While I have some ‘friends’ that I keep at arms’ length for whom I try my best to keep my shit together, I can’t say I have what many would call a best friend. I am simply too untrusting and scared to have anyone know me that closely. My best friend is usually my partner at the time, and since those partnerships always end at some point, I don’t know what it’s like to have a consistent best friend who doesn’t leave me.
