20 Things You Will Only Understand If You Have A BFF

In life, there are friends and there are best friends. While it’s very possible to make friends wherever you go in life, finding a true BFF is a rare thing indeed and once you’ve found one person to whom you can tell everything, it’s very likely that you won’t find another. Our BFFs see us through the hardest and strangest times in our lives, thus, we develop a relationship with them that is a little more unique than most. If you’ve got a BFF, then it’s almost certain that everything here applies to your relationship. Call them now, you know you want to.

You Can Communicate Without Words

Your other friends try and get in on the action but both of you know that no-one else will ever really understand.

“Too Close” Means Nothing To You

When you’re with your BFF practically 24/7, your idea of what boundaries are begins to change a little bit. You have seen them naked more times than you can count and whilst others think that you’re too close, you know that it’s just because you’re basically the same person.

You Always Support Their Dumb Ideas

Let’s face it; most ideas that we come up with in our younger years aren’t exactly founded on reason and rationality. Your best friend is not immune to the stupidity of youth, but even when they come up with their most outlandish idea yet, you find yourself nodding along and giving them your full support.

You Talk On All Platforms At Once

Texting is not sufficient for your and your BFF. At any given time, the two of you can be talking via Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and text and have an open phone call on the go. Hey, you just want to be in touch with them in case something happens and you’re not there.

You’re Unafraid To Repeatedly Text Them

While you text romantic interests with caution, you have no problem with repeatedly texting your friend if they don’t answer straight away. Needy doesn’t even figure in your relationship and if they’re not there, you contact them until they are.

You Use “We” In Conversations With Others

Your BFF and you are practically the same person, so when you talk to other people, it only seems natural to include their opinion at the same time. Even when they aren’t around, you refer to things you have done together, leading others to believe they are your significant other.

Your other friends have all but given up hanging out with the pair of you when you’re together. Your conversations are made up entirely of bizarre in-jokes and if the third person doesn’t get it, that’s their problem.

Your Parents Question Your Relationship Status

You have faced the humiliation of your parents thinking the pair of you are in a relationship and dealt with it. The truth is, what you two share is more meaningful than any romantic relationship could ever be and if your parents can’t understand it, that’s fine.

You Spend Most Of Your Time Reminiscing

You Take Instagram Couple Photos

Your collective Instagram feed would make even the most affectionate of couples feel uncomfortable. Every moment of your time together is a potential selfie opportunity and you have no shame in snapping another friend shot together.

You’re Always Their Plus One

You Hate Everyone They Hate

The fact that there are some people out there who don’t like your BFF is completely baffling to you. You couldn’t imagine loving anyone more, and when there is someone that they don’t like for any reason, you unconditionally follow their lead.

When You Fight, It’s Like A Breakup

You can count the number of times the two of you have fought on one hand, but when you do get into an argument, it’s not pretty. Fighting with your BFF is like being ripped inside out and you can’t imagine anything worse in the world.
