There are acquaintances, there are pals, there are good friends, and then there are BFFs. But how do you really know if your friendship has reached the next level? Luckily, there are more than a few signs to let you know where you stand with your #posse.

You know you're best friends...

Because it's more than that you're exceptional at being incredibly stupid together.

It's that you can be brutally honest with one another.

And not have any boundaries, at all.

Plus, they feel your pain like it's their own.

And they help you understand confusing things.

You call them mean names out of love. 

In fact, you've probably threatened their life at some point. 

You can basically read one others' minds.

You've killed spiders together.

You think the same things are funny. 

You also like a lot of the same things.

And have the same priorities.

But really.

You admire and respect them for their many skills.

Honestly, you enjoy any and all their strange traits.

Most of the time.

You know what they like to do when no one's watching.

And you have too many hilarious memories together to remember them all.

Kissing them is as common as kissing your favorite pet.

Nights in with them are the best.

Nights out with them are even better.

Because obviously they're your ultimate dance partner(s).

What's yours is theirs and what's theirs is yours.

They'll always tell you what they really think. 

The thought of getting to see them after time apart makes you way too excited. 

Like, crazy excited.

Because seeing them never fails to make you smile. 

They know how to ask you the hard-hitting questions.

And give you a reality check when you need it.

You know their embarrassing childhood secrets. 

You've had some pretty intense pillow talks.

You even have a back-up life plan set up with them.

They help you answer scary questions...

They've absolutely got your back.

You've definitely cried together.

You can't bear the thought of being separated.

They're your number one fans.

And they're always there for you when the going gets tough.

You love them, plain and simple.
