Do you have any best friend ?

Post Reply New Topic

I have good friends but none that would fall under "Best" as I don't trust anyone.

I have a best friend who fits all of the criteria in the first post. I don't know him in real life since we live in different states - I know him only from this website. We talk every day over PM, and he is the kindest, gentlest and most patient person I have ever spoken to besides my mom. I'm proud to call him my best friend.

I have 3 best friends and 3 regular friends. I trust and love my family the most, my best friends a little less, and my regular friends a little less than them.

Yes. I do. We also happen to be cousins. Some people think that means it doesn't count, but I don't understand that. Half of my cousins barely speak to me, so family doesn't make for automatic friends.

We were always friendly as kids, but we didn't become BFFs until a few years ago. My grandpa got really sick so my father wanted to visit him a lot. Since my cousin lives next door to my grandpa, I spent a TON of time at her house. We bonded over our mutual interest in LOTR and then Twilight. Now that she is in collage, I don't see her much. We are drifting apart a little.

I use to, for over 10 years, we did everything, gamed together, were like brothers and were even working on a story together. Until I realized this so called friend was totally bringing me down, had no respect for me, probably saw me as a toy and I was coasting through his English degree using my ideas for a story he's trying to publish now. I made an angry "honest" note on FB but my true feelings for him, among other people and his only response was a sarcastic "Are you finished? Stop lurking on facebook now.".

When I think of him I get so angry, today I had a meltdown where his words played in my head and I started to punch myself over and over. At first it was soft but then I started thinking of him and his mocking typical macho s**t. "BE A MAN. MANLY MANLY MANLY. LOOK AT ME AND HOW AWESOME I AM" and now I have bruises on my face. He thinks nothing of the FB fiasco and really thinks I'm going to come back (I've had minor melt downs to him in the distant past but this is the first in years).


He loves video games more than me though and he was very excited about playing Diablo 3 and I know I'm the person he wanted to come along and kill s**t with. I have a feeling when the 15th comes he will try emailing me or acting concerned, or simply tell me to get over it. Maybe he won't, I did send him another message recently that was very violent. I hope it scared him.

I'm finished with him and feel oddly liberated. We are total opposites on the political spectrum and he lives a very sheltered, good life yet thinks because he's catholic all his opinions are the ONLY ones that matter. He thinks people with aspergers or social issues such borderline, schizo, social anxiety etc are walking jokes and he views people who get government aid as scum. Sure hope he never has to get any! He has this impression he is a hard, manly working that's earned everything in his life yet his mother has gotten him every job he's had and he lives in a very close knit community, unlike me.

Over that time you must have had plenty of good times together. He sounds like a manipulative prick but we all have our problems. Diablo III only launches once and if you like to play games then join in. You are both aging together and may just want to spend less time together. I have a few friends that I only see every few years.

Nope.
Although I get along with 2 of my nephews and one of them has AS.

Yeah, I actually have three close friends. Or used to be close, actually. One is on the other side of the planet. In Tapei, Taiwan actually. The other two live in Atlanta. If not for FaceBook I would never get to talk to them anymore..
Locally, I have no true friends. Well, one. But not like these were/are..

Sincerely,
Matthew

I've had many best friends, although none currently. I'm actually ok with not having a best friend right now. I often find friends to be a distraction from being productive with my primary obsessions.

No I don't have any best friends.

Yes I do. She was once my boss and after another friendship failed I formalized my current friendship, we haven't got to much in common but talking to her even briefly makes my day with while. I can trust her enough to share with her my suspicions of having Asperger's and she was very helpful when my grandfather died last year. She is the greatest friend a suspected aspie could have.

Most of my friends are animals.
