Do you have a friend that expects you to answer every last one of their calls? She calls me her best friend but I don't feel the same. Clingy, maybe? :confused1:
I have learned not to emotionally connect myself to anyone. I hate rejection and it hurts when the friendship ends. (for whatever reason).

I have two best friends who I love and would do anything for and know they feel the same. But we can be honest with each other, if we are busy we will always answer texts or phones and say can I get back to you. My sister once had a high school friend who wanted to be my sister’s best friend, she would call to talk to her and if I answered and told her she wasn’t home she would ask me where did she go, who is she with? Naturally I wouldn’t tell her. My sister said if the 2 of them went out, things were great but if she asked another friend to come along the ‘best friend’ would be mad all night and barely talk. After a few of these, my sister dropped her like a hot potato. Way too clingy and needy.

No, I do not have those kinds of friend. My husband is my best friend.
-
I do not really have a best friend. I'm more of the acquaintance type person. 8) 8)
-
No I don't have those kind of friends. I have friends but not best friends
-
I have close friends, and we will do anything to support each other in a crisis, but we also understand and respect that we are individuals with separate lives and are not needy like that.

I have 2 best friends one since 1997 and the other since 1994. We can be on the phone for hours or just a quick text. We know that each of us loves the other very much. Both are far away from me and yet sometimes it seems like they are just next door and seem to know when I need cheering up and it is the same way with what I feel for them. We just seem to know.

I'm kind of a loner I don't really have what you call a best friend I have the girl that I work with we go out to eat or something like that and I share a lot of things with her about what's going on in my life and stuff but I like to be by myself to do my own thing and I most definitely do not like clingy people like what you're talking about
-
I've been in that situation and in retrospect I realize that I have put someone else in that position. What's sad to me is that you 'have learned' not to connect with people emotionally. I'm saying this because I care. Your life will miss out on so much joy if that's how you continue to live.
-
I had a friend that I called "best friend" until I realized she really wasn't. I do have a couple a good friends though.
-
I use to have a friend like that and was happy that I axed him off as a friend.
-
I have a few friends that are close but my sister is my best friend and cannot compare to others even though I can only tell her certain things I cannot tell my friends and vice versa.
-
I don't have any friends, let alone best friends. Gave up on people a long time ago when I graduated high school. I'm uncomfortable around others now, and I never have anything in common with anyone. And maybe I sound like a jerk, but I really don't like anyone enough to want to be around them on purpose anyway. I've got my husband and my pets and that's all I need.
-
I have several close friends. Some I don't see very often, but when we do get together, it's like we've never been apart. Easy conversation, no judgement, lots of laughter, sometimes tears. They're like a safe haven in the storm.
-
My husband is the only that expects me to answer every call.

I get ya!!!

I have a good friend that I would do anything for and they would do anything for me. Other than that it is just my immediate family.
-
I don't have any best friends. I have a friend that I have known for over ten years, but I don't consider her my best friend. We kind of had an falling out and I for gave her, but we just aren't that close anymore.
-
I really don't have any close friends. My husband is the only one that I keep close too.

thank god no

Anyone who sys there a friend who expects anything besides friendship isn't a friend at all

No! That would be annoying! Lol And not part of a healthy friendship. They're putting too much pressure/responsibility on you to be available at the drop of a hat. There needs to be an ease and understanding in a friendship. :)

friend for forever

This is why you have caller ID. Ignore the call. You have to be able to show that type of person that you aren't at their beck and call. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be nice.

My baby sister who is my best friend is sometimes like that..if i dont answer her call or text because i may be doing something and i answer her back later,she pouts and wont answer back...i have to text her several times before she answers...
-
Unfortunately, I've had to separate myself from almost everyone in my life for one reason or another so no, I don't have that problem. The one friend I do talk to often is very respectful of my time and I am the same way for her.
-
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?
-
My hubby is my best friend and been that way for 38 years.
-
I'm alone also, with the exception of my kids. I text my best friend daily, she lives in another state, and my ex husband calls a lot, that's about it. I've been ok with it but next year I'd like to socialize more- for balance.

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

[/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 :)

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