42 Signs Your Close Friend Is Actually Your Best Friend

Most, if not all of us would probably have a number of friends, whether they’re your classmates, officemates, partners, and so on. And among these friends, we’d have those who we truly are closer with than others. Some of them may be those friends we openly call each other as best friends, while others may be those we simply call as “close friends.” This is especially true for those people, who don’t really bother to label themselves, since they don’t find much significance in doing so anyway.

However, there are those cases that these “close friends” we have are practically our best friends. And we know it. You know it. It’s just that you never really bothered to talk about it. On the other hand, a few wonder how they can really tell if a friend is already a best friend to them. As such, we can find it a bit easier in doing so by considering a few things regarding our friendships that could signify the existence of a best friends relationship. Practically, there are a million possible signs that out there, but here are the most common ones I’ve got.
