People let me tell ya 'bout my best friend...

[Nexxus]

Until recently I did not confide heavily in those I know. I have been fortunate enough to find someone in whose opinions and ideals I trust deeply. While growing up I always had a "best friend" i would experience life with, but never truly discuss my deepest thoughts for fear of being labeled "weird" (like now is any different...weird is as weird does).
Anywho, having found this fantastic soul whom holds my highest regard, as well as a regular spot in many of my imaginative fantasies, I ponder. Who do you tell your desires, fears, aggravations, and deep thoughts to? And have you known them long or did you meet them recently?

Au river,

Manu, definitely. We met 12 years ago, when I was 16 & he was 18. We've been best friends ever since. I tell him everything, and he tells me everything. Even when we were dating other people, we'd still hang out together. This didn't sit well with our current boyfriends/girlfriends...I even had a guy force me to choose between being Manu's friend or being HIS girlfriend...well, that was a BIG mistake on his part, because just by ASKING me to make that choice pretty much showed me that he wasn't The One. A few years ago, Manu and I finally figured out that the way around the problem of jealous mates was to start dating EACH OTHER, and the rest is history. We're still best friends, but now we sleep in the same bed too.

My best friend in the world is a married man. I am also his best friend, and yes, it is platonic. We probably spend an hour a day or more on the phone with each other. He knows me better than any other human on earth and I probably know him almost as well as his wife, and in some cases, I know him better. She would probably kill him if she knew all that he has told me. Anyway, I have known him for 6 years. Before him, there was no one that I ever trusted enough to share this much of myself with. The things I now am comfortable enough to tell him I previously just kept to myself.

Thinking about this, I just realized that there is no one single person that knows everything about me. I share little bits of myself with different people. I wish there was somebody I could share everything with. Sad subject, so I'll quit here.

i am fortunate as my best friend also happens to be my lover, my life, and my wife.
i wouldn't want it any other way.

...he's a warm hearted person who loves me to the end,
People let me tell you about my best friend,
He's my one boy, cuddly toy,
My up, my down, my pride and joy,
People let me tell you about him, he's so much fun,
Whether we're talking man to man,
Or whether we're talking son to son,
Yeah, he's my best friend.

I love that song. I sing it to my son all the time.

I have several best friends. We all came to LA together from NY. We've known each other since our early acting class days, and now our kids play with each other. We're kind of like that movie "The Four Seasons", but without the fat guy who's afraid of his underwear.

Wow.. The following is going to make me sound like SUCH a loser.

I have no best friend.

I grew up in Ohio.. Left there before 2nd grade, didn't keep in contact with any of my friends. Was put into a private school for gifted children when we moved to Indiana and I was in 2nd grade.. Went to public school for 4th grade. Just as I was making friends halfway through the year, I was transplanted into the 'accelerated' class, which was completely cut off from the rest of the school. Then we moved to Montana, where I stopped making friends until my freshman year of college-- partly because the kids hated me, partly because I was afraid we'd leave again.

Sure enough, I haven't talked to a single person I was on good terms with in high school this summer.

My only friend at the beginning of the school year last year betrayed me. Why do you think I love corresponding over the Internet? If someone hurts me, I can turn off the computer and go back to real life. Kinda.

I've made a really close friend at at school named Rachel, and I think I would have killed myself without her influence in my life.

But the kind of stuff you're talking about here.. People who've never left you, that have stayed through good and bad, who know every part of you and accept it anyway.. All I have like that is God.

I have two best friends.

The person I call my best friend knows me... or knows what I let her know. She knows my persona, I guess you could say. We've been pretty much inseparable since we met 9 years ago in the sixth grade. Now everyone laughs at us because we bicker like an old married couple . Anyway, we learned about everything together. But I will never be able to tell her everything for fear of what she may think of me.

