Is it normal that I do not have any best friend?

[Anonymous]

i do have many friends but they are circumstantial friends. i was a very dependant person back in school where i always used to be behind my besties back but now that i am in college i dont have any real friends whom i can share about anything. my bestie and i got seperated by different colleges and we used to keep in touch now she is married and moving on with her life. Its been 5years and sometimes i really miss her and i feel like i dont have any real friend to talk to

It is normal. Sometimes we outgrow our best friends in the post secondary school era, bc college can be extremely busy and we anticipate moving again in an effort to find work in our field of study. No point in making a new bestie, only to turn around and give them up again 2 or 3 years down the road. Once you get out of school, there's a lot of competition for time, like a boyfriend/girlfriend, exercise, career, hobbies, sleep/rest, etc. and we only have a finite time to do all of those things, which really spreads us thin at times. Hopefully, once you get situated in a career, you can find a new bestie to spend time with.

I have four best friends, and I met them all in college, but we didn't become tight until several years after college. So yes, it's normal. Focus on building the bond you have with normal friends, as as those bonds grow, a few of them will develop into relationships you truly value.

I moved too much around as child to find a bestie. Maybe I'm incapable mentally for this kind of relationship with other girl. I find friends easily but I know always in back of head why they want to be my friends and it's always very opportunistic reason. I could go over it easily and play dumb, but why I should doing that?

Good friends is hard to find let alone a best friend. Its normal. That’s why when you find a friend worthy, you never let them go.

In my entire life I’ve only had 4 best friends.

Perfectly fine. You can always have a best comrade instead, if You’re socialist!

How do we define what’s “normal”

It’s a lot more common in todays world.
