If you’re on the struggle bus and you’re trying to figure out who in your friend group is your closest, most true best friend, let me help you. I’ve made a list of what I believe (from personal experience) makes someone your BEST FRIEND.
1. You text dirty to each other (and I mean EXTREMELY dirty).
Not just anyone can text back and forth about their bathroom struggles, but you and your best friend can. You text each other every time your pooping or better said, unable to poop but trying to get it out of your system. You text each other each time you’re pooping in a location other than home and you’re sharing how you feel bad for the next person that comes in after you, or how you ate something for dinner last night and it was a bad idea because you’re paying for it today at work.
See my example below of my conversation with my best friend.
2. You encourage each other to break the law
If you're with some people you do not know that well or people that you're kind of friends with but not people your parents know, you're probably not going to do any law-breaking. It's just not acceptable and odds are it's just plainly unlikely. Example: if you're true bffs, you'll break into log cabins together and accept the risk that a) the cleaning people might show up any minute and catch you b) there might be a silent alarm or c) hidden cameras. But you'd do it anyways knowing the risk, because quite frankly it's fun and would be a great story. The two of you will talk through all of the “What if” scenarios and come up with an escape plan (and pray you don't have to actually put it into play).
3. You transform into aliens for a period of time
Have you ever just hung out repeating noises back and forth with someone? This type of interaction can only take place with a true bff. You’ll both be just hanging out like normal and one person makes an odd noise and then the other just copies that noise. This happens for a solid minute or two before either people just completely stop and start laughing, because they are both like WTF did we just do? Perfect example of transforming into aliens, because aliens just hang out making weird sounds.
4. You communicate telepathically
Of course there are those in the world who do not believe in
telepathic communication. BUT I’m here to tell you that it exists in true best
friend friendships. If you are able to stand in a room and without using words
tell your friend what you want, and them do it and respond to you, then you
will never find a truer friend. This person can basically read your mind. Isn’t
that scary and cool at the same time?
(Please tell me I’m not the only person [aside from my bff] who has experienced
this)
5. You sing each other to sleep
Does the title sound a little odd? Come on now, after 1-4 you can’t really think being sung to sleep as an adult by someone is really THAT strange, clearly stranger things have happened. HOWEVER, your true BFF will stay up through all hours of the night to sing to you via phone or in person whatever songs you ask, to help you fall asleep. (the only other person in this world you might be able to talk into doing that would be your mom, but she probably wouldn’t be willing to do that for her adult child).
6. You show your love for each other through insults
How could we ever forget this term? What is a good, solid,
reliable friendship without insults? I can always count on my bff to insult my
birthmark by telling me it looks like shit, I can always count on her to tell
me that I’m a heartless bitch (and semi-mean it—no denial here) and I can
always count on her to insult me to brighten my spirits and make me laugh. It
wouldn’t be a fantastic bff friendship without those insults.
And there you have it fellow readers. If you're question if someone is your TRUE BFF, just compare them to my list here. Hopefully this will help you come to a conclusion.
