"I feel pathetic! I'm almost 30 years old with no close friends. I want a best friend, someone I click with, who I can call and hang out with multiple times a week. But I just can't seem to find anyone. I get on with most people very well. I have loads of friends, mostly parents and colleagues with a few others thrown in the mix, who I can go for strolls and coffee with. But nobody that I can call a real friend if you know what I mean. I have an amazing bunch of online friends I've known since I was 14 but we are scattered all over the place and with life it is very rare we meet. I just haven't clicked with anyone to the point I can call them day or night, show up at their door in my pyjamas kind of thing. And I worry I might never have a best friend other than my partner. You can't force these things though! Have you got a best friend? Or do you just plod through life with basic bitch friends? " Me neither And tbh that's probably on me. Ive not put on the work nor the vulnerability to have a really deep friendship. But it's a shitty feeling nonetheless when you realise it's all surface no feeling. ![]() | |||

I’ve got about 5 circles of mates with one within each that’s really close. And a brother from another mother where we’ve done proper shit together who’s my bestie. I have to say though I am pretty amicable. | |||

"Also if you can commit to one coffee every 3 months I’ll be your friend " You’re easily pleased… at least ask for a happy meal, where YOU get to keep the toy! ![]() | |||

You can't force these things though! Have you got a best friend? Or do you just plod through life with basic bitch friends? " Ah LBC, that’s nothing to feel pathetic about, lovely. Just look at what you’ve written about how many friends you have! That shows you’re someone people want in their lives and that’s not to be taken lightly. Am I right in thinking you just moved? If so, I did the same last year and struggled to make new friends. I have now moved back and have a group of really solid friends that I know I can call on any time, but they’re all from school or early jobs. I feel as though I would struggle to make a new best friend now, at least not consciously. Maybe that will develop with 1-2 of your current circle. As you say, you can’t force these things. It’s like looking for a FWB. I want one in my life but no one ever seems to fit the bill. I also want a girlfriend (not at the same time - one or the other) and, despite hunting, I remain single. But I also remain confident one will appear in my life and I’ll be ready when she does. I’ll keep my balls crossed that you find a good friend, too. | |||

"My best mate and I don't see each other several times a week. We're too busy with kids sports training and activities etc. But we're see each other when we can. I had a call to go help her unclog her toilet from a monster poo she had the other day. I mean if that's not best friendship I don't know what is. ![]() Sounds just like the kind of call I would get from my bestie ![]() | |||

" Took me 42 years to be able to say I have a best friend....I was so insecure and lacking In trust, with such belief systems that I carri3d about myself, of how I'm. Not worthy of friends. Really influenced how I could not connect to people on a deeper level...bit today i have several close close friends ![]() ![]() | |||

"Totally know where you are coming from. I know lots of people.but I am quite a lonely person, who keeps himself to himself..I don't have close friends who I speak to daily, sometimes I dont speak to people for months, my closest people to me are my children but would be nice to have a close friend to share my days experiences. " Sounds very familiar. I have friends at work but none outside of the job. I don't socialise out of work much more comfortable on my own with own thoughts. Even at work i never make the first move to speak, instead just a forced smile + nod to say hello. | |||

You can't force these things though! Have you got a best friend? Or do you just plod through life with basic bitch friends? " I feel for you, OP, but I wouldn't say you're pathetic! I don't know if it's just me, but I find I have less need for close friends as I've gotten older, mainly because I prefer my own company, I guess. I can't really say I've ever had a ‘best friend’, just some people I've been around more than others. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of friends and numerous ones I consider ‘close friends’ (in that they know me better than others), but we don't have any real desire to hang out together as often as we did. Some friends I hang out with more than others, but those ratios can change at any time, mainly due to ever-changing circles of life, especially after the last few chaotic years. However, when my friends and I do hang out together, it's like we've never been apart (most of the time). All I'd suggest to you, OP, is that you firstly stop telling yourself you're pathetic (or a lesser person) for not having a ‘best friend’, as this may come across in your body language without you even realising it. The fact that you have a partner and friends is great, so just keep being the great person you are, because you never know when you'll be needed to help your friends during difficult times (and vice versa) ![]() | |||

"My best friend died in 2018. It was 9 weeks from diagnosis to death. We'd been friends for 30 years. I'm not one for lots of close friends, plenty of people I'm friendly with but I'm not going to have a friend like her again. I miss her, a lot." Sending you love. I lost someone very close to me six months ago, my brother who was also one of my closest friends I could truly be myself around. It's not easy but hopefully we will see them on the other side of the stars. ![]() | |||
