macho husband and he likes alot of the stuff my husband & I like. I don't know....maybe I feel friends are over-rated. Maybe I'm just afraid of being trapped...Maybe I don't like very many other women.
What do you like to do? That is probably a good place to look for friends.

I've had very few friends.

I have confided in a handful of people at work about my AS.

I have only one friend outside of work. I met her for the first time yesterday and ended up taking part in the Ulverston carnival along with her band. I had an amazing time.

We are going to Blackpool pleasure beach on Thursday. I don't like heights but I am looking forward to being scared sh**less.

It's been almost a year since I last saw my friends (I moved almost a year ago), but I loved playing video games or just reading together. It was actually kind of amusing; we'd all just sit around in one of our rooms and all read comics.

My best friends are online, so all I have ever been able to do with them is chat or email them. They are gamers like I am, but due to them being from different regions or not owning some of the same games, I have almost never played online with friends and thus could be a big part of why I don't care about playing online games.

One of my best friends I have great memories of 'roleplaying' with her in MSN. We basically just come up with a story or series of events on the fly (or just dialog), and act as characters from our favourite game. We put our real selves in the story as well to be with these characters. Oh man, alot of hilarious stuff has happened! You just can't predict what the other person will come up with, and we are both totally crazy women! hehe. Alot of other fun has happened in these roleplays as well, which is a bit more personal to get into.

Yes I know I'm a freak, and I love it. XD

As for my ONE in person friend, well, any time I get to spend with her I never take for granted. I like just talking with her, listening, playing videogames, shopping, whatever. I'm really easy going so I'm easy to please. But try and send me to a party or a strip club and I will just have anxiety...

I've only really got one friend and i only see him occastionally but mostly re talk about writing, books, our own novels and watch films. That's pretty much all we do and have done for years, except when we played D&D for a few years until we lost all teh other players.
Anyway that's what i do with my friend and its great, limited small talk, no chit chat just all the stuff i like talking and doing best. *sigh* heaven!! !

I don't think I've had any best friends in my life when I was younger.

However, one of the names mentioned in this thread sounds awfully familiar.
