Is it Necessary to Have a Best Friend ?

A best friend is very important for everyone. He or she will share your merriment and sorrow. He or she will be an excellent teacher when you are confused, a great listener when you are sad. A best friend often bring you the spiritual strength whenever you need he or she.

I think it is really nice myself to have close and best freinds. One of my best friends I have known since childhood. Another best friend I have known for over 10 years now. I am not sure if it is Neccessary but it is really nice to have close friends that you can confide in and tell them what is going on in your life.

Dear friend, I hope it depends upon each individual how that individual treats his friends how much one share his part to his friends. If there is a best friend I hope it is well and good. Moreover if there are good friends to share I hope one could get many good suggestions for his problems. Hence I having a best friend is better than not having.

I do have many good friends but not a single Best Friend. My only Soul mate in life is God. He is the one I confide in. I agree that we do need a channel to share our happiness, joys, sorrows and secrets in life. I tend to share happiness and joys with my friends. I share my sorrows and secrets (of course, joys and happiness too) with God. I feel more comfortable that way. I've been betrayed by friends and am therefore not very trusting towards people.

It is not necessary to have it,best friends are gift from God,we are not looking for it,it accidentally comes in your life.Best Friend are earned,they just come quickly

i have a best friend when i was younger, but when i got disfellowed from our religion, she was not allowed to communicate with me as a means of teaching me a lesson. now we have lost in touch. it's nice to have a best friend to share your thoughts with. i consider my husband as my best friend for now, but i would also love to have a best friend who is a woman or a parent like me to whom i can share my thoughts, my pain and my joys.

Yes, because your best friend is usually there for you when no one else is. Everyone needs a best friend.

I personally don't think it is necessary to have a best friend. I have a best friend whom I speak with whenever I need to and whom I share my thoughts with. Now, I don't think it would be right to have a "best friend" just for the sake of sharing your problems. We all have friends. The status of a best friend is deeper in my opinion. I think that there is a big difference between having friends and having a best friend who knows you inside out. There's a saying that in case you lose yourself, your friends (especially your bestfriend) will know how to put you back on track...

It's not that necessary to have a best friend. But in my opinion, it's very important to have friends, buddies and family around you. It's always good to be with people who will be with you in your ups and downs in life. it doesn't necessarily have to be a best friend.

when it's necessary to have frenz, its naturally that we need Best frenz too ^_^ We can confide in our frenz about things, but we dun confide in the mabout everything as we only have a certain level of trust in them ^_^ And so when a certain fren has manage to bring that trust to a higher level, we will feel closer to them, and slowly we start to confide more in them and they become our best fren ^_^ A best frenz is like our buddy, our brother/sister, we share everything and we understand how each other feels, will go all out to help each other and support each other, giving us confidence when we need it ^_^

hi ashar123 for me yes I need my best friend as I would die of loneliness and bordeom here away from downtown and retired with out any job now, and elderly so a lot of people dont want to be around an old person, gross oehh!,but we go out for dinner every other Wednesday and have a ball just talking to each other. It keeps me in the loop and also mylotting is helping me to fill my days.

I don't have one and I wish that I did. So I'd say it's not necessary but it's better to have one than not!

Well, after I had my daughter I realized who were my true friends and who were not because regardless that I have a daughter it should not have changed my relationship with them but many (who do not have children) think of it as an obstacle because they just see it as not being the same but I guess they will not know until they come across the situation. My so called best friends actually disappeared during the time I most needed them so I can say that one can survive with out a best friend just by being positive no matter what one encounters. A lot of people distress themselves by expressing their emotions about certain situations to their best friends. Here on mylot you receive great responses from people all around the world and to me in some form it is better than telling one person since here you get a variety of different opinions since everyone's views about a subject are totally different.

As of my experience best friends are those who never forget each other. In some instances guys have lot of friends with whom they spend some of their life time, so in such case we cant identify who is the one who's closer to you. I have experienced like for many of my friends i am the best friend for them, so such instances are notable. It depends on how the relation you make with all of your friends. Even i share all my secretes to all of my buddies. A best friend can be a male or female. And in this generation life span is very less and that is why we shd enjoy our life with all fun and joy and make friends as much as possible.

it is always good to have a best friend. there is someone you can rely, share your ideas, secrets etc. but i think its not manadatory. still it depends on your nature.

No, I do not think it is necessary to have a best friend. I consider my ex being my best friend. But, we also have a history together, have been throu a lot of things during our time together. Ok, we are no longer together, but i am certain that if he did not change his way of life, we still would be. We have two kids together so we are destend to be friends as long as they are around us. I have friends at my job, but do not consider them as my best friends. They are my cow workers, friends at work.

i have many friends, and many close friends, and three best friends. i believe it is necessary to have a best friend

Its not necessary but i think it helps out a lot and makes life a little more worth living.. you can be each others rock and when life sucks which it will always suck at one time or another then you have some one to help you get through it with out losing your mind.. i wouldnt go as far as you HAVE to have one but i think most people need one and everyone should have the chance to have one.. some people are better alone though..

I believe that nobody can live a life without a friend. Doesn't necessary mean a best friend but somebody who will accompany you at times you are happy or at times when you need someone to talk to. To find a best friend is hard since there are lots of weathered friends...Most of them they will just be there for you at times you were happy but at times when you have no one to run to you can never rely on them. Sad but true. If theres somebody i would consider as my bestfriend that would be God. Why? because God is the only one who stood by me at times of trouble and despair. At times when i know i commit mistakes and everybody is judging me God was the only one who is there for me and understand my failures and frustrations in life. So having a best friend would be a good thing to have but they are hard to find.Is it necessary to have a bestfriend? yes ofcourse but it doesnt mean only peers can be your best friend. It can be your parents or one of your siblings or even your partner.
