[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Love the NYT article. I read it at the time it was published, and then again today with new eyes.

Yes it is jarring to experience these feelings.

I have a new perspective on friends from all of this. I liked part of the NYT article where someone said: "I take an extremely efficient approach and seek out like-minded folks to fill very specific needs....I have a cocktail friend and a book friend and a parenting friend and several basketball friends and a neighbor friend and a workout friend....It’s much easier filling in those gaps in my life than doing an exhaustive approach for a new friend."

At this stage, a traditional best friend is someone who happens to fit a few of those friend roles at the same time. I don't think I need that anymore.

Thanks all.[/quote]

YES OP, that's exactly what I meant. I had it in my head that I needed this BFF that was my go-to girl like in school and wasn't finding that person. I think it's pretty difficult if not impossible to meet someone like that as an adult. Finding people that fulfill each of your needs works much better. Good luck!![/quote]
