Is it really necessary to have a best friend?

Hello,augustta,I think everyone need a best friend. We need it when we are having difficuties,or when we want to find someone to talk with, we may not need the solutions but we want to share the laughter and tears with other,in doing this ,we can have happy life as we will always have the best friend accompany us all the time.

You are right my friend. We need close friend with whom we can share everything about us. Even i have close friend, but at the time when he is busy, i prefer not to disturb him by telling my problems. So on such occasions i keep it to myself. I feel that if we share out the problems we feel little bit relieved and we get consoled by the one whom we share. We feel that they will help us out in our problem. If we keep it to ourself it will just add stree for us. So i feel that best friend is really necessary for a peaceful life! Anyway this is my opnion :)

Yes, I think that it is really necessary to have a best friend. Not many best friends, but one that you can really trust, and tell everything too. I think that I, and everyone else that has a best friend would be lonely without one. And, anyone that hasn't found one, is searching for one so that they can talk, and just tell them everything! Best friends do care about your feelings, and do care about your opinions and don't make fun of them. Best friends are the ones that are there for you when you need them, and even when you don't really need them. They are just there for you!! You would seriously be alone in the world and have bottled up emotions that need to come out. And, you can't just tell that to anyone. So, yes. I really do believe that it is necessary to have a best friend! :D

hmm. it differs from person to person.Most of the people think there shoukld be someone very close with whom you can share ur secrets and all. I have seen many introvert people also try to have a good friend.but i think for most people , yes u need one.

My Mother has been my best friend most of my life. There isn't a thing that I can't tell my mom. However it is the same way with my partner as well. We have no secrets from each other. I don't think you have to have someone to confide in but it is noce when there is someone who can listen to you when you want to talk about something.

hi augustta,i like your topics of discussion.to start with i have a thought........ "why do we say that close & open are opposites of each other though we know that the person to whom we are very close is the one we are very open with." people become friends as the time passes if they know you.but the best friend is one with whom you share your problems.best friends be there,either u are happy or sad.friends become best friends with thier love,and a sense of belonging for each other

Yes I think it is but in my case now my best Friend is my lovely Man as my Best Friend of 20 years is a bit upset with me for moving away and leading my own Life the way I want to But she will get used to it I mean she has her Husband and my Love was living 3 1/2 hours away well now he lives 40 minutes away and I am happy I can talk to him about anything I want

do i think it is necessary, that word my be relative. as humans we need the comfort of other people. life is just more fun and exciting when you have someone you love and care about to share it with. a good girlfriend is priceless, and i have the best girl friend anyone could ever ask for. so is it necessary, i guess it just may be

It is really really necessary to have a bestfriend because having bestfriend can make your life meaningful and it is hard to live without best friend.For now i have four bestfriends and i am happy to have them.I would like to have a bestfriend here online but it needs a due process to be called a best and true friend.

I think the last time I had a best friend was when I was 9. since then I was not by my own will, more or less isolated and the having of friends very much discouraged. First by my parents, my mother told me friends just get in the way of your duty to me. I was 11 when she told me this and at that time was handed the responsibility of keeping the house clean, babysitting my baby sister, and every night I babysat and had to give the money to my mother to help with the house hold bills.From there I went to my husband and he was a control freak I was never allowed to have friends as it would take away from him and I might see that people actually had good lives. After 20 years I left him and then I had to work to look after myself, and as I had no education I always worked at low paying jobs, and it wasn't until 1993 I was able to go out and enjoy myself but the people I worked with were all in their 20's and I was 50. and the place I lived in all the older people were in committed relationships and I was a 5th wheel. I left there and came to the place I live in now and again because I was working I had very little social contact. and again the people I met were in relationships and so I stayed on my own, The one thing I have learned through all this is to take car of me because there was never any one I could call on, other than my daughter and she has a small family of her own and a life as well. Do I regret never having a best friend, Can't say because You can't miss what you have never known, But I am the most independent lady you will ever meet and I like thinking for myself. so I will no doubt keep it this way.

if u have a best friend then thats a great thing to happen, but making a person your best friend just becoz u dont have any doesn't make sense..one may be having lot of friends but having a best friend is altogether a different issue.he/she must b the person with whom you can be yourself and they accept you in that way only..you can trust them..so if u have one like them then its a fortune...

I wouldn't say it is necessary to have a best friend, but it is very healthy to be able share all problems with somebody you absolutely trust. I have had good friends, but as with everything in life, things change and we all move on and I don't see them very often or sometimes not at all ever again.

It's important to have a best friend. Best friend means the one that you able to share with, your happiness, your rant and even your sadness. They are needed because that the only place where you can open yourself with. If someone without a close friend, he/she will not able to let her/his heart out. And when someone can't do that, they will produce more stress. The problem is, how do you know someone is your best friend or not.

If you are refering to one single best friend, I don't specialy need him, because what I need are some best friends. Because diversity is always better than singularity. I also believe that we can do a better work with a team. I feel that it's much better to have different perspectives of the same problem but made by people that we have complete confidence, that we think have the right to censure us.

Best friend is something you might have a desire for, but it is not necessary that you will have one. It is not a question of being a necessity of having or not having one. I believe that best friend is something which might happen to you even if you are not craving for it. It is like meeting someone and then becoming close to that person. Having a best friend is always desirable as I feel that friends are the ones who would be with you in your good as well as your bad days.

everybody should have a friend, few friends would be a great help, and in tight situations, best friends trully are a blessing. Yes, it is necessary. Life is sometimes lonely & sometimes you are in a struggle, and a best friend is a great companion. As well as in great times, it's good that you have someone to share those times. Man is not an island, as they say. A movie by Tom hanks "Cast-away" is about being alone, and a proof that no one can go through life alone & happy at the same time.

My wife has been my lover and best friend for as long as we've been together. There is absolutely nothing we can't talk to each other about. I have acquaintances, but I wouldn't be telling them stuff that's too personal anyway. I had a couple of close friends before we got married, but as you get older, your priorities change, and your lives take different directions. I am very happy with the way things are now. Wife or best friend? They are one and the same!!

I dont think its necessary, but it does help to know you have a best friend. Bests friends to me are people who respect you and your ideas, love you for who you are, love and accept your children, who can come in and out of your house with comfort and respect, that has your back and looks out for you, best friends are open and honest and always keeps it real with you. Best friends are people you can count on for anything and people who you can totally trust, practically like a sister you didnt have. It is a good thing if you have a best friend... I have 4 best friends that I love very much... Ones in jail, 2 live in my town and 1 lives in another city... We make a point of going to see our other friend who is behind bars, thats what best friends do...
