I don't know about the article you read but friendship is down to the individual. It's up to you how many close or best friends you have. I have a few. Some of them I can talk to more openly about family problems, some of them I can talk about work related things, some of them I can talk to about marital issues. It all depends on where people's interests lie. It's impossible (for me anyway) to have one person that I can talk to about absolutely everything. Also my husband, as an example, has friends he can talk about his passion of football and friends he can talk to about politics and world affairs, these are not the same people! I talk to my husband about a lot of things and consider him to be one of my best friends but there are certain girly things you can't discuss with your husband and of course, there's nothing wrong with that :)

I only have one best friend, my husband. He really is a best friend...he makes me laugh, he listens to me, he cares about what I've done, we like to do fun things together, I see him more than once every 6 months... My other friends do not do this...some of them I have not seen in months or years...I used to have very good friends, but most of them have moved away for better jobs or opportunities...many of my friends have drifted away over the years sadly

Though one have many friends, one can have only one best friend.You may be with number of friends at your happy moments.But the best friend is one ,who accompany you when you are in troubles.your hard my best friend is my younger sister.. we share every movement in our life either it may sad or happy.

we can have so many close friends..but for me, besfriend is only one, the one who you can trust, share all your happiness and pains, a person who you can talk anything under the sun and of course he/she should be the one who will never leave you no matter what. my bestfriend is my best test friend and my lover as well. am glad i met him!

Hi there Soniasony! I have a few close friends but I still consider one as my best friend. He is my husband. Well, we were originally best friends before we married each other. We were able to maintain being best friends but of course, with issues about us, I need my other girl friends.

hi i have many friends-but there are only 2-i wud say who are my best friends, besides off course my gurl-who is the one-and-only best friend of mine.i have had couple of my best friends who involved in lot of back biting in my absence.so i am extra cautious now as far as confiding all my top secrets are concerned.i feel that not all ur best friends are capable of really helping u when u need them the most.

Good morning and Happy Valentine's day Soniasony may it be filled with love. I have never felt like I couldn't trust anyone in this world. I have many of best friends, i have two best friends out of all of my besties who haven't judged me on how I act, say, or what I do. My best friend Cheyenne has been my best friend ever since the 7th grade. I can tell Cheyenne any and everything. She is so sweet, she is not judgemental and is very good at giving advice. My other best friend Taylor is sweet too. Taylor is goofyand brings positive energy especially when I am mad so I don't stay mad too long. You can pour your heart out to taylor and she will never ever judge you at all.

We can have as many bestfriend as we have since we meet a lot of people in different walks of our lives but I consider my mother my "bestest" friend because she is always there and willing to listen and reserving her comments when she knows I don't need it yet.

i have many best friends and i also have many close friends and friends! that really depends on how you take them as who they are in your life. but all of it just simply means friends! someone you could lean on and open minded in any thing that may happen.

Well thats a very interesting topic, there is a catch here, you can have friends as well as best friends. The number has got a huge difference in this professional world. I have plenty of friends but only 2 of them are my best friends as they have always motived and helped me in the best way they can.
