[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are being too rigid about what a BFF friendship should be, and if you continue like this you're going to miss out on relationships that you didn't have to discard, but just didn't meet your rigid criteria, plus you'll be disappointed because it is really hard to make friends like the ones we made when we were young. And trust me, not everyone is up for the text-every-day and intimacy that you seem to expect. I would say, most people with husbands and kids are not up for the level of friendship that you are seeking.

So actually I think you have some other issue that you are taking out on this area of your life. I don't think there's anything "wrong" with you, but I think therapy would be good for you.[/quote]

OP. I know not everyone is up for it. I am grateful for and enjoy a number of different friendships. I wouldn't want to be intimate/text every day with the vast majority of people I've met anyway :)

However, it would be nice to have one such person! And I've had this experience with multiple people, and I know other people with best friends that they see and/or talk to all the time. Maybe I've been lucky and it's much rarer than I realized.

I'll have to think more about what other issue/need might be lurking under the surface for me...could very well be some deeper thing. [/quote]
