In our daily life We make a lot of friend but only a few of them become our best friends, only those friends who become special for us become our best friends. But how do you select your best friend from all your good friends?

I dont make lots of friends daily so I am very choosy in my friends, however, I donot think that every one whom I meet is my friend. One of the response above was very good that you dont select your best friend but they select you. And in my view there is no selection in best friend, it automatically becomes best friend when you have long friendship. So I think the best friend is that who is always there when you need help, a friend in need is a friend indeed, and I always follow this and in this list there are only two friends in my list, who always helped me when I was in need and I always tend to be with them when they need me....:)

Well, by saying selecting friends i meant that what are the qualities that you look into your friends to become a best friends. And yea it is always right that a friend in need is friend indeed. But there are not a lot of fridnds that helps you when you are in need. So there are only few best friends. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

I choose the one whom I'm comfortable to be with and the one whom I can always lean on. I had a best friend when I was in college and I think we became best friend because there are lots of things we have in common meaning we are compatible with each other.

One who helps us and be comfortable with us, he is a good friend. In our group, a true friend care about us, he thinks about us. A friend who help us without thinking of him, he is a close friend.. He will be helping us. "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out"..

Yea very well said. A best friend is that person who walks in when rest of the world walks out. But i don't completely agree with that sentence as there are our family also that come in the world and they are of even more importance than best friends to me. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

True friends are those whom one can trust and expect support whenever one needs. With continuous interaction and sharing of thoughts and feelings with existing friends,it is possible to know the specialty and the quality of friendship.One need not be in a hurry to come to a decisive conclusion. Besides,one should be free and natural in all dealings and interactions with one,s friends,and give them sufficient scope to respond and react in their own ways.I believe,their responses and behavior can give enough input for choosing the right ones. Thanks.

Yea, the behaviour of our friends towards us may help us in choosing best friends. As they said A friend in need is friend indeed. A best friend always help us when we are in need and try everything to help us. In sense he must be honest. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

Your best friend is the friend you need the most in your life. this is the friend you tell of your joys and sorrows. it is the friend you always want with you.

When he/she has touched and has made an impact in your life. When you have shared a lot in the past and are still good friends even when you parted ways and years after crossed paths once again and still feel the same way as you did have for each other in the past. When you remain good friends even you seldom communicate with each other. When he/she doesn't only like listening to all the good things that happen to you but also your sorrows as well. When he/she loves you unconditionally and doesn't expect anything in return. when he/she lends a helping hand and is all at ears when you needed him/her. These are the qualities of my bestfriends. They are always around even we're oceans apart. They never fail to cheer me up even at my lowest point and most of all they are still around after so many years of absence.

If u know that some one has put you out of their best friend list, so what do u think? Best friends will come with best actions. So dont select them. We know who is best in our life by ourselves.

Oh yea, i know that we can not select best friend we just realize when any of our friend deserves to be our best friend or not. It is a difficult kind of job now a days as everyone is so mean and think about only himself/herself and use us. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

A true friend will stay with you during the lowest points of your life...and would never leave you no matter what happens, sticks with you and never betrays you. In short whom you can trust even for years.

First of all I don't really choose my best friends. I don't really hang out with a lot of people, so whenever I do have a friend she is pretty much my best friend. But, I would like to think that my boyfriend is my real best friend. I don't really see how much closer to each-other we could get. But he might find it odd if I were to call him my best friend, so I don't.

Best friends are those who are always there for you ready to help you and lend a hand when you needed them most. Best friends are those who mostly share your interests and is happy when you are happy, lift you up when you are sad and the only person who will understand you for being stupid.

I don't have a technically worded reason for how I ended up with my best friends. I have two best friends one woman and one man. We have been friends since high school and even though we do not see each other everyday, we remain close. We have a shared more than 10 years of laughter and tears. Hell sometimes we laughed to keep from crying, but we have always been there for each other. I think the best aspect is that we do not loan each other money. The woman and I have different taste in men and as far as the man; I don't like women that way. We don't live together and I hope that we never will. I'm not real sure how they became such important people in my life, but I'm glad to have them around. And its kinda nice to have someone to talk to when I need it too.

I agree with you in daily life I meet with lot of a people then make a friendship with some persons out of them we make a good friend. According to my opinion first don't believe on any friend without known him/her because now a days they misuse our friendship. This is a trend of today so I suggest you make a friend but don't close it because when your friend hurt you then you can balance yourself. They use only for some purpose and then left you. So make a friendship with every person but don't make best friend to any person.

I didn't selected them. They selected me. But I have accepted their friendship and it's real. You know it when they don't get you down or use you. You can feel it. When you hang out, all you do is talk about stuffs that doesn't make your day stressful. You laugh all the time with silly jokes and funny games. In times you are problematic, they listen to you and doesn't give out any comments. I like it because all I need is a friend to listen. They make you happy when you are down too. I am so lucky with my 3 friends.

Well, i think then you are lucky that your friend chose you as their best friend. I mean what more can you ask for. Yea the friends who never let you down or use you are true friends and there are not much of those like them. And you are lucky in that case. Happy mylotting. Thanks for your response.

for me, if i see that i can trust the person and his/her personalities are good, then i will consider him/her to be my best friend... but i am a person who do not trust people easily... so to become my best friend, it is not that easy... take care and have a nice day...

I don't. One best friend shows up at my door when I need her the most, just to be with me in times of crisis. I don't call her or tell her anything is wrong - she just seems to know. She lives in Maine and I live in Pennsylvania, so she isn't coming in from next door. She did the same thing when I lived in Florida. Another best friend helped me get guardianship of my husband after he became totally disabled by loaning me the money to pay the attorneys and asking that I not pay it back. (I am paying it back, because I don't treat family and best friends worse than I would a stranger at a loan company.) Three other best friends call to check on me even in the middle of their vacations! If I'm feeling down, they suddenly decide in the middle of their very busy days that it's time for a coffee break at my house. They bring the coffee and usually some yummy treat. Even more, they bring ears to listen and shoulders to lean on for a brief time, thus allowing me to go back into the exhausting life of caregiver with a smile for my husband and daughter. Which of these would you consider THE best friend? They are all incredibly wonderful and I don't think they have a selfish bone in their bodies. To insult them by deciding only one is THE best friend is something I would never do.

I think you don't select a best friend. It just happens. Whenever you guys do the same things, think alike, fancy the same type of songs, have the same ideas, that's when you get close to others.

In my opinion, we don't select our friends or best friend. Friendship is something we build up during the time, sometimes it takes several years to recognize who really can be considered a friend. By the same way, with the time or after a few years, someone special to you who was considered a friend turns into an enemy and sometimes we cannot understand how it was possible that this person was our friend during so many time. To consider someone as a friend, you have to know well this person, it's not only based on a special feeling. Friendship is based on knowledge of the other person similar to a brother/sister. You have to know his/her thoughts, attitudes, behaviours...you have to consider well before considering someone as a friend as you will tell him/her many confidence. A friend should be a person able to help you, to extend you his/her hand when you need without asking anything back for it. Nowadays, a person who has got a good friend is a rich person. Consider it like a treasure! A good friend can be even more important than a partner, husband or wife.
