Normal in the USA maybe but certainly not healthy to not have at least 2-3 really good friends.

Yeah that's what I have and what I see amongst friends on Facebook. They are the same 2 or 3 people you remember them hanging out with since childhood too. 😂

Yes

I have great friends, but my husband is the closest thing I have to a best friend. There’s no one that I talk to all the time and tell my deepest darkest secrets to outside of my husband (and therapist). I think he probably still would’ve been my bff even if he wasn’t my husband but he’s fine af so I had to lock it down babyyyyy

I will say No. It helps to have close friend where you can confide, discuss and take opinions freely without hesitation and knowing it will not be gossiped. It’s one of the priceless asset.

I’d say yes.

I’m married and we’ve known each other for 15 years and plenty of arguments in between! I thought, for a long time, that I was missing something by not having a best friend. I’ve since accepted my reality and am content with it.

Other than that, I have what are really, at their core, acquaintances. There’s no random texts. Maybe socializing at work some. I try to remember their dogs’ names or kids’ but that’s just so I can sell myself as more normal.

I also try to be social (and practice my social interactions and small talk) though I find it exhausting. Single serving friends are what I’m looking for.

No, it’s illegal

Is it normal not to have friends ?

Does it bother you? It doesn’t matter what people say is normal or not. It’s what you need in your life.

Define best friend
