When I’m down in the dumps and I say I don’t need fixing, they sit down right next to me even if it’s in the mud.
Unlike the attachment I have w my dear ole dad, all of the attachments I have to my little brain trust are secure.
My best friend is a guy. I love that our friendship feels so… natural? We’re just as happy getting a lowkey meal together or seeing an exhibit or going for a walk etc. We don’t share the same views on everything but our ‘vibe’ matches. We share life advice about mortgages and stuff. We’ve grown into adults together over the last decade and we can talk about anything. He’s kind, funny, all round great dude. We have so many in-jokes. We’re on the same wavelength. We’d be there for each other through anything. It’s meant to be.
We have our own romantic partners but that’s never an issue, and shouldn’t be. I don’t believe in ‘relationship hierarchy’. My best friend is my best friend. I feel so fortunate to know him!
Aw this is a wonderful question. Ok so- I really love the way that my two older sisters are creative, and expressive. I love having inside jokes with them, and I love that they are curious about the little quirks of life. I love how they are off the charts intelligent, and both have tremendous deep reserves of willpower. They are both humble as well – always working on being better and trying so hard despite being thrown so much craziness in life!
He’s the male version of me. We can be a bit silly when no one’s watching and we have our own weird gestures no one can really understand. I like being silly around him and watch his face light up. Also he’s always up for a good in depth conversation wherever he’s free of course. We can talk for hours on end for almost anything under the sun.
EVERYTHING. don’t make me choose 🤣
She makes me a calmer and happier person and also we have the FUNNEST times whenever we go.
And I hope I offer the same to her 🤗🤗
their compassion, patience, wit/humor, work ethic, steadfast to morals while openminded. theyre amazing women☺️
She makes me laugh so much… She’s so much fun.
She’s so genuinely herself. She doesn’t care about what people think. I can talk about anything and everything with her. She’s just the best.
My SO was going over to her country for work so I asked him to deliver something to her. It was going to be the first time they meet. He went for a hug and she denied him 🤣 He got so hurt and thought she was weird and had no idea why I was friends with her.
They next met at my wedding… and after spending a few days with her, he told me he understood why we’re friends. Melted my heart lol. But he was still like whyTF isn’t she giving me a hug when she’s literally hugging EVERYONE else 🤣 I told him what she told me, that she has boundaries and isn’t gonna hug *my* guy. And that’s exactly why she’s my bff. Obvs nothing gonna happen even if they hug lol, but the fact that she boundaries.
I don’t have one but I wish I did.
I would adore their sense of humour (dark of course!) and their compassion and the ability to be honest with how they are feeling even if it is hard.
Let me tell you about my best friend. We met 11 years ago on the internet because I bought a pair of discontinued leggings from her in a B/S/S group. We had both sought them out for our respective trips to Ireland. We kept in touch after that and a few years later she coincidentally moved a few hours away from me about 7 years ago so we met for the first time. We both moved away within 2 years.
We’re both now childless cat ladies in our 30s. I can count on two hands the number of times I have seen my best friend in person. We don’t talk every day. But I can say without a doubt that this is the most important person in my life.
Twice now (in one year, no less) I’ve told her that I would be performing in my pole dance studio’s showcase. This isn’t a major competition or a big stage; this is dancing in a room for 50 people. Without prompting, without question, she has said “and I will be there.” She flew across the country to watch me dance for 5 minutes, twice. And she cried with joy for me both times.
She is my biggest supporter, the ultimate hype woman. She knows my biggest hurts and deepest insecurities and even though she is far away from me, I know that no matter what she is right there by my side, cheering me on.
Im crying right now writing this because I’ve never felt so loved and supported by anyone. Not parents, not partners. No one else has ever made me feel like I deserved it.
I love you, K.
She’s the gentlest force of natue I’ve ever met. Very independent and resilient, posses dry wit, and impeccable taste, she likes what she likes with no self doubt, however she is open to new experiences. She knows her limits and sticks to whatever boundaries she has drawn in terms of relationships, work life balance, etc.
She’s also very reserved and takes forever to open up. Being her friend and having her confidence is a gift.
