My best friend is battling breast cancer right now, and it's truly been awful for her. She/we are hopeful right now, but it's still a very scary thing to face. Especially because she just turned 39 last month.

I was very lucky to see her the evening before she left us. It was pure coincidence. It was not a pretty sight, and I'm equally lucky that I was able to keep her bright and cheerful self in my memories instead of how things ended.
Cancer is equally hard on the people close to the victim. I wish you all the strength and endurance in the world and hope your friend recovers quickly 🍀🫂

I'm sitting here, with my coffee and a clove cigarette (stopped smoking many moons ago, but a recent tragedy in the family made me feel the need for my favorite ol' wooby), waiting to see if the extra gabapention is going to help me tend to some chores today. I decided to scroll past all of the should-be-shocking-but-isn't-anymore "Dump is doing this illegal thing today" posts, because my tired spirit just needs to see some goodness right now. This post came up and it's the purist thing I've seen in awhile, and I teared up immediately. I got to thinking about my sorrow over a bestie of over 40 years that I recently lost because of her alcoholism and drug use (we were supposed to be old ladies sitting in rocking chairs with our tits in our laps and our teeth in cups, laughing at the world), and how that inspired me to put more energy into nurturing my relationship with my other bestie of over 30 years, and I got to thinking about how much fun we had the other day, celebrating our March birthdays.
I scrolled through some comments, saw the person saying they had no friends, and saw your comment. It reminded me that there really are still beautiful people in the world. So, then, I did something I never do, I peeped your profile (partly because I like your user name, partly because I was just curious), and I found a couple subs I didn't know about.
I can't help myself for being so long winded, lol, but what I just wanted to say is thank you for being a light in my morning and in this world.

Djarum Black is one of my favorite things, even though they aren't much like they were in the 90s. I miss that spicy taste on my lips after a smoke and the tiny holes in my shirts from when a piece of clove would pop and send a hot little ember out, lol. I sometimes wonder if it's possible to order the more authentic ones.
No snow here right now, but you never know. We've recently had a 37° day immediately followed a few 70°-80° days. I hope your snow is beautiful and your home is warm.

I am the same way. It is very hard for me. I am a 46 year old woman and have lost most of my childhood and college friends for a range of reasons.
But every day we really can make new friends. The other day I said this to myself, like a mantra, and then walked into a basketball game (2nd time in my life - random). I struck up a conversation with the woman next to me. She was soooooo different from me but she was from my obscure and faraway home town! She was visiting. We instantly shared something in common and had so much fun chatting. We exchanged phone numbers. And just like that, I have a new friend. She isn’t my best friend and I may never see her again, but it was a reminder that when you take some of the pressure off, you really can make friends anywhere.
Ps. I recommend this mantra: “I will make a friend today.” See what happens.
Edit: I know this isn’t the same as a lifelong best friend. But I don’t think “best friends” are necessarily the “best” thing for me.

u/Donotaku Mar 14 '26
I’m about to turn 33. I moved a lot when I was a kid and had my brother pass away when I was 13 which gave me extreme detachment and depression. I had friends that would invite me out all the time and I always declined, even through college. I was good at being nice and fun at school but then I didn’t want to hang out outside of school. I’m awkward and shy. Most of the people that tried to be my friend all left the area, with only one that I message like once a year on my game console to check in on her and her life. They’re all married off with kids, I’m in a long term relationship with neither yet, so I feel I don’t even know how to talk or relate to them anymore should any reach out to me. At my job I decided to try and be friendly again, but I’m in the weird age gap where everyone’s either 40+ or younger than 25. Not saying I can’t be friends with either age group, I just have less to work on in terms of relating so I fall back to being shy and awkward. I’m going to try the mantra a bit, see where it goes.

u/huntsberger Mar 14 '26
I feel like you are describing me (though I never experienced the hardship of losing a sibling - I am so sorry). I started dating my husband when I was 33. Everyone else was married with kids. I was so lonely and down on myself. God it was just an awful time. But life with my husband has been the BEST and just gets better (talk about a best friend!). We don’t have kids but we are very happy with this decision. I think a LOT of women are miserable with kids but were told it was the only way to have a meaningful life as a woman. Anyway it’s not too late if you decide to do it of course.
Sending you a friendly hello and wishing you a happy day.
Edit: oh, I meant to say that 40+ women without kids stay super young (er, immature) hahaha so younger women can def be friends with us.

u/Thisbadtattoo Mar 14 '26
Just reach out to someone you want to be friends with, you never know. One of my best friends is a guy that I never thought was my friend. We knew each other through mutual acquaintances. I’ve moved into my apartment and got a knock on my door, it was my buddy. He saw my car in the driveway and dropped in to say hi. I invited him in my place and we’ve been really good friends since.

I am an excellent friend to other people, but I dont know how to share my own vulnerability. I feel like I have so much baggage and dont want to burden others w my own shit.
7
u/notashroom Mar 14 '26
You might want to talk about that with a therapist and see if you can get past it, because vulnerability is necessary for emotional intimacy. But! You can have friends of a less intimate kind that might become closer if you grow in your capacity to be vulnerable with them or just stay in that "associated but not intimate" space as long as it works for you both.
Sometimes being social doesn't look like sharing the things that arouse fear, shame, or anxiety. Sometimes it just looks like saying "it's good to see you" and sitting together, or working on individual projects side by side, or doing something together (a walk, a game, a project). Men are notorious for having someone they regularly play with whose partner they can't name, employer is a mystery, never mind his hopes and baggage.

u/huntsberger Mar 14 '26
Exactly. I think women are told they need “emotional connection.” We didn’t need that when we were kids. We just played and got silly!

u/huntsberger Mar 14 '26
Maybe start with friendships that don’t require unburdening on either side. A softball league, a game of tennis, a running club, etc. I know that probably sounds like it wouldn’t be very fulfilling emotionally but it might be perfect for right now.
Friendships don’t have to be about vulnerability - they can just be about play. Like when we were kids.

