Friends, Best Friends

[bshee58]

I have a close friend that i have been knowing since we were in elementary school, we keep in touch, but not every day.

Maybe she's only being clingy because she believes you two are best friends- maybe it'd be a good idea to let her know in a nice way the feeling is not mutual?
[/quote   She is very nice and sensitive I detect. We worked together 25 yrs ago and even then I never really talked with her. She just remembered me from the job. And all of a sudden I'm her best friend.

I have a couple close friends.  No one gets upset if the other doesn't answer every call.  Tolerance and understanding are a part of friendship.

I have a few really close friend and when they don't answer right away there is a good reason. We all still work and have a least one child left at home and some in college so guess we understand that we are busy and will get back to each when time permits.

I don't think I really have a best friend either. I have lots of people that I am friendly with. I think a best friend is a kids thing.

I don't have what I call a true "best" friend.  I have acquaintances, some closer than others.  However, none of them expect me to answer whenever they call.  If any of them ever gave me grief over that particular thing, I probably would explain a few things to them nicely and the second time i might just put distance between myself and that person.

I don't have a best friend because you really can't trust people.  I tried that some years ago and regretted it.

I guess I grew out of best friends when I became a wife and mother.  I have my gal pals. But the days of dropping everything for a friend became to hard to juggle when other obligations became priority.  I try and be a good friend but even now that all but 1 of my children are grown... I can't imagine being joined at the hip with another girl or guy unless it's for better or for worse until death do us part.

I know the feeling   but there are still good people in the world

I don't have a best friend because you really can't trust people.  I tried that some years ago and regretted it.

Heck,no! I used to have a best friend but she changed her lifestyle and now she is very weird.
