Most of you know how close Busta and me are, but I really want to hear about your friendships. Do you have anyone that you're incredibly close to? Anyone that you'd like to show your appreciation to because they're close to you? Is it a childhood friend? Is it a pet? A feline friend perhaps? Probably for me, it's Busta and my dad.

My dad is always there for me. He's very understanding and just overall a cool guy. He is one of those people that you wish you had the class and intelligence to be but know you'll never be able to replicate it. He will go out of his way and do any favor for any person he's ever met. He's a quality guy. His life moto is "Do things because they're the right thing to do."

And we all know Busta. He's definitely a good guy. He can be a bit of a prankster but nobody's perfect. haha I don't know what I'd do without them both.
 
Hmmm, I have a few. My mum, Emiko, Taylor and Lily featuring as the most prominent. There was also Dawn.

My Mum is the most amazing woman I've ever come across. I'm not just saying that because she's my mother. She puts up with so much shit from my two older brothers and rather than let it get her down, she'll hold her head up high and say "There's always tomorrow. Things will be fine." The brother who was the main problem has moved out now, giving her some breathing space.
She got Breast Cancer about 7 years ago. Which is part of the reason I quit school before taking my exams. But never once did she let anyone see how depressed it made her. She simply smiled and struggled on through. I was her soldier during those times she said, because like her, I would never let her see how much it upset me.
She's always there for me whenever I need someone to talk to and vice versa. We're best friends as well as mother and daughter. It's the sort of relationship I wish every daughter had with their mum because it really is something to be cherished.

Dawn (real name was Amethyst) was a girl I'd known for 18 years. We were inseperable. For a time we were girlfriends in every sense of the word. There was nothing we didn't share with each other. Amy was an incredibly vibrant girl who everyone just warmed too. She brought me out of my depression so many times. There's no describing a person like her. Words just don't do her justice.
I lost her 4 years ago when she overdosed. It still hurts, knowing I no longer have my best friend, but I know she wouldn't want me to dwell on it. I've moved on, but Dawn/Amethyst has played an incredibly important part in the me of today. Pity will be shunned. :stare:

Emiko is my Asian best friend. :D She's so awesome. A real bundle of laughter. XD Her kids are great too. Lily is the more reserved of the group. She's the one who keeps to herself but when she makes her presence known, she REALLY makes it known. And Taylor is the one everyone who sees us is scared of. Well... at 5'8'', she does tower over the rest of us and it makes her seem intimidating. She's a sweetheart though.


There are others, such as Mandi and Mark, but I covered those in the Chat buddy thread. ;))
 
The only person that I'm incredibly close to would be my partner Steve, who is also my best friend. I mean I do everything with him and have an awesome time doing so. It really isn't proper for me to give the title of 'best friend' to anyone but him.

I don't have any girlfriends that I'm close too. I have no family that I can tell my secrets too without them freaking out or just not being able to keep it a secret.

I have friends who are there during the times that I need them to go out and have some fun. But when the time comes that I really really need someone, the only one who is there for me in every way is my wonderful man Steve.

Friends are meant to make you feel good about yourself and help you through bad times every step of the way. And Steve is the only one who has done that in a long time (with the exception of my parents a couple of years ago).

My parents are there for me also but they can't be there in the way a friend or boyfriend can. It's too weird. Parents aren't really meant to be your friend in my opinion. I don't think it works. And from my friends families in which the mother and daughter have been like best buddies...well it almost never works properly. They take the friendship so far that there is no real parent in the equation anymore and they're just as bad as each other, fighting etc.

They're meant to be your parent and guide you without getting that close.

I've had a friend for 9 years this year that I used to call my best friend and we'd do everything together but it all went down the toilet. I grew up and she didn't. I wasn't okay with hanging around a kid, when I needed to talk to a grown up about serious things as well as the fun things. We are still friends sort of but not that close anymore and I doubt it will last much longer.

I know some of you may say, 'Well that's what true friends are for. They stick together no matter what.'

