And, how did you get to know them? And how long did it take for you to think of them as your best friend?
My best friend (we refer to each other as soul friends. It’s like soul mates, but without the romance. Haha) I met while working security. I’ve worked security a long time, mainly solo posts. I hate working posts with another guard. Ended up working 20 hour shifts with him, stuck in an 8x8 shack with a 4 hour turn around. 12 shifts back to back. Never once ran out of conversation. Bestie for life.
Definitely my wife. She likes to remind me though that I shouldn’t just rely on her, and should socialize more. When one’s spouse dies, men tend to die quite quickly after their wife dies, because men aren’t good at making new friends or keeping up with existing ones over time. Women tend to be much better at both of those. Kind of macabre, but she’s not wrong.
My wife is my best friend - we do almost everything together and she knows me better than anyone else.
I feel like they get me and they make me feel like a regular person, they’re cool I’m glad I met them. I wish I could make them feel the same.
I had some friends call me their best friend, but I never really felt the same. I love my friends, but I always felt I couldn’t be 100% me around them. Until I met this guy, and we instantly clicked. Today, I can say that he’s my best friend, because I feel like not only he understands me, but I feel safe and comfortable enough to actually be myself around him.
