I am 2 people's best friend, my boyfriend and my pen-pal.

Throughout the whole of school I had so many people that I considered to be my best friend but they never saw me as that at all. At best I was maybe number 5 on the list but mostly I was the person to talk to when no-one else was around.

I was, way back when I was 5 years old. Then for a short while this year. Nice girl, had no other friends at the time. Now that she does I've become her "best guy friend". Dunno if that counts; really, all that means is that she might talk to me if I initiate conversation...

Kilroy is right, though. There's always someone who would want to be your friend. You just have to go out and meet 'em :)

But people who are free to move on usually do. Like, my coworkers really like me after a while, once they figure out that I'm not really sullen and hostile, I just look that way. And when I had roommates we usually got along great most of the time. People have to get past the lack of eye contact, the absence of small talk, random topics of conversation, etc. I think the hyperactivity is the worst... people think you're a powderkeg ready to blow when you can't sit still for 2 minutes. People who really know me think I'm pretty funny (I think I'm pretty funny, too... I crack myself up all the time).

Once I figured this out, I got a lot more patient with putting up with people and sticking out situations even when they don't seem promising. Usually the people I really like tend to be people I didn't like at all at first. Like, I had this volunteer job where I felt like my co-volunteer didn't want me around. I really wanted to be there and so I would always think "sucks for you, man, I'm not quitting." And now I think we get along fine. (of course, that's my POV, I could be wrong!)

As for best friend, for sure I'm nobody's best friend. My daughter is my best friend. She's been stuck with me for a while. :)

I remember growing up and what few friends I had, I would always want to be concidered their best friend if I called them my best friend...but they always had some other friend someplace else that they concidered their best friend....(me regressing here a little bit)

I guess the closest thing would be Flakey(my boyfriend)....I guess I am his best friend...I guess I need to ask him if I am his best friend.

The last time someone called me their best friend, they were totally lying and weren't my friend at all..they were probably drunk or on drugs or something.

I was once the best friend of a girl I went to school with, but those days are long gone. Now, I am Berserker's best friend.

I have two people who have called me their best friend...does that mean I have to be theirs? I would say that the person I'm closest to is my sis, but she's been away at college ='(