In this case there is no hope and to be honest she makes me sick with her mooching bitchy ways. She's the person I never wanted to be and I can't allow myself to be around something like that. Not after how hard I've worked to make my own life a happy and healthy one. I don't need any kinks in the road.

Kinda went off on a tangent there sorry.

So yeah...Steve is my only real close and true friend currently. =)

No, not really.

It's difficult for me to open myself up to other people because I can be a very irritable and hateful person :monster:

I have friends, but I don't think I could call anyone my best friend right now.

offline, anyway. But I'm assuming you're referring to reality since having best friends on the internet is entirely different than knowing them in reality.
 
Hmm, sort of a tough subject for me. I think as people get older, the world gets colder for some, and they tend to change.

So with this I'll spin the revolver here.. Well with me, I'm the type of person who will come up and shake your hand/give you a hug and say howdy and what not. I'll go out to bars with you and I'll play sports if you are a guy, and/or listen to you if you are a girl. I will be your friend and you will be my friend, but friends fade for me.. that's just the way they go.

It's more of a faith and trust factor for me as best friends. I have had really f-ed up fall outs with friends on account of drugs in the past and other things you wouldn't call conventional. I have had friends fade because we just don't keep in touch, and/or not as easy to reach as far as location comes. I've had girls who are friends confess the damndest secrets to me since I am a good listener/rationalist, but end up trying to get married to people for the wrong reasons, which leaves their friends on their back list. I've had a few end their life to a gun or hanging, but no one, thank god has died from accidents. Even my friends that went to serve our country as still making it, so we are blessed in that department.

Though best friends... see this it what it comes down to... is my trust. You screw up once, I'll give you another chance, but twice.. you're gone. I will not talk to you, I will not ever even mention you, I'll just remember you the way you were before it.. but that's about it. I am passive on trivial matters, but then confrontational on something I feel strongly about, but overall I'm the friendliest mofo you will meet. For me I miss ... damn I miss my old friends.. it was like a part of me had died when we fell out with one another, but since around a year ago.. I can not say I have any best friends. My dad is a stand up guy, but our views differ so drastically.. and I never have ever been able to confront him about it.

So my best friend is sadly.. Music! but seriously.. I love people, just don't have as much faith in them as I used to.
 
I don't have on singular best friend, I have several best friends. All of them are people I fully trust and would tell anything too - I know I can always talk to them about anything, and they can always make me smile and laugh, and vice versa too. I couldn't pick a bestest best friend, because I honestly cannot choose, I have about 6/7 best friends, and I'm equally close with all of them ^^ I like being able to say I have many best friends than saying I have one best friend, as I don't think it's fair to choose my favourite out of all my wonderful friends ^^;
 
I have three best friends. Louise I've known since forever. Preschool was when we first met I'm told, but neither of us can remember that far back. We hardly talked between the ages of 11-16, but since then she's been several things to me - best friend, fellow Sonic the Hedgehog addict (or Shadow in her case), drinking partner, and dealer. Her boyfriend hates me though :p


The second is Liam. I first met him when we were 12 and had german class together, but we didn't really talk until we were 15. Since then we've been practically inseperable, or we were until he moved away two and a half years ago. But even so, we still talk every day and I don't know what I'd do without him. Nobody knows me better than he does.

The third is FFF's very Own Mindy/Solstice/whatever she calls herself nowadays. I met her on a now dead forum almost four years ago. Admittedly we don't talk as much as we used to, and sometimes we have little arguments, but nobody else comes anywhere close to the amount of respect I have for her. She's the reason I'm posting on FFF again. Every time she calls me she starts going on about everyone here and it made me want to come back. Direct all blame to her inbox :p
 
This is actually a pretty sore subject for me, ill be totally honest...

Ive had several people in my life I regarded at some point to be my best friend, heres pretty much a list and what happened with each.

Jordan: We were best mates all the way through growing up, we were often everywhere and anywhere together, and we were in the same group of friends as one another, however after his mother died, which came as a horrible shock to us both (I regarded her as a second mother due to the amount of time I spent hanging at his house) He changed for the worse...

