Is it normal to not have a best friend?

Not to say I don't have any friends or even close friends, but it's more so that I'd consider a very small, select group of maybe half a dozen people to be my closest friends with whom I share everything. There's not one of them that sticks out more than the others, they're each amazing in their own way. Additionally, I don't confess or talk about everything with a single one of them or all of them, I go to each for different issues. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing it... wrong? But I also feel like having a single person that you absolutely adore, tell everything to, is both potentially risky and exhausting. If I spend too much time with almost any single person, they become annoying. Is that normal?

    I don't know your age but I think best friends is something you only worry about when your younger. Having a few close friends is probably better because your not singling out one person you like more than the rest. Saying that someone is your best friend is like saying all your other friends are not as good as this one person. If it's a true statement and they are not living up to the same standard, they're probably not true friends at all. Then what you would call a "best friend" now you should probably call your "true friend"

    I dont have manny friends in general. And the friends that i do have are girls. And with those friends i either had a relationship or one time things. I dont really feel like im missing out. I can hang out with someone when i feel bored most of the time and otherwise i will just chill at home. Idk how you feel about it. Do you feel fine about it or do you feel like you are missing out on things you kinda actually want?

    No, if you don't have a best friend you're a loser and can't take your burdens on them.
