Five Ways you know you found your ‘Sister Friend’
Sure, we all have friends and even best friends but only the truly most luckiest girls in life get to have, ‘Sister Friends’. A sister-friend is much more than a best friend but unfortunately is not actually legitimately a sister. According to Urban Dictionary which has the most accurate definition of a sister-friend in my opinion, “Your bestesting friend. Better than any friend. Who's been your friend for so long you might as well be sisters. You hate her you love her. She's your sister.” When you have these special people in your life you can tell the different between them, you can just sense it.
1. Sister-friends know what you’re thinking.
Of coarse these types of friends know what you’re thinking because you usually don’t even have to say a word your facial expressions give it all away. Before you can even open your mouth to say your important thought they have an answer for you. Yes, we know that’s girls outfit is atrocious but please tell me how you would fix it. Usually you and your sister-friends have a lot in common and are extremely similar, so what you’re thinking they’re probably thinking as well. They know raising your eye brow means someone, or something has just entered the room and has caught your immediate interest. Sometimes, even when specific topics arise they even know what you’re opinion will be. They don’t ask you who you’re voting for because they already know, and most likely are sharing the same vote. That’s what they’re here for to answer and elaborate on the questions and statements you haven’t even said aloud yet.
2. Don’t have the same type of guy that you have, (although they know when one is walking your way that you’re going to think is good looking.)
How on earth do you expect to have a life long sister-friend if she thinks your husband is hot? That just isn’t going to happen. Although your thoughts and opinions on many subjects may be similar this is one area that will 95% of the time remain different. Now, I’m not saying there is absolutely no way, because we all know there may be that one guy who is the absolute needle in the hay stack that you both think is gorgeous but he would never come between the two of you. This isn’t just a great friend who wouldn’t do that to you, this is a sister-friend who knows this isn’t even a topic of discussion its so ridiculous. However the second a outrageously good looking guy walks in the room and they know he’s your type they immediately freak out in the least casual way possible. They quickly go digging through your purse for your favorite MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick to fix your lips (because they are looking rough right now) to get you ready for that ideal moment when he walks by.
3. Can be brutally honest with you, even if it may hurt.
Sister-friends are the only ones to give it to you straight. They’re not doing it to hurt your feelings, they’re doing it because they’re truly the only ones who know you and know what is best for you (as cliche as it sounds). They know that sometimes you can be quickly influenced or jump into situations that probably aren’t best for you and they just don’t want to see you hurt. Most times, the soul purpose for anyone to be completely honest is to give you the best opinion they think is fit for you, and thats exactly what their doing. There is no sense in getting mad or upset at their honesty, it should be appreciated rather than someone lying straight to your face.
4. Don’t ever, ever, ever ditch you (in general) but especially for the guy their seeing.
How’s that saying go, ‘Bros before..?’ yeah it’s exactly the same for girls as well. Maybe friends might do this to you but never your honest and truest sister-friends. Guys will come and go but they will remain forever. Girls like these know right from wrong and would never ever jeopardize what they have with you for their latest fling. In the very rare cases your sister-friend starts to slip up, always do your part and refer to number three. Knowing you found your sister-friend is simple because the both of you would rather hangout with each other than anyone else anyway. Of coarse only the luckiest of girls have multiple sister-friends so when all of you get together it’s almost like there is no need for anyone else to be around.
5. Don’t ever judge you no matter how ugly a situation can get.
We all have been in situations that we aren’t particularly proud of but thats life. Reasons like these are why we have such special friends like so. No matter how rough the situation may be they’re here to sit listen and and possibly give you the very best advice possible. They aren’t here to tell you right from wrong but simply give you and ear when you can’t bare to tell anyone else or don’t want a response from anyone, but you just need to get this specific thing off your chest. This is most likely the most important factor of knowing you have found your sister-friend because without them and their lending ear you wouldn’t be able to feel relaxed and a little more at ease with yourself and your situation. Even making you laugh, smile or the most loving hug from them can mean everything and change everything (and most likely is exactly what you needed). They’re here to stay by your side through it all and go through whatever you are going through by reassuring you, you won’t have to do it alone.
"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood." - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
