Is having a best friend important to you? Is life better with a best friend?

The thing is, I don't have any best friends at the moment but I do have a lot of regular friends and a couple of acquaintances. I was wondering, for myLot users who have best friends or who have had best friends, if having a close friend is important in your lives? Does it make you a better person, does it make life more exciting, or does it make you happier to know you have a close friend?
I know it's hard to say that a best friend will totally make your life better, but I'm sure having one will provide more benefits than not having one! What do you think?

My life is better for having a real friend. I can't call her as my best friend because we aren't that type honestly. She is one of my friends when I was still in college. Our communication is on and off. Sometimes it would take us months before having to communicate with each other again. But she is one of the real friends I ever had. I am very thankful that I have her in my life. During the very dark times of my life, she would always be there to lend me a hand. And she actually did that just today. I told her my financial problems yesterday and without a word, she sent me money. Funny but I used to hate her at first because for me she is too good to be true. She is kind and innocent and that irritates me at first. But later on I realized that it was her real self. I am so thankful that I have her.

Hi- PD- Yes you are right every one has a best friend I too have one but in my case that is not in that typical boy and girl category but my wife who is my best friend for so long. I can safely say that jealousy does not stand in between we two over any topic. Neither is there any chance some one can take any of us away from each other. cheers.

I have my hubby who I consider my best friend then i have a few friends I consider BEST friends then others who are just friends. It is nice to have someone you can talk to about anything, that is always there for you to cheer you up, help you out with stuff or make you smile. Having friends and being a good friend to my friends is important to me cause I would be lost without them. Many years of great memories I have with them and I hope to have many more!! They always say if you have at least one person that you can say is a good friend to you, you are a lucky person.

For me, it is important to have a true friend. One true friend who understands you, who will always see your good side and tell you to change your bad side.. someone who knows you well but still chooses to be your friend. This is the perfect friend you could ever have. I think having this kind of person with you is important and it makes life better. Yes having family with you is great, but having friends when your family is busy is also good, right?

I have two bestfriend in my hometown we been friends since high school even though we dont see each other more often we made sure to talk via social networking sites. My husband is also my bestfriend because I trust him so much and I know he will never let me down whatever happens. It's so nice to have friends that you can count on in sickness and in health and you can shares everything you want without hesitation.

I am not sure I can brand any one as my best friend because either they are my friends or no friends. I would never be able to say that a particular person is my best friend. Although some of them are better caring and loving but all are my friends that is for sure.
