Is It Possible????

I think it's possible to have more then one best friend. I have two best friends. They are friends with each but not best friends with each. They know each other through me. We all have the same quirky personalities so we manage to get along very well. I've never had to keep ine secret from the other.

Hey ya its possible... We don't keep secrets from best friends so confusion and forgetting is not really in the whole picture. It maybe hard to perceive more than one best friend but hey, don't look at it that way, just hear the phrase "A group of best friends" and everything will be very simple LOL... Happy mylotting......

Please explain with what you think what is a Best Friend?

I am not sure if I have a best friend. When I consider a person a friend I consider her/him the best. I don't give levels to friend... You are my friend and I for me you are the best. I rarely say to a person that he/she is a friend... Because when I say that person is a friend, I am hundred percent sure that that is through thick and thin.

i have always had one best friend and i think it will stay that way. I know for some that having more than best friend is quite common but for me I guess it's nice to have that just one person where you can confide everything in all aspects whether it may be work, life in general, perspectives etc. comfortably. I have other close friends too but these friends do not share everything similar to my opinions and such. It's hard to explain my bestfriend and i do not agree on some things too but there's just something that makes it work and i guess it's great to find that something in a friend and that is what makes them your bestfriend. :)

I have a few best friends. Each has their own life situation, different ages, etc. I can go to any one of them with my problems and be assured that they will keep the confidence and will comfort me in any way they can. I would do the same for them. I appreciate this because if I need any kind of advice, I can approach the one who can give the best advice due to their circumstances. Or more than one. Over time, some of them live in different locations, some are here. It doesn't seem to matter. If I haven't been in touch with one in a long time, seems we always just pick up where we left off. Friendships are the flowers in the garden of life! =) Have a happy day!

Now if your granddaughter is in her teens or is a child then of course its possible to have multiple best freinds around you...and they do keep changing with class or year in college or minor hiccups and so on. I remember my own school days...today we are best freinds, something 'silly' happens tomorrow and we are no longer so and somebody other takes place. Sometimes its a group of three or four girls who are best friends and they share every secret.

A friend is normaly someone you share a common interest with, not always but most times. I have several best friends and share different interest with them than with the others. Friends are not supposed to share information to others. I do not talk to friends about friends unless it is something good. In fact, I don't talk about the bad things of my friends to anyone. In my opinion, you can have more that one best friend, and if you are all mature enough, they can know about each other as well, and even be friends if they desire. Friends are not jealous. Friends love one another. That makes me think of 1Cor.13, the chapter in the Bible that says what love is and do, and what love does not do. Love your friends, respect them, nevver talk about their mistakes, etc, and you can make each friend a best friend. Many blessings

u can be best friends to whomever u want to and as much people as you want. just respect each one individually, and keep each one's secret between u and that person.

Well, the word "best" is used to separate one from the rest. It does exist two at a time. You take a survey of one hundred items, at last you are expected to come up just one best out the rest. My dear if you are two best friends, you don't have a best friend yet.

The word "best," by its very meaning, usually means one of a kind, so in that sense, you'd think one could only have a single best friend at a time. I think our definition of best friends changes as we mature. Sometimes, there will be a small group who all consider themselves best of friends. I suppose we can have several best friends, all of whom we love equally, just as a mother has more than one child but considers each of them the "best" kid in the world. Interesting topic! Makes one think.

from my view, i think best friend only 1 , good friends or friends can have a lot . the word "best " to me is from all among the friends and you choose her/him to be the best . if people ask you what is your best subjects, of course you will tell him/her the subject that you're best in .

I believe you can have more then one best friend... I have couple of them... The major thing is trust.. If you can not trust your best friend then they really are not a best friend to begin with! My best friends even know each other, they dont talk about something to each other behind my back... at the same time I do not talk bad about one to the other.. In order to have more then one you have to be honest with them.. Granted there are certain things that I do not share with all of them... it just happens...as long as you are honest about what you are talking about, then if something happens to get out well it was just suppose to come out.. might be upset, but would just accept it.

i'm really confused with this thing too.. i have a bestfriend during Primary school, then also another bestfriend during high school and another bestfriend in my college.. but i don't know if i could talk to 3 of them at the same time and how should i introduce each of them to the other two.. it's complicated! all of them are my best friends.. hehehe

I have never had more then one best friend. I have many friends but only one that I can tell anything and everything to. I would be afraid to slip up something I wasnt supposed to say to the other. I try not to hold secrets and I think they can ruin relationships and friendships if the wrong person finds out. When I was younger maybe younger then 10 I had 3 best friends. Now that I am older I only have one and that is all I need.

Hi I personally feel that only some of us have a best friend in our life. We are to used to the term best friend where we give them the position if they are close to us for a few years but the term implies for those who have been with us at both hard and easy time, a person that have shared even the most simplest thing in their life and same goes to us. We have to be there for that person and thats the relationship knows as best friend to me. Personally I have friends and some close ones but to me I have not considered anyone as my best friend till today. Thanusha

For me, having a single best friend would not really be possible. I have too many different facets of my life that interest me. Not all of these interest my friends. Therefore, I have best friends that share specific interests with me and others who share other specific interests. As for the secrets, I am not into doing the secrets thing. If they feel they need to tell me something in secret, I never promise to keep that secret because of not knowing first what it is. Sometimes it can be dangerous to keep secrets for friends. So, basically I steer clear of secrets. I don't share mine and I try not to participate in sharing other people's secrets. I never saw the point of keeping secrets anyway. I am an honest person and I believe honesty up front is always best. But if I had to explain this to my granddaughters, I would say maybe an example like this....one of my friends might love to go fishing while my other friends hate fishing. Another best friend and I might love to crochet while other friends are bored with that. So, really all my friends are my best friends. I think the way children have best friends is something children do, and it can end up hurting good friendships when friends start getting jealous of each other. I always tried to teach my children that it isn't important to have one best friend and that when the other friends start getting upset because of your choices in friends, then maybe they aren't the best kinds of friends to have. It's kind of like teaching them to share their toys. Friends need to learn to share each other with other friends especially if interests are different.

Hello flutterbykisses, I have two best friends, we've been together since junior high, completely unseperable in school. But since I lived far away from them, they always spend more time together and I'v been jelous because of this, when the next day they were talking about all those cool things they did. I felt like I'm less important. But at those times they could read my feeling perfectly, always cheering me up. At the end of junior high one of my friends moved to another city and I was left with the second friend. We went to the same school and our friendship flourished. We never forgot about our friend in another city, we've been meeting with each other, helping when we had problems. And In high school I gained another best friend, it was a girl which attended the same junior high as me, but were just classmates back then and became best friends in high school. But in my primary school I had one very special friend, different from others. We were very alike, shared the same interest hobbys. She was the best friend I ever had but somehow our friendship didn't last, most because of me. I really regret it, because I know that I may never meet another person like her. I think I went a little off the topic but I hope that my answer helped you a bit :)
