Have you ever sat back and realized that you're really weird? Then you wondered how, after all this time, your best friend still chooses to be your best friend. I mean, after all the ugly cries they have witnessed, the obscure confessions you've told them, and the secrets you've exposed to them, they never leave your side. Having a best friend is a beautiful thing and one of the best kind of relationships. It's something I personally like to call a frielationship. You share an inseparable bond with this human that loves you for you, even in your worst moments. Is it possible to be too close to your bestie, you ask? The answer is never. To some, it may seem as though you're "too close,” but who knows what that even means. Here are some weird things you do with your best friend that aren't actually weird to you.
1. You text each other in basically another language, but you both seem to understand it. Yes, this includes emojis.

2. When it comes to food, there is no such thing as manners. You take bites of each other's food without asking, double dip, and sometimes let out a little burp that neither of you even acknowledge.
3. You use the restroom in front of each other while still holding a conversation. It's a talent, really, and completely normal to us. Men's greatest question to women is why we have to travel to the restroom in groups. Well men, it's because we are holding a conversation that simply can't be halted when one friend has to go to the restroom, so we go together and talk the whole time.
4. It would be impossible to gross your best friend out anymore. You’ve picked at countless wedgies in front of each other, held their hair back when they were sick, and many other things that I will not mention for the sake of your stomach. There really is nothing you haven't seen.
5. You are each other's cuddle buddy. You lay on each other while watching your favorite show on Netflix and crawl into each other's bed for snuggles after a long day. Who needs boys when you have a best friend?
6. You scavenge each other's closet without asking. What's better than having one closet full of clothes? Having a second closet full of clothes. Your conversations may go like this, "Do you have my purple sweater?" "Yeah, it's buried in my laundry."
7. You talk openly about personal things. When it comes to your best friend, there really are no secrets and no boundaries regarding the things you talk about. You had a weird sex dream last night? Your best friend will definitely be hearing about this later.
8. They always join you when you start dancing or singing. Best friends are great sidekicks, and they just get you. This means when you get a random burst of energy and begin acting as if you're a 90's pop star, they suddenly become your back-up dancer and start harmonizing to the song with you. You've got to love spontaneous dance parties.
9. You send random screenshots, thoughts, and ugly selfies. This is something that happens throughout the entire day. It doesn't matter if they’re laying in their bed in the room next to yours. If you have a hilarious screenshot, they are the first person receiving it.
10. Awkward silences are not awkward. Since you spend most of your time together, you've adjusted to awkward silences that sometimes happen and have even grown to like them. Plus, who needs to talk all the time when you can basically communicate through telepathy? By just looking at your best friend, you can tell when something is wrong, or you notice that look in their eye when they want to leave the party early. Best friend telepathy is a gift.
