Everybody wants a friend they can trust, be able to tell secrets to, and be able to depend on in good and bad times. But, how do you know if your friend is your best friend? Here are 10 signs that they are...
1. They are honest—brutally honest.
You are able to trust and rely on this person to tell you whether you look stupid in that outfit, you have a piece of food stuck between your two front teeth, or that the person you have a crush on likes someone else.
2. They give you confidence.
They remind you that you're awesome, let you know when you're looking fire, and definitely won't let you forget that you're the best.
3. They make you feel special when you walk into a room.
Every time you walk into a room, they smile really big or run up to give you a hug; their favorite person finally arrived!
4. They give good advice.
We all need a friend who knows what they're talking about. They keep us grounded and save us from future failure or embarrassment.
5. They tell you when you’re wrong.
Whether it's because they want to be right and win the argument or are hoping to spare you from future embarrassment, your best friend is not afraid to tell you when you're wrong. They wouldn't be your friend if they lied and let you believe you were right solely to spare your feelings.
6. However, they value your feelings.
They put your feelings before theirs and never want to see you sad or hurt.
7. You guys get into an occasional fight.
Even over the smallest, silliest things. But a little fighting never hurt anyone, it’s a little healthy, right?
8. But you guys make up minutes later and act like nothing ever happened.
You both are such close friends that no arguments, big or small, can permanently come between you. It's not always about being right, sometimes you just have to let go of your pride, ignore your ego, and forgive each other.
9. They join in on your ridiculousness.
They aren't ashamed to take part in your silliness. They're your partner in crime and will be there at your side, whether it's taking part in pranking a friend or just simply enjoying a laugh.
10. And, best of all, are not stingy with their food when it comes to you.
Even if they don't share their food with others, you can count on your best friend to share their food or snack with you anytime... even if they're a food addict like you.
Everyone has a best friend like this and you wouldn't feel complete without them!
