The best or worst of friends

I have a best friend that I am sort of questioning. We can have a lot of heart to heart conversations and she is the person I open up to most about my suckish life. The truth is, we come from totally different places, she is in a safe loving enviornment with two parents, a large house in a safe neighborhood, and a decent amount of money, while I come from a broken home, bad neighborhood, and my mom is struggling to pay the rent. I feel like I don't fit in with her and her expensive clothes, yet she openly declares me to be my best friend and has stayed true to me throughout the years, it just feels like I'm not mentally connected to her, like when I look back on my life, I really don't see why she is there, it has kind of just become habit being with her.

Is It Normal?

  • I use to have the same problem, I even stop being friends with my friend 'cuz I felt like I was bringing her down or just complaining to her making her life miserble. U ever heard the saying "misery loves company?" she was my friend and I felt like if I was her true friend then I wouldn't b bringing my problems to her. We stop being friends but just recently (its been like 2 years so its not that recent) we became friends again and I realize she wasn't as open to me as I was to her. She just started opening up to me telling me her problems and we have SOOOOOOO MUCH in common. I was just like "OMG, y u never tell me this?" and she had felt like she couldn't complain becuz she felt her small problems was nothing compared to my big problems. But it really did help feeling like someone finally understood me. Her problems connected with mines and I was glad I wasn't alone. I felt bad becuz I realized I never wanted her to feel sad or feel my pain. I just wanted someone to talk to and lean on. We bring eachother up one step at a time and she always knows what to say to make me feel better. She is the best. The difference between me and u is that ur friend is prob a real life friend and my friend is only online. I felt lonely most of the time becuz I could never physically hang out with my friend. All we could do was talk being that it was an online base friendship. Y don't u just hang out with her? Stop thinking about ur problems and have fun!! U have this amazng friend n front of u,u can go to the movies, to the mall. It doesn't matter if u have money or not! U can sleep over her nice house! Have many many sleepovers. When ur around her try and forget ur problems. Stop being jealous and stop trying to steal her shine. Just like her u will have a day where u will shine as well and u wouldn't want someone to b up n ur face complaining and stealing ur happiness and shine, would u?

  • she wouldn't be your friend if she hadn't been with you all these years now would she? You seem to have a pretty solid friendship if that is the only issue. However, that doesn't mean what you think is unimportant. Talk with you friend, and when you are done I bet you 100 dollars that she'll just look at you funny and laugh as though you were telling a joke.

  • As long as your friend is sincere in caring for you it doesn't matter how much you have in common. If you believe you're just a pity case for your friend then maybe it isn't really a friendship but a charity project.
