How Close Are You to Your Best Friend?

You know what your best friend is going to say even before she opens her mouth. You often call each other on the phone at the exact same moment. You tend to have the same interests, thoughts, feelings, and opinions. You may have grown up together, and it's likely you'll be friends until you die. If there's an afterlife, you'll be friends there, too.

Are you sure you and your best friend aren't conjoined twins? You two are almost as close as two people can be. You do everything together. You may not always have the same interests or ideas, but you always totally understand where the other one is coming from. You are there for your friend, no matter what, and so is she, for you.

You and your best friend make a good team. You're not completely alike, but your differences are compatible ones. Maybe you are more energetic and outgoing and she is more laid back and thoughtful, or vice versa. At any rate, you complement each other, and on the deepest level, your values are the same.

You and your best friend are different people. You have different personalities and different lifestyles, so you may not see each other as much as either of you would like. Yet, when you do get together, you have so much fun. You really enjoy each other's company.

You may be very different from your best friend, so much so that you don't really understand her, and perhaps she doesn't really understand you either. Yet, you like to spend time together. It's fun to exchange your different views on the world. It's always good to get a new perspective.

Maybe your busy lifestyles have gotten in the way, but you and your best friend don't seem to have the time for each other that you once used to. Or, maybe you've simply grown apart. After all, people change, especially as the years go by. Still, why not pick up the phone for a chat, or make a date to go out for coffee or even a stroll. There's obviously something worth rekindling there.
