My friend doesn't get it.
I don't think my friend understands that you can be best friends, do things with other people (seperately) but still be best friends. Any advice?

Tell you're friend that you need to be seperated from time to time. Tell her what is on your mind...

You just need to have a talk with her. Just be like,"____, look, you're my best friend and you know that. You know I love hanging out with you and that I'd never try and replace you or anything, but I need to sometimes do things with other people. It's not that I don't want to hang out with you or anything, but sometimes I just miss my other friends so I hang out with them, and then whenever I really miss you I hang out with you. But see? Just because I hang out with other people, doesn't mean you're not my best friend. And whenever I hang out with my other friends, that also gives you time to hang out with your other ones too! So we'll both get to see some of our friends we haven't seen in awhile." Or something like that. Just let her know how much you care about her and you wouldn't trade her friendship for anybody else's, but you just sometimes need time to be by yourself or hanging out with your other friends.
I hope I helped.

Gosh i know where your coming from. My sister is the same exact way. Just tell her that you need to talk to her about something. Tell her that she is your bestfriend but you would like to hang out with other friends also. tell her that no one will stop you guys being friends but you need to spend time with your other friends. just like you spend time with her.
Every once in a while have just a group of friends including her hang out together and talk to all of them. Show her that you have other friends that you would like to hang out with at times also.
hope this helps

Make her get the picture! Talk to her and tell her "I think you are the best friend ever! But you have to understand that best friends will be able to let the other one go." She'll get the picture that you want to hang out with your other friends too. Try not to sound as if you are LEAVING her... just tell her that you will stay her best friend but you can also hang out with your other friends too.
I hope I helped!
