Do you think you are anyone's best friend?

Predictable...

And you still don't get it, do you. It's not really the past that matters and it's not about you. I'm looking for answers.

I do have a best friend, she lives in Virginia. She and I met about 14 years ago at a job. We've been tight ever since. Her son has AS. He's my godson.

Outside of my family, NO. I am nobody's best friend and never have been. It's kind of hard when you live on two different planets.

I am fortunate to have 5 great kids. Four daughters and a son. My daughters and my daughter in law are like best friends to me. I also have a sister who is a "best" friend.

Any friends I did have after marriage were usually the wives or girlfriends of my husband's friends and those relationships were shallow. I had one wonderful friend thirty years ago who was like a mother, she died early on in our friendship.

No. I know I'm not. And I never was. That's except for my boyfriend, we're kind of best friends I guess.

I'm my own best friend..........wasn't that a famous saying in the 70's?

It's weird - people I'm friends with but want to be 'best friends' with always already have a 'best friend.' It can be hard, feeling like they're you're best friend and not having it be reciprocated. I had 2 really close friends, but neither did I look at as my 'best friend' - I didn't actually feel the need to have one - I was really close with both of them and hung out a lot with both of them, and they were very different and I enjoyed different things about them. One I think considered me her best friend, but she would get on my nerves so much sometimes that I had a hard time reciprocating, although she is the person I spend the most time with/talk to the most. When we were leaving for college, my other friend told me I was her only real close friend - I'd never really realized it before. She seemed to have so many other friends going - I was kind of touched when she told me I was the only person she was ever really close with, in a genuine way. So I guess I have had best friends, but I never thought of it that way. It wasn't as obvious as it is with some people.

I "matter" to noone but my 2 daughters.

I know I am not 'best friends' with anyone. The few friends I have all have other friends that they like better than me who they can call their 'best friends'.

I'm considered a "Brother" to many of my friends, so I think that qualifies as best friend! XD

I thought I was best friend to someone, but after telling them about my suspicions regarding my AS status I haven't heard from them for well over a month.

So no, I guess I'm nobody's best friend - well, nobody human anyway

I think I was some people's best friend for a while each. It's been many years since I've been close to any human, though.

Not a chance. Maybe in the past, but not anymore.

I had a best friend when I was a child, but he hates me with a passion now. I have a new best friend, someone I have know for years, but did not realize he regarded me as his best friend until we had a horrible fight a few nights ago and I said some things that made him very angry and now I regret it, I never thought he considered me his best friend until he said it, then I realized, he was the 1 I hang with the most since high school, he is the one I truly trust, he is the one who always likes doing things with me, tho we are different we like many things. I prey to God I can make things right, I hope I dont loose him it would be a wound I never would heal from, and now I am in danger of loosing him simply cause I had to be right to win a fight, i said some things over the phone I dont think I 100% meant and now I need to think about things, think about his feelings, chill out and learn not to treat him baddly anymore.

Sorry for the rant... I went off topic...

My best friend Patrick was actually probable the first person who learned to understand me and we been friends since.

i was lucky enough that i have a huge family...because i didn't really have any friends to invite to mine...i had three people come who were my 'friends' but they really weren't, they still are but they are not....

i have had the problem of considering people to be closer friends to me than i am to them. maybe i'm just too needy...or maybe i need to find friends that don't already have multitudes of friends, and therefore see some friendships as dispensible? i don't really think i ever had 'best friends'....not ones that lasted more than a short time...and that i don't think counts for much of anything.

i've now just resigned myself to accept what few friends i have, and if i don't have a 'best friend', well then, i'll still survive. i don't feel the need for a lot of friends. i'm happy having a handful that i am comfortable around, and comfortable talking to.

...friends? What's that?

Yeah, I'm nobody's. That's the damn truth.

Maybe when I was way younger.
