Your best friend is your rock. She knows not only about the itch down there but also about everything that’s happening up here. They’re the individuals God has specifically sent to earth to help you bond. Without them, we’re not sure we could survive this thing called life. As much as we love counting our blessings, too much of everything can translate to a few tiffs, snarky comments and frustration.
Two humans can agree on most things, but they cannot be in absolute synchronicity. They’ll understand everything that is going on in your life, but there comes a time when you just need some space to be your own person. No amount of help or opinions can replace the things YOU want.
Our best friends have the most potential to get to us, because: a) they’re our best friends and that’s above everything else; b) you have no interest in starting a drama with them; and c) you don’t need your best friend not talking to you for the next four hours because their feelings are hurt. So what is the next best reaction? Absolute silence. Accompanied by a scowl or the middle finger on bad days.
These situations, however, teach you patience, empathy, and above all, the nuances of friendship. So here are a few things we want to tell our best friends at times, but don’t–because peace, bruh!
1. Dude, I get you that you know my situation, but I am not looking for an opinion on how to deal with this break-up.
2. I know you’re lying about being busy. Rohan told me you’re hanging with him so…
3. Can you not speak on my behalf in front of this cute boy? I know you get protective but I can handle it!
4. Is there some way to make you feel better because it hurts me so damn much to see you unhappy!
5. I know about the time you bitched about me, but I get it–we were fighting and I was being impractical.
6. Please at least greet my mom when you enter the house like it’s yours!
7. When did you decide to borrow the sequined halter? Also, when am I getting it back?
8. Can you please listen to my advice for once? I know how to handle things!