We’ve been there for eachother through each of own mental health struggles and we mesh super well together. We’re both pretty introverted. Some of my favourite memories I have growing up are eating sandwiches after school and reading Archie comics together. Her mom would tease us because we weren’t interacting with eachother. She’s one of the few people in my life I’ve always found a sense of peace around and while we have great conversations were happy to “interact” without talking💙
It’s her birthday this weekend so I’m actually seeing her tomorrow. We only get to see eachother once or twice a year usually so I’m super excited🎈
Genuinely my friends are the funniest people I’ve ever met. (I’m sure everyone thinks that though) although one time a girl said to me, in front of my friends, “I just don’t think girls are funny.” Sad for her!
My woman best friend is loyal and honest…she is a really GOOD person with great values and sincerity…she is the kind of person Who accept her flaws always trying to do better and never pretends to be someone she is not…she emulate and support me unconditionnaly…
My man best friend sincere and loyal too…he is a good person and a great listener and he is really calm and chill…he has strong family values and he is respectful
Both of them always showed up for without me asking for help…and they really got along well
I’ m really blessed to have them in my life
(Sorry if I’m not fluent I’m french)
Loyalty
Their incredibly healthy demonstration of boundaries, trust, and respect. It’s so beautiful to watch.

Shes rlly funny and smart and pretty !!!
She’s so educated, her job is for a union, she’s a mom and still goes out. I’m such a fan!
They don’t fix my problems, they stand beside me through them. Their presence alone feels like safety.
I have 4 super close friends that I consider to be my chosen family and I think the biggest thing is that anything is fun when i’m with them. Running an errand, getting dinner, walking the dog, cooking together, just driving around, wandering through walmart. It’s all just fun. No better way to explain it.
They notice the little things about me that most people miss..
We get to be silly and hang out in our undies!
the fact that they put up with me
I love how genuine they are. It blows my mind how they want the best for me, sometimes even when they are hurting or in a bad place. We willfully cheer each other on and take happiness in each other’s happiness. It’s the most wholesome friendship ever.
I love that she’s so herself in every situation and also how any amount of time can pass since we last texted eachother and we still pick up right where we left off
They are fully accepting of me as a person, like who I truly am. My goofy ass weirdo self who has struggled my entire life to have any long term real friendships with anyone.
They are there for support whenever I need it and my absolute best friend is my complete ride or die I know without a doubt they would have my back for anything.
They are kind, considerate and incredibly caring people who make me feel so incredibly fortunate
They’re amazing people.
One is loving and attentive and so full of goodness. What i adore about her is her soul. One is hilarious and confidant and easy to draw insparation from.
One is having a hard time getting oast her fears but keeps trying anyway.
Their selfishness
Over the years I’ve cut ties with about 4 so-called ‘best friends.’ All secret animosity and shit.
Today, I feel truly blessed to have the two who remain, both anchoring my life in different yet equally meaningful ways:
– Childhood friend: She has seen me at my best and at my absolute worst, yet with her I am always my truest self. Around her, I can completely let go, almost “brainless” in the best way because her presence makes me feel safe and at peace. Hard to explain how special she is.
Though we work in different professions and have different interests, our conversations flow effortlessly. Time with her feels like stepping into another universe, filled with endless hee hee ha ha.
If there is anyone I trust more than myself, it’s her.
– My high school friend is like a mirror in many ways. We’ve often been the misunderstood pretty women all our lives. This kind of struggle per se is very difficult to explain to someone who never been through.
Beneath that surface, we are funny, non-competitive, supportive women who simply work hard for the finer things in life.
We share an almost paradoxical mix: we may look “vain,” but we’re deeply nerdy at heart. From legal writing to SQL code, she values the things I love and share my genuine excitement for knowledge.
I deeply respect her journey and her strength. Her acknowledgement and understanding mean a lot to me. And I very much feel seen by her.

She knows all my embarrassing stories and somehow still chooses to hang out with me 😂
I’ve done some really stupid things. She is non judgmental but she calls me out when I’m being toxic.
I have two best friends tho I love them both equally.
He’s simple amazing
She has absolutely -100% patience for bullshit. Our favorite activity is going places and then being like “this fucking sucks” and making our own adventures
