There’s a very good reason why women have so many ‘best’ friends ✒️ RebeccaCNReid for ipaperviews
‘I need multiple best friends because, like everyone, I am multiple people,’ writes Rebecca Reid
“You do realise that you describe all of your friends as your best friend? Do you actually know what ‘best’ means?” Back in the noughties, websites like MySpace and Bebo thought it would be fun to ruin teenage lives by making us rank our friends via our top eight onor top 16 on Bebo. It became a sort of adolescent formalisation of the childhood habit of ranking your first best friend, second best friend, third best friend, and so on.
Without wanting to sound like a man at an east London dinner party who is trying to convince you that, it does seem a bit mad that we are so fixated on trying to have all of our emotional needs met by the smallest possible number of people, or indeed one “best” person. I need multiple best friends because, like everyone, I am multiple people. . And I love that they all bring different magic to my life.
