No matter how old you are, everyone has at least one person that is like a sister to them, whether they are currently in a relationship or not. However, there is one person who is always there for you, akin to a steadfast companion who never abandons you or judges you.
Listed below are just a handful of how you’ll recognise it as a genuine best buddy.
- They HAVE to share their day with you! No matter what, you still listen and draw inspiration for a new, entertaining discourse from it, whether you spend the day lounging on the couch or making a mansion out of cheese.
- When you’re being honest… If anyone can be straight up with them, it’s you.
- You have conversations that are impossible for other people to understand… too many stories and too many inside jokes.
- It’s normal to look at each other and know what the other is thinking. (DING!)
- You totally get jealous of each other’s circle of friends but know you guys secretly want to go anywhere! (Hello, this is ma b****.)
- The number of times in a month you’re broke and how frustratingly bad you are at budgeting. You have each other’s back; there is no penny tracking.
- You two have your own theme song. As soon as the song begins, you are familiar with the routine.
- You borrow each other’s things without even asking.
- Your parents are used to you being part of the family. (Table set and beds ready) Sleepover!
- You’re her biggest fan and will cheer her on louder than anyone else in the room. (even if you have your not-so-best moments.) Whoooooooop!
- You insult each other, which really means you love each other. “You stupid ass!” i.e., “I love you really.”.
- You both seem to dislike the same people. (Even if one of you doesn’t actually have an issue, you just stand strong, supporting.)
- That your past mistakes and dark secrets are no one else’s business.
- When you don’t feel like doing anything and just want to chill. No awkward silences.
- When you are upset and need to cry without an explanation of what’s going on.
- When you do bizarre things. She embraces your weirdness! It just makes sense.
- When you’re totally over guys at the moment. Girl Power!
- They can name that certain song that always makes you cry, laugh, or cringe.
- That when you’re fighting with each other, you’re still best friends. You can say you hate her or say you’re not friends anymore, but she knows that’s not true.
- They get that you’re not a morning person…
- You know their downfalls, but you support them, understand their routines and swings and just go with it.
- After all, you have been through a lot together and things never change.
- You can be apart for months and make loads of friends but know that nothing is going to take this one away!
But most importantly, best friends know when all you need is a hug, chat, and comfort to lean on. Who is your bestie? Tag and share!
