Best friends are awesome. They make great shopping partners, they're good listeners and they know how to make you laugh. But sometimes your bestie can really rub off on you, so much to the point that other people notice and they even get the two of you confused! Here are 13 signs you and your bestie are actually becoming the same person.
1. Sense of style is becoming the same or is already the same
Not only can you spot an article of clothing at a store that your bestie would wear without her even saying anything, but you're starting to like the same style that she is, and vice versa. Your Pinterest boards for your fashion styles are fairly similar now.
2. People think you are twins (or sisters)
Doesn't matter where you are or how you're dressed, and even though you both think you look nothing alike people always seem to ask if you're twins. And when you yet again explain to them that you are not twins, they look surprised and scan you both up and down, as if they don't believe you. But honestly, if they think you could be related, that's totally a compliment for you both, right?
3. You go for the same type of guys
You're out with your friends, and a tall, dark, and handsome guy happens to walk by. Right away you turn to your bestie to point him out, but sadly for you she's already spotted him and is thinking exactly what you're thinking!
4. You know what the other is thinking before they even say anything
You're with a group of people and someone can't stop talking about their new cell phone contract, and when you and your bestie make eye contact you know she's telling you, "This is so boring, get me out of this." And you're like, "No worries, I got you," and are able to find any excuse to get her away from the situation.
5. They remember things that you don't even remember
Me: "I can't find my black flip flops, I have no clue where they went."
Bestie: "You left them in your trunk after you and your family went to the beach, remember?"
Me: "Um no, I don't even remember doing that. How do you remember that? You weren't even there!"
What can I say, a bestie helps you remember things even if they weren't there. Thanks for having my back, bud!
6. Your impersonations of each other are on point
When you're around someone long enough, you can bet your bottom dollar you both can do hilariously accurate impressions of each other, noticing any random quirky thing that they do that they probably don't even notice. And when you act like the other they get slightly offended and say something like: "Hey, I don't look like that when I sneeze!"
7. You both have to be at the same parties
Sometimes you need your other half with you when you go out, and besides, you have the most fun when you two are together!
8. You feel their pain when they're upset
When she's not happy, you can tell even when she doesn't say anything, and it hurts you like heck to see her that way. Nothing is better than having a friend who will listen, console you, and has one heck of a good shoulder to lean on.
9. You know exactly what they like and exactly what they don't like
"Will she like this shirt for her birthday?" "No, she can't stand neon orange. It gives her migraines."
I mean, after thousands of shopping trips together and all of the other things you have experienced together, you know her likes and dislikes pretty well by now.
10. When your jam turns on, stuff gets real
Hands down any T. Swift song gets you both jammin' during car rides, and who cares what the cars next to you even think if they look over!
11. You both know each other's relationship history frontwards and backwards
"Hey, remember that Bryan guy from high school? He just randomly texted me today and asked if I wanted to hang out later."
"Oh no he's so 2010, way back when you had side bangs. The boy's gotta move on!"
Needless to say, you know a heck of a lot about each other and you sure as heck know she deserves so much better than the way she used to be treated by other guys.
12. You hate with a passion the guys who have broken your best friend's heart
Let's just say, you have a few not-so-nice things to say if you ever see any of those jerks ever again. Hurting your best friend is a real gutsy thing to do when it gets you involved.
13. You know life wouldn't be the same without each other
Seriously, how awesome is it to know you have a best friend to rely on, someone who makes you happy, and comforts you when you're down? Best friends are such a gift, and I'm thankful every day for mine!
