Alright. So for about three years i had the same best friend. We were really close and nothing ever got in between us. After three years though, i met another girl who kinda took her place. We were best friends for about a year and a half, but then i met ANOTHER girl who also took the place of my other best friend. After a very short time, me and that girl got too much of each other. I really dont know what to do. It's like i can't have a best friend but i always have at least 5 really great ones. Can anyone relate or give advice on how to get used to my best friend's flaws?
As we get older, we make and lose a LOT of friends. It's unfortunate but it's just a fact of life. Rather than struggling to see things differently to how you do now, accept that you just haven't yet found a friend you can really stick with. It may be as you get older, you will be more accepting of other people's flaws but until then, you should carry on being friends with as many different people as you can and if they leave your life, try to just accept it as one of those things, rather than a failing on your part, because it's really not your fault.

I've known my best friend since I was not even a year old, but many of my other close friends have known theirs for only a year or two. You will eventually find someone, its just a matter of time.

ImGoingUnder answered Tuesday March 14 2006, 7:01 pm: I can relate totally, its a really hard situation to be in when having more than one best friend, because eventually they will all feel left out somehow. So what i suggest trying to do is just spread your time evenly amongst them and everything should be ok. [ ImGoingUnder's advice column | Ask ImGoingUnder A Question ]

iceicebabie27 answered Monday March 13 2006, 10:00 pm: First of all, ytou don't have to ahve a best friend, actaully a lot of people don't and that is tottaly fine amd Well what i think is that you shouldn't look for a PERFECT best friend becuase nobody is perfect, not to be rude but maybe your problem is accpeting people. Just accept your durrent best friend and you'll get along great, if she can't do the same for you, tell her that she shoulda nd if she can't she doesnt have her lessson learned. Try not to fight with them and just be real getntle when confronting them with a problem [ iceicebabie27's advice column | Ask iceicebabie27 A Question ]
someone1234 answered Monday March 13 2006, 8:25 pm: Well I think the best thing to do is make all your friends friends with eachother, if you cant have one best friend treat them all equally dont have on take the place of another. Have a group of close friends. It works out for everybody. [ someone1234's advice column | Ask someone1234 A Question ]
xomegaroni answered Monday March 13 2006, 8:01 pm: this is deifnately a girl thing. most girls think you have the 'one best friend' when you shouldn't. i have a lot of close friends, kind've like a circle of best friends. that's an easy way where everyones accepted & you don't juss have one friend that's a girl that you can depend on. you have many friends that are girls that way.
