The Psychology of People Who Don't Have a Best Friend

The Psychology of People Who Don't Have a Best Friend

Everyone talks about their best friend. That person they've known since childhood. The one they call for everything. It's treated as a given—a normal part of being human.
But what if you've never had one? Not because you're broken. Not because you push people away. Not because you're incapable of deep connection. But because something about the concept of a best friend has never quite made sense to you.
You've had close people. People you cared about. But that singular, all-consuming, tell-them-everything bond? You've never felt it. And maybe you've spent years wondering if that makes you different. If that makes you cold. If that means you're missing something essential.
Here's what nobody tells you: some people aren't wired for best friends. And it's not a deficit. It's a different way of connecting.
If you've never had a best friend, you probably have traits that make the traditional model of friendship feel limiting, exhausting, or fundamentally wrong for you.
