If you want a deep though of mine, I have one bsf, that’s the only friendship I have upheld for as long as I have, compared to all many friendships i’ve had. I think we all have too much of a habit sometimes of creating the perfect person in our brains that we are searching for, for them to be our “bestfriend” or even partner, and are missing really good people by being too picky. Try and get yourself out there somehow. Play social games, go to events with your partner, etc! I wish you luck!💛

I don’t particularly know what about me has made me unworthy or undesirable to be someone’s best friend. I might never know what a best friend bond feels like. Ever.

The idea that “after x date my life will end” is a pretty universal feeling, but it’s just not true. Despite what your feeling try to acknowledge that you will continue to meet people throughout your life, you will continue to form new relationships, and you will continue to learn about yourself and others and how those 2 connect and differ.

religious people trying to be empathetic will always be funny. You’re answer to everything is always the “lord” and never something concrete

tbf churches do sometimes have community but it’s very 50/50 if they do. volunteering is much better for making friends since it’s guaranteed to get you closer with people (working for a good cause), and they tend to be good people as well. I’ve also taken friends I know to places to volunteer and we always have a great time

If it makes you feel better, my mom met her best friend of 16 years through me in kindergarten ( she was another mom). You have time.
