Best Friends

[GirlWithSpunk]

Lately I've been thinking about this.

Who do you consider him/her your best friend? or best friends?
Why?
--------------------------------------------------------------

My best friend is Paula.
She moved to London, Canada.
I miss her alot and wish she could move back down.

My sort of second best friend is my friend Danielle.
Her and I were sooo close and used to do things together every weekend.

But this is where I need help.
She met this girl Ashley, and now their hanging out like her and I used to.
She doesnt call me (hardly), never wants to sleepover, ditched me twice for her...it sucks big time because I cherish her soo much as my best friend and I feel like its all falling apart. And when I tried to explain this to her, I have already twice, she just shrugs and denies everything. What should I do?

Does anyone have problems like this?

 

[GirlWithSpunk]

bump =(

 

[PurpleDucky]

Maybe she was really never your friend?

Who do you consider him/her your best friend? or best friends? Chelsea and Sierra, maybe John..
Why? Because I can talk to them about anything and everything. They're there to listen. As am I with them. I've known them all since 7th grade, but Chelsea goes to a boarding school. I can be myself around them, and most people don't like my obnoxiousness and loudness XD

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

Yeah, I've been there before.
Seriosuly, if she keeps on doing it, and I know this is hard, but you have to stop hanging out with her.

You can't stay best friends with someone who treats you like that.
Best of luck!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Never been in that situation sorry.

Who do you consider him/her your best friend? or best friends? In all honesty, probably just Jessica and Olivia.
Why? Ones completely opposite of me. Ones exactly the same as me. We get along very well.

My best friend? Hmm...that's pretty hard. Jaimie (not HSMndLKfan92, a different Jaimie ) I suppose. I've known her since 1st grade but lately we've been slipping. Losing touch. I have a lot of other good friends both on the DIS and in real life.

DIS: Uhm...Katie, Allie, Alison (Jasmine45), Shelby, Brit, Devan. Jess but she doesnt' DIS anymore (best long-distance friend).

RL: Caty, Madison, Peruzie (that's not her real name, but that's what I call her) Sydney, Kendra, Nathan, Jake. I guess those are the ones I talk to the most...but I have a ton I still talk to on facebook and stuff...

For you, Alex.

Lacy:
Been tight since day one. We fight and we annoy the hell out of each other, but shes always there for me, and i'm always here for her. I love her so much. I wouldn't be who I am without her.

Cody:
Another constant in my life. He means more to me than most people do. I love him so much. He's had a very hard life, and he has a lot of mental issues because of it (he's bipolar) but he's always been there for me, adn I'm always there for him. I love him to death.

Jessica:
Shes that girl that I can call crying in the middle of the night and she'll say just the right thing to make it all better. Shes so great. We have so many inside jokes. I basically live at her house. I love her.

Brent:
This guy has had such a hard life, and he is the strongest person I know. He makes me laugh all the time, and he's always a shoulder to cry on. he just joined the national guard. I'm so happy for him. He's doing what he loves. He is such a strong person and I am so proud of him.

Bethany:
I love her so much. We have so much in common, and she makes me happy. I've not known her for a long time, but shes still one of my best friends and she means more to me than a lot of people do.

Mike:
We dated for more than a year. We broke up. But he's still one of the most important people in my life. I love him so much. He's been here for me when no one else was, and he knows me better than anyone does. I love him more each day.

Mariah:
I love her so bad. Shes so cool. She always jumps at the chance to help anyone, and shes so genuinely nice. She brightens my day. I've known her since sixth grade.

Tyler:
we dated too. We broke up, but he's still a big part of my life. I love him to pieces, and we're good friends. He's one of the strongest people I know and I respect him so much.


to the op.

 

[GirlWithSpunk]

Thanks guys.
But its hard to let such a good friend go.
It hurts alot.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Thanks guys.
But its hard to let such a good friend go.
It hurts alot.

I know what its like, I'm sorry.

Living in a particularly popular/crowded area, or my friends parents who had to move here for a short wile for their job I know what its like to lose a friend. All types of losses

Every year in my entire life at least 2 of my best friends move away (even if i just met them) In fact I know 2 of my best friends right now who are moving at the end of the year (gosh I'm gonna miss them I don't know what i would do without them)

I have also lost friends because of lack of interest
Fights
Separate schools
Them finding other friends who dislike me
etc.

