Do you feel nothing to say when you're together with your best friend?

I met a girl when I was in junior high school.We have much in common.So we became friends soon.After three years of study,we had to seperate.We didn't study in one school.During the time we were in senior high,we often hung out.But I felt I had little to say to her.It fears me a lot.She is my best friend in my life and we can't say nothing when we are together!I don't know how to deal with the problem. What's your point of view?

i totally feel the same way! i met my best friend when we were in second grade, we went to the same elementary and high school together but took different courses in college. it usually feels like when we hang out, we barely talk about anything. i guess it's kinda like what they say, you know when you're friends you really don't have to talk to each other all the time. but i have to admit, it DOES feel weird

Hi! I've been in that situation before. I have a classmate (all girls school) in 2nd yr highschool that people would make a fuss about us vying for the top 3 in class. We never got close that time until we became classmates again in 4th yr, especially when she became my seatmate. I learnt many things that about her, that she was not the type of person people, even me used to think of her then. We are very much opposites in almost all aspects, except in our appetite for food and respect for friends. We separated in college and our communication was becoming less and less that there used to be a time that we only get to see each other once in a year. I find it awkward to start a conversation bec. I didnt know what/ or I wasnt sure if she still the same, you know things like that. Especially when she had her 1st boyfriend (while i remain single huhuh)... Now, we've both have our college degrees from different universities, we still see each other very often like once/twice a year, but I know she'll still be my best friend I plan to keep until I grow old. How we ever manage to do that? By just trying your best to start a conversation even if its awkward, tell her how awkward it is and start sharing about your thoughts of still wanting her to be your friend. Im not sure if Ive said what I wanted to say here. Just be yourself when you're with here, communicate your thoughts, even silly thoughts that can make you both laugh. I know its hard, but maybe she can see your effort and both of you can make lessen the tension and work it out eventually. A toast to your friendship gurl! ('v')!!!

Maybe seeing as you spend a lot of your time apart it is a little hard to have common things to talk about, but if you get some common interests you will have more to talk about...maybe you are just both a little shy....

I think to some extend I have this problem too. I met one of my friend when we were in junior high school. And then we went to different high school and university. I don't know. But we seldom contact each other. Now I am not sure whether we are just like before. Anyway, I meet some new friends myself in my life and some of them become my good friends. I think it's quite fair to me. I always have someone to turn to when I feel like letting something out. When I am with my best friend in this university, we actually have a lot to talk about. When people share something, they can communicate in a better way. Anyway, just be joyful.
