friends help: I want a “bff” again… - Help.com

I want a “bff” again…

I dont really have “bestfriends” anymore besides my boyfriend.. I dont have anyone that I just HAVE to call after something happends, or to hang out with and gossip with talk about our boyfriends ect.. I havent for 2 years now every person I believed in and put my trust into as a bestfriend has screwed me over. In my 18 years of life I have learned that “bestfriends” are the ones who usually hurt you the most. I want that again, but I just cant seem to let me gaurd down and trust in a girl. Simply because I dont really tell anyone about my self because I honestly deep down dont think they care. I used to wine alot to my best friends, I dont wine at all anymore. I dont have anything to wine about..and I have tried to get close to my old friends again but it just seems like Iv matured so much faster then them, I think things they do are silly, I now laugh when they would tell me their boyfriend cheated on them with their best friend but their boyfriend apologized so they think he deserves another chance….but I think older people view me as a child thanks to my age. Most of the guy friends I had have became distant ever since I got into a relationship confirming my thought that they only wanted to be friends with me in hopes of me looseing my values…

I need to know how to let people in again. I want a best friend again. I miss it.

Me too, I don’t have bff any more. They all seem to forget about you when they have a boyfriend and that makes me loose trust in them because if they were really a good friend they would make time. Then other’s just aren’t very dependable. Gahh girls for friends are rubbish :(

Hi Joy. If you are satisfied with your boyfriend, why do you want a male best friend? And (should have asked this first) where do I apply??

ooh… so that’s what ‘bff’ means! i was always wondering what it stands for whenever i read it…
well, sometimes we just don’t have the ‘privilege’ to have any i guess.
and yeah, i’ll have admit that the bit about ‘being friends but just hoping for girls to loosen up their values’ is very true sometimes… my sincere apologies on the behalf of all those guys.

What makes them lousy mothers? What silly things do they do that you find peculiar?

So much for gir. He can’t get past your eyes!

They are very pretty, I must admit. But I’m more interested in your mind.

Well, consider that good news. She could have handed you court papers naming you in her paternity suit.

They mostly do alot of drugs, and drink..I dont drink and have never done drugs..It used to seem so normal for all my friends to do drugs but once they all had children I figured they would wise up and stop doing drugs but they still do drugs.. their parents take care of their children..

That’s pretty lousy alright. I commend you for staying clean. That wasn’t easy but you did it. I hope you feel proud.
So enough about them. What about you? Anything at all you want to unload off your mind to a new bff?

you said:
“they only wanted to be friends with me in hopes of me looseing my values…”

First may I say I am glad you wish to keep those values.

But in some twisted way it does isolate you as one of “them” or one of “those”.
I am one of “them” and your one of “them” but we are therefor boring?

I am the same way. My BFF is 600 miles away and I talk to her about once every two months, it’s horrible! I just hang out with all of my boyfriend and I’s mutual guy friends. I like sports, poker, video games, etc, but sometimes I need girl time. So, basically, I’ll be your new BFF. If you’ll have me.

I’m in the same boat.
My “best friend” and I recently stopped hanging out. She went to a local college, got new friends and got interested in other things. (Drinking, frat parties, ect) I dunno but that’s just not my type of thing.
I don’t think I’ve seen her now for about 2 months. We used to hang out every weekend, talk daily and at one point we used to work together. My fiance and I got engaged in July and I don’t know if that sort of pissed her off? She was sort of jealous of our relationship .. or what.. but yeah. I have nobody except family to talk to, unless I talk to my fiance.. but if I have problems with him or concerns I need a girls advice on, I have nobody. It’s extremely depressing.

Your eyes are really pretty!! As for the bestfriend thing you are right. They do hurt you the most. It’s hard to have a bestfriend especially when you whine and complain a little to much sometimes. Just keep looking I know there is someone out there for you. I’m not happy to say this but me and my bff are on the rocker at the moment and I don’t think it’s gonna turn out to well. Good luck and hang in there!