What I learned is... Its hard. But...eventually you meet new people and you find out that maybe their personality suites you better. Or maybe its your friends seperation that CAUSED you to meet someone you have never met before and just click like pb+j.


Dont stress over it too much.
Life will work a way out, It always does.

 

[DramaQueen]

to OP. It's really hard when friends move. And it's extra hard to be the one that's moving and you have to make all new friends (trust me, i know, i moved from Quebec to Ontario 8 years ago) and I know it sucks, but honestly-- over time I lost touch with all my old friends. (but i still talk to them now on facebook, sorta)






My best friend is named Mark. He has been my best friend for about 5 years. He is the most hilarious, opinionated, entertaining person I know. I don't even remember how we became best friends, I know we were in the same drama class in grade 1, and I invited him over one day when we were both bored, and we clicked 100% and we've been literally BEST friends ever since.
I have alot of close girlfriends, but when it comes down to it, Mark truly is my best friend. I know he'd do anything for me and I'd do the same for him. He's pretty much part of my family (my grandparents call him "their adopted grandson" lol)
He's blunt, he's kinda rude, he's vulgar and really opinionated, and he & I go together like PB & J!
On TV & in movies, there are never girl & guy best friends that don't wind up falling in love with each other, so people always ask me if it's like that, but honestly, there is NO romantic attraction at all, when we're together we're just best friends, maybe like brother & sister (except I actually like him, and I don't think I'd like a brother if I had one lol)



My other best friend is my boyfriend, Derek.
He & I share EVERYTHING. all our secrets, stories, everything.
As cheesey as it sounds, he really is my best friend.We weren't friends before we started dating really, but over time I have come to trust him like I would a best friend. He can help me with any problems I'm having, he's my shoulder to cry on, we never really fight or argue. He's like a perfect best friend and boyfriend.

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I had a situation like that. Only it was that she would act different around me and around other people. When I explained it to her she would deny it and it would turn into this big fight.

My best advice is to try one more time,if she doesn't listen and just ignore's you, then stop being her friend. Or just ignore her like she has to you. It's not fair to you.

I've been thinking about who my best friends were. I thought they were D & M but I was wrong. I don't know if I consider D a best friend. We're more of just really close friends,I think.
I want a best friend,like one that won't ditch me,make fun of me, or get into fights every so often. :/

 

[unknownname]

I use to have a very good bestfriend for 8yrs. She found new "cool friends" and we stopped talking.

Now I don't have any friends. Rock on.

 

[CrazyChik]

Lauren.
She's almost the polar opposite of me. She always notices when i'm sad and she's pretty good at stopping me from doing things i would regret in the long term. She's a great laugh and i think we've had one major argument that got a bit physical but other than that we very rarely argue.

Dan.
I don't know. It's complicated. He's like a drug i suppose. He makes me go all fuzzy, warm and happy but then he brings you down, hurts you and leaves marks.

I used to have a best friend called Emily. She was the bestest. I met her in recpetion but half way through 7th grade she ditched me for the 'cool hard' gang. We never once argued and i never got the urge to back stab her(that is an achievement for me) She was always so easy to talk to and have a laugh with. Most of my ah good times memories are with her. I know Lauren and other Emily used to be jealous because they didn't get along with her as easily and they didn't get along with me as easily as she did(but then again not many people do.) Sometimes she'll wait for me so she can walk to class with me, she sits by me in geography and we have great fun doing the work on crime together and it's still easy and fun but ye i'd love to have her back but things are fine like this.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm not sharing the name of my best friend, but she's amazing. She's as crazy as I am, and somewhat understands my stories about nothing. She's loyal and defends me, even if I'm pretty much a crap friend to her (I'm not a bad friend, I just don't do as many nice things as she does).
I'm lucky she's my friend.

 

[tinkerbellblondie19]

I don't have one really good friend anymore. I've got several friends that make up the different parts of that.

Helen is the one I have a blast hanging out with. We live near each other and go together to a ton of stuff, and have the craziest sleepovers. The problem is that she can be a little, um, showy, and a little spoiled.

Paige is the one that's always there. It's stable, and we always have fun, but as much as I trust her it's hard to just tell her anything because her "personality type" is not very compatible with mine and she doesn't quite get me.

Nick knows pretty much everything about me at this point, and I mean everything. It's easy to tell him anything, but he can be a major jerk sometimes.

But none of them are my "number 1" best friend. I'm between those right now. But combined they're enough to get me through.

