I have this childhood friend that i have known since forever. I also have this friend since high school. Well, we've known each other for 10 years. We work at the same company and we live at the same house for 6 months already. But instead of being more close to each other, i feel farther from her than before. How long will the time be that you're together for you to consider a friend your best friend?

Well, I think years doesn't count. I have a friend who is also my room mate for 8 months and my friend for five years. We have the same curly hair, same size of bra and waist and love to eat. I consider her as my best friend but I don't know if she felt the same way. It doesn't matter anyway. I am happy if we are doing an activity that we enjoy together like cooking and eating, singing and even nothing at all just inside our room. I think you don't have to worry who is the best just enjoy and be happy.

for me, not until you are faced in a situation where this friendship is tested. you will neveer know if you can trust a person with your friendship and life. many people pose as friends in our lives and leaves as soon as they think they have nothing to get from us anymore. be careful. it is not easy to find a true friend.

I think that your best friend is the person that you feel closest to. Time and distance should not really impact on a friendship, but unfortunately they do. I just think that you should really be able to have a best friend and if they are nice to you and you keep the connection they will be able to be your friend hopefully forever.

If one is my best friend he/she would be by me in my adversity and happiness. He/she would not flee like the so called fiends. A real friend would share joy and sorrow and remains committed forever and wouldn't ask anything in return. Even if you scold him/her he/she would not mind but would request you to explain what was wrong with his/her.

If a person is by my side whenever i need him/her If he listens to me, no matter how irritating i might be.... If he/she understands what i am going through and i don't need to tell them that somethings wrong in my life.... If he/she like me just for the way i am and not because i attend to their fancies.... If you like spending the maximum time with that person..... And all the more if that person calls you back after 10 years to ask you how you are doing..... Congratulations you found a BEST FRIEND..... i may not be absolutely right....its just my view.....
