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.