He started taking steroids and other illegal drugs and fell in with a group of the wrong type of people, he became extremely abusive to his girlfriend and increasingly violent (an effect of the steroids he was taking) and left her for another woman, leaving her with there child...

I broke all ties with him when after several failed attempts to snap him out of it, hes is now a severe acoholic that is known as a wife-beater, It breaks my heart to see someone I grew up with and was very close to turn into the monster that he is now....

Ryan: One of my best mates in primary school, again like Jordan we hung in the same group of friends...Ryan was the comedian of the group, always laughing and joking, however he moved away to london and soon after we lost contact with each other, he moved back to yorkshire a few years ago, we went out a few times but realised we are two completely different people and broke contact with each other...

David: Another best friend that I grew up with, he was more reserved than Jordan and Ryan, but nevertheless was always a laugh to hang out with, Like Ryan he moved away, to blackpool, he came to visit a few times, but as time went on he started turning to drugs and drink, we broke contact shortly after he started doing ecstacy...

Bubble: My current best friend, a lot like Ryan being a bit of a joker, we always go out drinking together with our group of friends, however bubble can be a bit of a hot-head and over-emotional at times which often lands him in hot-water. After I started my new job we seem to hang-out a lot less than we used to, but nevertheless we always have good fun when we go out.

My Dad: My dad is like a rock, always there for me and always great to talk to and offer advice, Id say me and my dad have always been very close, we even spent a long time playing video games together when I was a bit younger, We get on very well still and its always great to know hes around.

My brother: My brother and I are very much chalk and cheese, hes always been the more outgoing one, I've always been the more reserved one (hard to believe i know lol) we grew up with the same circle of friends and have always hung out together, that is until my brother came back from Uni and moved away to Northamptonshire because of woman troubles. I still see him but not as often as I would like because of work commitments we both have and my brother now being in a long-term relationship, Of all of them, my brother is the one I most miss...

So thats mine in a nutshell, my life basically .

"I only have as many guardians as there are people I can trust" <-- gay little quote there but the same applies to be, for friends.

I'm in quite a large, cohesive group at the moment. I'd estimate that there're 20+ of us who are all really good friends but I think I'd only call three, maybe four, my best friends. These four will hopefully be the ones I'll still look forward to seeing every day for the next Christ-knows how long, while the rest will probably become acquaintances or even long-lost friends. <_<
 
I'm like Dave, I'm in a group of possibly 20+ and I'm really close to most of them but I think it would unfair to single any one person or a few people out even though I'm a lot closer to some than others. But also similar to Dave, it's those people I'm really close to are the ones I'd be able to tell them anything. But I love all my friends, they're pretty much the best friends anyone could wish for. :)
 
Just thought I'd update. =D

In my last post I stated that:

I've had a friend for 9 years this year that I used to call my best friend and we'd do everything together but it all went down the toilet. I grew up and she didn't. I wasn't okay with hanging around a kid, when I needed to talk to a grown up about serious things as well as the fun things. We are still friends sort of but not that close anymore and I doubt it will last much longer.
Click to expand...
I ended the friendship around a week after this post and so I was right about it not lasting much longer. >.<

Anyway, since May of 2009 I have met a truly lovely girl.

We started to hang around each other a lot more often around June and since then we've been hanging out every week!

It is so good to have an awesome friend! She's easy to talk to, she's not a bitch and she's smart. It's good to have an intelligent person to talk to for a change.

We get along brilliantly and always have a good laugh. =)

Congratulations! I'm glad you found the friend you were looking for! I hope this friend lasts! :D!
 