My true best friend I met here on Literotica about 4 months ago... it was wierd. A complete coincidence. I ICQ'd him to tell him that I loved a particular story of his, and to ask him about his English degree, since I was thinking about changing my major to English. He never answered, and so about a week later I sent one more message just out of curiosity. He got that one. Turns out he didn't get the first message, and if I hadn't been insistent and sent the second one, we wouldn't ever have met. But we instantly "clicked" (well, as much as you can "click" online). Even before we talked on the phone we were able to finish each other's sentences. We just instantly "knew" each other. And we also accepted each other. I think that's the most important part of a friendship. It is the greatest gift he has given me. To me, a person who can accept everything that you truly are without reservation is the definition of what a true best friend is.

I have 2 best friends, one IRL, and one here.

My best real life friend is my pal Robert aka "JR". I first met him in 1995 just after I was getting out of football practice one night. He told me he was thinking about coming out but was nervous. I simply told him there wasn't much to be nervous about and that football was fun. The rest is history. Him and his sister Sharon are probably my two best real life friends. (until me and Brandie start dating *i hope we do*)

And from here, my best friend is La Siren. Someone who knows what I have been through and yet still is there to make me laugh my ass off on occasion and be a great pal. I owe alot to her and Carl buddy you have a real gem in her.

Anyways, that is aboot it for now. Talk soon!



Me
pull me under, pull me under. pull me under i'm not afraid.

DCL.....
I swear to God, if you don't stop makin' me laugh so hard I'm gonna find you and puke all over you from the these cramps.

Rosie...I'm gonna be 37. But I feel only 70.

I have a wife who does not understand relationships outside the marrige. She constantly tells me she cannot figure out how I can converse so openly with strangers. I have always been labeled the person who everyone tells everything to. I don't know why, but I hold it in high regard that people like to talk to me and I keep all of secret and never betray a trust. that may be the biggest plus of all.
My wife would die if she knew what i talked about to others, my feelings, the events in my life. She has no really close friends that i know about (this may be important), and I am constantly begging her to make friends and go out with them and DO things. But she prefers a "family" lfe and just the three of us (or her immediate relatives) to spend all our time together. She never tells me not to go out, but it's always "it's okay, we'll be home. Stay out as late as you want, i've got stuff to do around the hose." Ya' know, hidden guilt.
I try to talk to her but she says alot of subject (especially sex) make her very uncomfortable and she doesn't like to talk about them. As a matter of respect, i don't force her to talk about anything she doesn't want to, but it forces me to talk to others and luckily find people like you on the board and people like the one I have given my secrets over to lately.
Anyway, to those of you who have no close personal confidant...hold out. i found mine at 36, you never know who might be turning the corner ready to bump into you, or who may be on the other end of the phone when you pick it up and say "Hi this is Bill (i hope you'd use your own name). How can i help you." And theyt can make all the difference in the world.

no one knows everything about me. it seems odd since i'm so outspoken, but i don't want others to think i'm as weird as i think i am.
the one who knows the most i met this year in april and it's unusual bec he's only 17 but somehow amazingly intelligent and focused. not to mention we connected immediately. i am married and he has a girlfriend, but we are each other's best friends. i think we take comfort in knowing each others deepest (well, most of them) secrets and knowing no one else has access there.
he knows more about me in the last 4 months than my hubbie whom i've been with for more than 6 years.

Finally....

I am my own best friend. I have learned to be honest with myself; no more lies. Although I do share a lot of my feelings with my friends, I have one very excellent friend, who also happens to be my former therapist. All of my other friends are good friends in the sense that there is depth to our relationships. These are, maybe, 3 or 4 others including my wife. I consider myself quite fortunate.

Always remember that to have a friend you have to be a friend.

Flamingo Blue, Esq. is my best friend cause I have him on retainer. I give him my two cents everytime he makes a thread and he gives me legal advice concerning the disposition of my relatives once we divorce. We're still trying to decide who keeps the carburator.

Seriously though, my best friend has changed with every new duty station we've been to. The military is wonderful for seeing new places, but hell on friendships. Distance has a tendency to make mine drift apart. We're still good friends, very good friends, but time keeps passing and the distance seems to keep growing.

The only problem I have with my husband as my best friend is that he's entirely too squeamish about 'female troubles and Mr. Friendly's monthly visit' and I can't exactly bitch about him to him without starting a fight. I like to complain alot when he's right and I'm not before settling down to admit it.
