Best friends are like…

They are friends with you not because they don’t know your faults, but in spite of knowing them.

Friends no matter what

They’re there for you, no matter how much trouble you're in – well, almost.

The same sense of humour

Everyone else may not get why the two of you go off into gales of laughter at seemingly unfunny stuff, but you both understand perfectly.

Deepest, darkest secrets

You can trust friends with some secrets. However, when it comes to entrusting someone with the deepest, darkest, most embarrassing secrets; it has to be that one non-judgemental best friend.

Through thick and thin

Some of the most interesting/scary/memorable events in your life include your best friend. You’ve always had the most fun with that one best friend.

Being yourself

You can be as rude, crude, messy, slovenly and uncouth as you want around the real best friend. They don’t judge you. They can’t. Because they're just like you!

They have your back

They will look out for you, protect you and wreak revenge upon your enemies. Because if someone hurts you, that best friend comes over all fierce like mess with my friend, mess with me!

You’ve come a long way

Remember when you met? When you were all polite with each other and all? No? Well it was a long time ago. Politeness and sensitivity have long been sacrificed somewhere along the way.

Shared joys

Their achievements are yours. Their triumphs are yours. Their joys are yours. Or at least you can take credit for them.

Attuned

You can practically finish each other’s sentences. You designate the same people as idiots and crazies and you both have the same allergic reaction to stupidity. You’ve done all the forbidden stuff and the crazy nonsense together. You can simply look at each other and burst out laughing – no one else knows why, but the you both know precisely why.
