Best Friends ?

Friendship is co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more people.

Is there such thing as a best friend? We often consider the friend that we spend the majority of our time with our best friend. The friend that is there the all of the time is a "best friend." The one that supports you through the good and bad. The friend that offers the advice that is sometimes not what you want to hear.

I know we've all had a friend that we could count on for at least one of these things at some point in time. I know that I have, but in the last two years I found myself eliminating, replacing, and second guessing so many of my friendships that I have had with others. I am not sure if it was because I changed, they changed, or we both did. I've been in arguments with some of my friends and some of those arguments have caused our friendships to never be the same. Sometimes I often wonder what is it that I am doing that is causing all of this tension, but when I look to myself I find it so hard to find the answer. I consider myself to be a good friend. I give advice when it is needed and/or wanted. I offer a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. I guess the only problem that I see is that when it comes time for me to need someone, they're gone or "conveniently busy." I'm not asking to be the center of someone's world, but I believe that any relationship goes both ways.

I guess my purpose of this post is that I'm making my declaration. LOL. I'm tired of being the friend to come to, but I can't go to them. I've never been the type to have tons of people that I get close to and if I have to live with one friend, I'm perfectly fine with that!

If you think this is about you, it is. Quit being a selfish bitch!