 

[acesupercoolme.]

My best friend is awesome. We share alot and annoy each other a lot. We tend to get in many fist fights though but it's better then holding grudges.

My other best friend is Chris. He is my movie and t.v. buddy. Chris is amazing and random and always makes me smile. He also introduces me to many cool bands.

 

[Pearls]

My best friend is without a doubt the most amazing person ever.
We get each other soso well. She only lived near me for three years, 6th, 7th and 8th grade, then she moved across the country. We're still really tight tho, summer 06 she came to my house for a week, and last summer I went there.
She's like a sister to me. I tell her everything. And I mean everything. Don't tell me something if you don't want my bestie to know it too, ahaha.
She's kind of a dork and has a huge crush on Alan Rickman, but I absolutely love her to death.
I can honestly say she'll be my best friend forever. I can't imagine ever being closer to a friend.
ily Athena, you rock!


& to OP:

 

[Master Gracy]

LOL all mine are girls

Bronagh- my best friend:
known her since the first year of school, and seemingly we clicked when I couldn't go to her party because I was sick, so I got to go on a playdate. XD
We just seem to have pretty similer interests, we're both artsy (but she is superior XD), she makes me laugh (but I make her laugh more). Her house was beside the school, so I used to go there most days, and her family have basically welcomed me in at this stage, she has really funny little siblings.
Now here comes the sad part,
we had to seperate schools (I couldn't go to her all-girls school ) and from there we've kind of...drifted a little I suppose.
I mean we're still friends- and she's still my best friend, but I don't know if I'm her best friend any more. I think she makes friends easier than me (or that I find it harder to make friends with boys, and Im in an all-boy school) but she seems to be busy most of the time. It makes me a little sad sometimes, but then all good things must end.

Martha- second highest in meh list:
She has fallen out with bronagh (and lied about being sick so she could get out of going to her birthday headache: ) but Im keeping the peace at the moment.
Martha can be very immature sometimes, and she always seems to have a boyfriend from some other part of ireland (where she picks them up I dont know), she is fun, but she isnt half as fun as bronagh.

Shannon, Roisin, Louise, Johanna (who is moving to holland ) and theres a whole list of people I could call best friends, but I don't really see them too much at the moment.
Ive become much quieter recently, since secondary school- and I think thats a reason Ive been losing some of my friends.

 

[tinkerbelle22]

Probably my best, best friend at the moment is Emily. We met at our old theater company in a production of Honk the musical when we were both about 8 years old. She's honestly the only person out there who can read my mind, and I can read hers. We both can scan each other up and down and be like, "You had a crappy day today, huh?" She also makes me laugh hysterically, and can be a great shoulder to cry on. There was this guy, Nick, at our old theater place who was going to college that I liked, and we were leaving for a new company, so I thought it was the perfect time to tell her I liked him. No one else knew. I was freaked to tell her, because I didn't know how she would react, but sure enough sure totally supported me, and understood amazingly that I was bummed he was going to college. And obviously, us both loving theater and Broadway to death is a biggie for us being so close. She lives in CT, and I live in New York, but we see each other during rehearsal on Thursday and Saturday, and any other time we can. Time now is crucial, because I'm not going to see her again regularly till September. Our show is done now, and I'm not doing anymore until the one in September. But I'm getting Facebook soon, which she freaks out at me for not having, so that should be an easier way of talking

My other extremely close friends right now are Alana, Marissa (my other theater buddy, she's with the same company that Emily and I are with), Brittany, Noelle, Jaime, Becca, Mary (coolest person ever! that's just what we all call her) Marlayna, Emily (different one), and our only guy in the group, William. They're absolutely am-ah-zing!

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I have two best friends, Jessie and Jackie.

I've known Jessie since 2nd grade and I know almost everything about her, and vice versa. She's the one that I can go to when I need help or advice and she'll sit there and listen and help me out in anyway she can. Lately we've been drifting apart because of her butthole boyfriend.

Jackie moved to my school in 7th grade and we've been best friends since 9th. She's the kind of friend who always can make you laugh even when you are at your lowest.

Then my other really super close friend is Sarah. She's a lot like Jessie because she will listen to you and help you out. But Sarah speaks her mind and doesn't care who she offends. If she doesn't agree with something, you'll know it. And if someone says something bad about one of her friends, watch out. She'll make your life hell.