Ive got some very close friends, I could trust them with my life, those ones that are still there several years down the line that ive known for a good while now, the rest just kinda disappear off and you never end up seeing them again xD but my best mate would have to be Clare. We know everything about each other, never fall out and will probably be the embarrassing old women in afew years time stinking oifpiss, wearing inappropriate clothes and thinking we still 'got it'

There's also Mandi. She knows :ryan:
 
I talk to a few number of people but i don't think we're best friends, i mean i haven't know them long at all. Whether we will still talk to each other in the future is always on my mind. To be honest, there were (well still kind of are) times where i feel that i should just stop talking to them all together to spare myself from being hurt.


If nothing happens and we continue to talk i'll update this post then, until that time comes, i don't have any best friends at the moment.
 
My best mate I met online. His name is Jamezy and he is 37. Does age matter..? No as he looks out for me if I feel low and we are very close. He tells me secrets and he even additted to me if I was single he'd get with me but he lives 500 miles away from me :( I would love to meet him !!!
 
I have two best friends ^^

One I met in the first year from High school. I know her for 6 years now. I was so shy and quiet in the beginning and she was too. Because of bad friends I didn't think for myself and kinda ignored her at first but then when I brought her home one time she seemed fine and we became closer. She's really a person where I can be myself and act crazy and she doesn't judge me on anything. You also can get a good laugh with her and she's always the first person to go to when I have problems since I can't really communicate with my mom. Thanks to her I opened up more.

And another best friend I met on the Internet, we had so much in common that I could pretty much call her my twin sister. When I met her the first time it clicked right away and every day is passing by with a laugh. Too bad I don't see her that often as I want to since she lives almost 300 Kilometers away.
 
hmmm
My mom is the closest to me and listens to my rants endlessly and somehow always manages to calm me down. Shes not perfect and she buggs the hell outta me but at the end of the day she always will be there for me.

Danie Hes like my grandad he'd do anything for me and I him, his home and familly are like my own and I owe him alot simply because I can be ...me when im arround them/him. Hes a genuine GOOD person...He truthfully changed my mind thet all people arent bad its an amazing thing to find in the world.
The downside is I cant say no to him no matter what he may ask...Close the Breakers for me? Absolutely...ah the suffering of friendship...

Manny A cool grandad someone whom is exactly like me. I swear im him just younger and with far less kids,well I have none, But he understands me well and can relate alot to me because we are so similar.
Without him id be sad=)
Manny and Danie are also ablidged to bail me outta jail and tell my jobs I cant go in..iin the event I ever get arrested...
 
i have 3 or 4 really close friends, and as of right now im pulling each of the knives they stabbed in my back out and its less painful than i thought it would be. for me friends come and go like the wind, think closest friend i have now is my cousin, hardly see him but its always a laugh when were out :)
 
My closest friend now would have to be my husband. We started out as friends for a short time anyway before we started dating, and he's the only person I've ever met who I feel I can be 100% myself around. He's got the same exact sense of humor I do and many of the same interests; he doesn't mind if I'm a pain in the butt sometimes, or that I like music that everyone except me seems to think is dorky or outdated; or even if I go into crazy hunger-induced trances and start dancing around the room--something that most people would give an 8( to I'm sure. He supports everything I do, and he helps me with projects and with getting through any mental problems I have to go through; like instead of thinking I'm crazy when I'm having OCD episodes, he tries to help me through them, and in turn I help him if he has problems with other things. And I feel like I can trust him with anything and everything, and I think the feeling is mutual. I think support, trust, good communication, caring, similar interests and humor--all these things make for a perfect best friend, so that's why I feel I can call him that. I only had 3 other "best friends" growing up, and 2 of them turned out to be ninnies--they stood me up for hangout dates recurrently and one of them turned into a complete snob, even though we always used to complain to each other about snobs who had been rude to us in school. And then the third friend is still my friend, however she moved out of state a few years ago and has trouble keeping in touch, usually because she loses her phone all the time or gets it shut off :hmmm:
 
i have a few close friends,the others are the friends that i see at school,and the ones i play online with.All these friends that i have are the friends i befriended in school,so the close ones are perhaps the ones i met along time ago while the new ones are the onliners and jokers.We all trust each other and for the close friends we have respect for each other,but they dont know that im in this site!
