Who is your best friend?

Published on April 22, 2006 By Sally jacobs In Personal Relationships

We are all very different people. We like different things. Different things upset us. Different things make us cry. That's just the way life goes. We will all have many different people in our lives. Friends, relatives, people we work with, go to school with. So we will know many different kinds of people and be able to get along with them. However, there will be one person that you get on with better than anyone else. That one person who is your best friend. Who you click with better than anyone else. Who understands you. Who you understand. They are the people I want to hear about. The question is.......who is your best friend? I'll start this one off.....

My best friend is probably also the person that irritates me the most. Who knows which buttons to press and how to get a reaction out of me. He knows all my weak spots. He knows how I think. He only needs to hear a few words from me and he knows what kind of mood I'm in and what I'm thinking. He knows what will make me smile. What will make me upset. He cares when I'm upset. He tells me when I am annoying. He doesn't put up with any of my crap.

This wasn't something that happened over night, many hours were put in to build a friendship like this. It wasn't easy. Sometimes I can be really difficult and I don't know why he puts up with me. Though he can actually be a stroppy little madam himself, so I guess it pans out. We didn't click straight away. I am not really sure when it happened. Just one day we was here, at this point. He actually annoyed me at first. I didn't like him much at all. He talked alot, about nothing at all, hehe. I kind of find that sweet now, haha! I think the most important part of our friendship is that we share a similar sense of humour. Generally the same things make us laugh, and we know what to say to make the other laugh. I think that's important.

I also trust him. I don't trust many people, but I know that he wouldn't let me down. If I needed him, he would do what he could to help me. If I had a problem, he would listen to me, and offer advice. If I was really upset, he would try and make it better. I know that he's a good person. He has his faults, but then who doesn't? I can be a horror at times, but he is still here. I can talk to him about anything, just waffle away, and time flies. That truely is a best friend, and I love him for it

.

So JU, who is your best friend?

My husband is my friend, and I'd rather spend time with him than with anyone else (including my best gal pal). But when I want to chat about my period, or how the kids are driving me nuts, or makeup, or that new lady on the street who lets her kids ride their dirt bikes on the pavement, whatever...I go to my best gal pal.

I do understand where you are coming from. My best friend is male. I do have a female best friend to though. It is different though. I don't really know how to explain it. He just understands me that bit better, and I can talk to him in a different way. Though there are times when I want a good gossip, and there are things he just wouldn't understand. I guess I have the best of both worlds!

My wife is more than my bestfriend so I don't put her in that category

Awww that's lovely!

My best friend looks back at me out of the mirror when I comb my hair.

Haha....that person is also my worse enemy at times

Aww thanks! I'm sure we can all relate to that one!

I'd have to go with the flow and say my wife is also my best friend. We've been married for four years but knew each other for about 20 prior to that, so I guess you could say there is not too much we don't know about each other. We do know how to push each other's buttons but generally don't because I think we both really respect our relationship and rather than spend the time we have together antagonising each other, we laugh and talk and have fun.

Wow that's a long time, so it's something that just blossomed, or did it just hit you one day?

I think I'm strange, in some way I kind of enjoyed being antagonised, haha! There's a strange little insight into my world! Talking and laughing is also good fun though, hehe!

Truthfully, I married my best friend. I know that not only am I not an easy person to get along with, but in fact, an incredibly DIFFICULT one! (Take my opinions on JU, stretch them out 24/7 and, well, you get the picture). I admire the hell out of anyone who can put up with me "live and uncensored" for a considerable length of time, let alone 13 years!

Hehe, that's because you're such a nice guy gid

. Where would the fun be if you was easy all the time?

shotgun wedding?

Ha...someone had to say it!

It was a long, drawn out story of two shy people who 'liked' each other but didn't do anything about it, mainly because we were usually with other people. Eventually, when we finally had our first date, we got our stuff sorted. We got married 10 months later.

I kind of enjoyed being antagonised, haha! There's a strange little insight into my world

Well, I can't say I like it, although it can lead to insights in how I think and react. I would far rather a peaceful, adult discussion or even a controlled argument than pure antagonism. But that is just me.

Awww that's so nice! Haha...I'm such a girly. I love things like that though, where something is right in front of you, just it takes time to realise it. The best things are worth the wait

I would far rather a peaceful, adult discussion or even a controlled argument than pure antagonism.

Hopefully that will come to me in time. Though don't get me wrong I am capable of such discussions, and I do enjoy them. I'm kind of fiesty though, and I do have to admit, I enjoy a good debate at times.
