There are a couple of people who I'd say are my best friends. But I don't think they'd call me their best friend. One of their best friends MAYBE, but definitely not their best friend.

I have friends, but I wouldn't say I'm anyone's best friend. At one point in time I believe I was, but that's not now.

There is someone who I consider my best friend, and he considers me one of his best friends. I don't know if I'm his best friend, and it doesn't matter. As long as he treats me well, it's all good. There are a couple people who consider me their best friend, but I don't consider them to be great friends. All three of them are way too co-dependent and annoying to be a friend, and for that matter, they aren't too bright. It's hard to confide in someone who doesn't understand what you are saying. It's even harder to confide in someone who only likes you because you give them attention. If I'm nothing more than a filler for time, then I suppose that I should treat them the same way. And so I do.

Nope, not at all. I have a few best friends but to them I am probably just another friend.

I had a best friend in high school. Things tailed off when we went to different universities. I have no idea where she is or what she's doing now. I have another friend who was also the odd one out in school. I'm still in touch with her. I also have my husband. Without him I would probably be incredibly isolated from the world.

I suspect I am one person's best friend.

I don't play the best friend game. You're either a friend or you aren't.

I have had quite a few best friends.
Now I don't have one, which is fine with me. I don't put in enough effort, people seek me out and I rebuff them. Don't know why. I'm just more comfortable reading in the library :D
I have never made a friend...they always made the effort and I responded clumsily, and they were nice enough not to care. But they were always girls. Girls are very difficult to deal with, especially when they want hugs (I had no clue how to give a hug at 12/13, like the other girls did...it's not like I wasn't hugged as a child. I was. Don't know why it was hard.) and giggles about stupid things.

I've never had a best friend throughout my life and prefer to be casual friends with one person at a time rather than having a network of "close" friends.

I think the need for best friends is greater if you live outside of a collectivist close-knit extended family with cousins, siblings, uncles and aunts etc......

In my families case nobody likes me very much so I'm hoping to try my luck now with an extra-terrestrial.

Its just recently that i realised im different I was always lonely, both my parents had serious psychological problems, father was alcoholic, mom indifferent, brother rude and arrogant
I am really scared of being lonely i have had friends but the friendship changes after a while so i dont cling onto people i just let them go. I hardly make friends
They stay with me only till the time im working at the same place, or leaving in the same colony after i move away they dont keep in touch....
its hard really to leave without friends or parents
I often see other girls going to their parents house, meeting their cousins or outing with friends but im a isolated case.

I might be my bunny's... but he's kind of forced to be around me so I can't really tell, at least
we're nice to each other. (:
