Why is it that some people feel that you can't have more than one "Best Friend"?

I know I'm part of the young generation but why do some of the females in this world feel that you have to focus on just them? For example I was friends with this girl, I considered her my best friend because we were always together (we lived in the same apartment complex) then she moved and basically shut me out, so I found a new friend that became my best friend. Now I don't mind if my current best friend has other "best friends" because I know that people have different definitions of the quote best friends.
But why are all these young females so pressed to get all the attention? And why do they fight with you about it? It's so petty. I try to be everyone's friend not just one person or the others. I'm a very giving person I guess. I hate to see people hurting.

I agree completely !
BI have like 5 best friends. And they all have more than 1 best friend too.
It makes no sence to have 1 best friend and everyone else is just your friends. If you single 1 friend out as your Best friend. your other friends will feel left out.
happy mylotting ! :)

Lets face it women can be very possessive and territorial. Young adults even are like this. They want that status of BFF and don't feel like sharing it with anyone else. I have seen this happen a lot. Me personally I have two best friends and I told them they both needed to get over that as I loved them both and cherished both of them equally.
What you yourself need to understand is that you can't please everyone in this world. And that a lot of the time it's not you who is hurting that person it is themselves. Because of how people are you can't expect to keep everyone happy there will be those who take it to heart and those who don't. For those who do that is their own accord to deal with not you. Be you hun and just keep on doing that. Never apologize for who you are, what you do, or who you associate with. It will save you a ton of stress in life trust me as someone who used to be this way. I myself am a lot happier because of it.

Oh girls really can be petty and catty can't they!? I personally believe though that you can have more than one best friends. Things change and dynamics change throughout life--that we are constantly making friends and possibly not having as close of friendships with other people. I think it's normal to have more than one best friend..like I have a best friend from home, a best friend from college, a best friend at work. There are many dynamics that give friends the title of best :)
