Having a best friend can be best defined as someone who you can be a goof around and they will still accept you. They’re your rock, your go-to when times get tough, they are the people you text in the middle of the night to say the silly little things that pop up in your mind. I feel it is vital to have more than one best friend. Its almost like having a board of trustees with your life, you need more than just the CEO to help make decisions—or in this case go out and have fun with.
More Is Better Than Less
The common saying “less is better than more,” was not created in regards to friendships—maybe pizza—but definitely not best friends. Having a group of individuals you feel you can talk to about anything, guide you and help you binge watch Netflix can help keep your sanity in a world of stress and turmoil.
They're Always There For You
Best friends are always there for you, having more than just one means they're there for you a lot more often. If one friend is busy, you can ask another for assistance or to go out. Plus, everything is always better in a group.
The Decision Making Process
Having more than one bff can also help in decision making, like a panel of judges. You cannot always rely on one person to help make decisions, thus why a group of well-trained friends is key to being successful. A squad if you will. Getting the input of a few people who really care can help with any problem.
Going Out
Another great aspect of having more than just one best friend, is the fact going out with a group of people who you love to hang out with is always more fun than just one person. It’s almost like a little party of people who you can be yourself around with no worries of judgement, plus, if you get a little to crazy you will always have a group of friends who will watch your back and save you from making mistakes.
You Can Be Weird Around Them
Having best friends also means you can be extremely weird around them and they won't judge you. You can say dumb, silly or plain out right odd jokes and be accepted as who you are. The difference with having a group of best friends instead of one however, is that you can be really weird with more than just one single person.
Being There For Them
Being friends with a group of people you really care about means they will not only watch your back, in turn you'll be there for them. Making a difference and knowing that you helped the people closest you can be extremely rewarding.
