Being an Introvert is not the reason why I don't have someone I can call my best friend. It used to be because of this one time in primary school when I found out my best friend had another best friend that I didn't know of, crushed me.
Then again, I grew out of it. Having to move around a lot, it was generally difficult to keep up with everyone. Friendships come and go, and we became so swept up with our own lives that really drifted us apart. Who says adulting is easy?
But what is my definition of a best friend?
"Best friends are like significant others - it has a lot to do with proximity and frequency of contact, and you're not really supposed to have more than one."
It's true that over time you'll come to learn who are worth keeping and who your real friends are. It's not usually easy to walk away from people, but it definitely is worth leaving those who are toxic, in terms of mentality and attitudes. I am certainly grateful with the small number of close friends I have now, who are so amazing, inspiring and motivating in so many ways. Although I secretly buried the desire of being someone's best friend, I think it is more important to cherish those who are already in my life right now.
Less friends, less drama. No best friend, more naps.
