Having a best friend means having a therapist, sister, and walking comedian all wrapped up in one person. Here are some things you and your best friend are guilty of!

1. You’re not ashamed of being weird around them.

They’ve smelled your bad morning breath and have seen you pop zits so many times that they’re immune to grossness.

2. You basically speak your own language.

One cut of the eye and smack of the tongue and they already know which person you’re about to start venting about.

3. You can’t get away with hiding your feelings.

You might fool your other friends, but your true best friend knows when something is off no matter how big or how small the issue is.

4. They can spot a bad guy from a mile away.

I don’t know what it is but moms and best friends are always the ones who can detect a heartbreaker way before you can. I’m convinced they have some superhuman power that I just don’t possess.

5. Your fights aren’t really fights.

We can yell until we’re blue in the face but give us thirty minutes and one of us we’ll send the all-forgiving text “Want to grab some food?”

6. You have your own personal bodyguard.

If you mess with one half of this duo then be expecting the other one to come to their defense. We can fight our own battles if we have to but if we can help it we’ll always stick up for each other.

7. They know how to cheer you up.

If I’m feeling down, my bestie knows the perfect goofy thing to say that’ll make me laugh until my stomach hurts. Then we’ll hit up our favorite Mexican restaurant and all will be right with the world once again!

8) Mi Casa Es Su Casa

Knocking? What is that? You and your best friend can freely walk in each other's houses without warning and no one’s parents will bat an eye because everyone is family at this point.

9. They are a human vault.

Your weirdest, deepest, darkest secrets are kept safe by one another, free of judgment. You never have to worry about anything getting leaked, because you two have too much respect for the other person (and dirt on each other) to ever let anything slip.

10. People who hear you guys talking to each other probably think you’re the opposite of friends.

The insults and attitudes are taken to the extreme and neither of you will ever get offended. But you best believe we are the only ones who can speak to each other like that.

11. You have a forever friend.

I’m pretty sure we’ll always be in each others lives. She’ll be my kids “fun aunt”, and no matter how far away from each other we may live, we’ll do our best to keep the friendship alive with weekly phone calls. I can already see us causing ruckus in the nursing home by having wheelchair races.

Here’s to best friends that make your world so much brighter and keep you sane and crazy all at the same time.
