Is it normal that you dont have a bestfriend?

I think it is normal if one has no best friend. I have a friend liket that. She has a lot of friends but she doesn't have a best friend. Meaning, she doesn't share her personal and intimate thoughts or experiences with anyone but she can hang out with fairly just anyone. There are people like that. They are more comfortable being with friends and treat them equally. I don't have a best friend, either because the one I consider as my bestfriend left for abroad and due to busy schedules and life, we hardly communicate but form time to time we keep in touch. I am ok with it.My other friends are good and they can be trusted. They also care for me just like a real friend does even if none of them is my bestfriend. :) So, cheer up. Friends are still friends even if they are not the best.:)

I think it's normal and many people are like that. Finding a real best friend which will be there with you until you grow old is hard. Yes, you can have friends from elementary or high school which you can be friends until you grow old but they won't be there with you all the time. I guess someday you will find that friend who will ne with you through thick and thin. Friendship is not about how long you have been together, its about how you understand each other. I understand when you said you go out with your friends even if you don't like what they do. It's because sometimes we really want to feel we belong. Do not worry, you are not alone in this situation. Just wait and pray for the right person to become your best friend.

in reality i have many friends but i don't know which one to call the real best friend..may eb i haven't too!!As regards wht you mentioned in your post may eb simply when you grew up things are different and changes are deep in relation to your high school lif eor university one..so may be for that in those periods was really normal ahving the so called best friend and know there are many peopl you knwo..may be good friends but not only the real best one!!

Some people don't like to have just one best friend in their lives. this can be a very normal situation. Some people are more comfortable to have a group of several friends in their lives. Friendship should be valued. it isn't about quantity but quality.

i know some people prefer not to have bestfriends and i think it is okay but literally not having friends, i think that is something unhealthy for an individual.

I think it is perfectly normal, and I think it is honorable that you are waiting until you find a good person to become your best friend, rather than jumping at the first friend that comes your way. Kudos to you for that. My best friend recently got engaged to a man who secludes her from all of her friends (including myself), so we sort of lost touch. I do not have a best friend at this point, but I have many good friends who I hold close to my heart. Rather than stressing over having a best friend, just be thankful you have friends to talk to in general, for some people do not even have that. There is nothing abnormal about it.

Hi princess8881 How are you doing today. I had a bestfriend, but I dont know about it now. We had good relationship from kindergarten. And we were really good. I think he is my bestfriend, and he thinks I am his bestfriend, too. We go to play together everyweek. That was good time. But when we get in middle school, we almost stop to get together from that time. Because me, I dont wanna talk about it right here, but I wanna apologize to him. I did something wrong..........

Well it is your choice, but we need a special or a best friend in our lives, to care about us, and to listen to us when we have problems, and to confort us. But i know a few people that say they have God as a good friend, or they say they don`t need a good friend, because they have themselves as a best friend, either way, the thing is it doesn`t matter who is your best friend, as long as you receive confort from him or her.

Yes it is ok if you don't consider one as your best friend among all of the friends you got. You may not want to share your secrets with that person coz nobody is considered as a best friend of yours. Having one means you really have to trust that person with the things you don't want others to know. Share problems as well and share some things that you have also. I do have lots and lots of friends, but I just only have 3 closest to me so I can consider them as the best among all of the friends that I got. Not having a bestfriend doesn't make you different from all people.

we all do go our seperate ways and change when we get older, i feel it is best to always keep in touch though, thats what friendship is all about, i have a best friend that i don't see that much as we have drifted apart which is a shame.

I am in the same position as you are. I had a close bestfriend throughout elementary to highschool once we went to College and I had a boyfriend in highschool til now things just changed. We didn't have anything in common. She never had a boyfriend so we couldn't double date or have anything in common so we hardly talked and stuff. ): I have friends here are there but I don't want to tell them my personal business because I have trust issues with just friends.

"Everyone hears what you say,Friends listens what you say, Best friends listens to what you dont say".So having a best friend is necessary.but most of us are not lucky enough to have a best friend.so that we can share our feelings.

that's perfectly normal..i think we don't need bestfriends as long as we some friends to talk to and do somethings with..

you don't need to look for a bestfriend... it will come.. if you don't have one right now, try to indulge yourself in some other activities, meet other people.. just do your thing, and you won't notice, you will find someone whom you're comfortable with, whom you can be yourself, whom you can cry and laugh with, and whom you can share your secrets with..

I think this phenomenon is normal.There are many kinds of people in the society.Some people like to make friends with others.Some people don't like to make friends with others.So it is normal that you have some friends,but you don't have the best friends.

I guess in a way its normal. I have many friends but I don't have a best friend. Most of my friends are back in high school and i don't see much of them now.

I think it';s normal,and nothings wrong if you don't have a bestfriend. It's not a requirement to have a bestfriend just to be normal. I mean,it's better that you don't trust anyone easily. And considering someone as your bestfriend is not easy. I have a lots of friends,but I only consider my one and only bestfriend who've been me since our highschool days and has had never left me even if she had her own family.

It is very normal, but I'm sure you will find a person that will be a true friend to you. For a long time I thought I had true friends. But slowly we drifted apart and still occasionally say "hi" or "whats up?" but we don't have what we used to. And you never know who you will end up meeting in life.