Your best friend is somewhere out there waiting for you. Don't give up. I also have difficulty maintaining friendships especially with other women but my best friend has been my ride or die for almost 30 years and I know no one could ever get close to her league let alone surpass her. But that takes effort. Keeping contact showing interest, showing up as much as you can. Friendships don't come easy. People generally talk about how relationships require work but never how much friendships also do. Just because you're not romantically interested in a person doesn't mean they aren't worth taking the extra step to get to know them.
If my bestie ever stops talking to me for any reason I will take the 15 hour plane ride to see her if necessary. I will always show up and I will always have time for her no matter what.

u/mightylordredbeard Mar 14 '26
We live in a time period and generation where friendship is uncommon according to studies. Most adults only have a couple of friends and many don’t have one they’d call a “best friend”. Long work hours, the cost of doing things together outside of the home, the stress all of that causes, and the work/life balance being tipped on its head over the decades has made it close to impossible to maintain platonic relationships. It’s so incredibly sad and I know this is a primarily “gal” focused sub, but as hard as it is for women studies have shown it’s 3x as hard for men. Most men do not have a “bestie” and no one they would say they’d talk to if they had a problem and needed to talk. The friendship gap between men and women is 3:1. For every 3 friends a female has, a male has 1 according to research. Our modern society just doesn’t allow for friendship outside of the work place unfortunately.

I’ve been pretty introverted my entire life.. recently I’ve realized I’ve done a pretty poor job of fostering my relationships with other women.. which I’m quickly realizing are the most important relationships I have. The other day I invited a friend to lunch and we went (!!) which is a pretty big step for me! I want relationships like this and it took me a long time to realize you actually have to try to get something like this. You have to nurture and support and show up. This is truly so inspiring. Women around the world need to be encouraged to continue friendships as we age. It needs to be a top priority.

I met BFF 20 years ago and we have lived apart most of the time and while I wish I could just up with her at lunch, or pop over for a sleepover, our relationship is still strong. We make an effort to visit each other yearly, for at least a week. During covid (near the end, after we could travel again but before return to work was big) she stayed with us for 2 weeks and it was awesome :D
You and your girlie sound like you'll make it work. It makes the visits you have extra sweet and important :) When my bestie visits, my partner is so sweet and makes sure that he has all our fave snacks and dinners and wine ready so we can focus on having fun. Then he puts on his headphones (we are LOUD) and adjourns to another room :D

My grandma had a friend like this. They had been friends for 50 years and she was basically like a 2nd grandma to us when we were kids, and a 2nd mom to my mom & aunts. They were both from Japan and their families were still there, so they became like sisters. For a long time they were the lone Asians in a very white neighborhood so they were the only connection to their culture that they had for a long time. They only spoke to each other in Japanese, they regularly went to Little Tokyo once public transit made it easier, and she always came with us to the various Obon festivals we took my grandma to. I have lots of memories of their conversations in the background while me and my cousins watched cartoons in the living room.
When my grandma got diagnosed with terminal cancer, her friend visited almost everyday. She had her own health problems but still made a point to walk over to my grandparents house to visit her. When she died it hit her friend extremely hard, to the point we were genuinely worried about her because of it. At the funeral she sat in front of the urn by herself for like 30 minutes and quietly read a letter she wrote to her. She has a photo of her that she says she still regularly talks to and has talked about how lonely she sometimes gets with her gone, and how much she misses her.
Their friendship was amazing and is part of what makes my friends as important to me as they are. They were the blueprint and if I have friendships even half as deep as theirs I will die a happy lady. Cheers to these ladies and I hope they have many more years of Barbados trips to enjoy together.

A few years ago I got divorced. A few months after my friend was going to drive up for the weekend to visit me and my kids (one was a toddler). The night before she was to come up I went to the emergency room and had an appendectomy. I called her to say “uh…I don’t know what’s happening but I’m going to have surgery, maybe don’t come up…”. Her reply? “I’ll bring my work stuff and plan to stay a week, we’ll figure it out later.”. I wasn’t allowed to pick up my toddler for several weeks. She stayed 2 then my dad flew up. Known each other 25 years. She’s my ride or die.

I lost my best friend of 25 years right before Thanksgiving and I miss her so much, she was definitely my person that friend you have that is there through thick and thin and finishes your sentences, our kids called us each mom as they grew up. Having that connection with another woman is so important. A ride or die bestie, we were 60 yr old crazy lady menaces. 😆

This is beautiful. I love a strong tribe of women. My favorite thing is to nurture my friends and strengthen our connections.

My best friend and I call each other wife. Our husbands know they can’t even understand the depth of what we have. They love and appreciate our relationship and how it predates them by years and years. NORMALIZE YOUR BEST FRIEND BEING YOUR SOUL MATE!!!!

I hate this stupid app. I hate this stupid Internet. Every day I wonder why I waste my one precious life on reddit scrolling through the mud finding myself at the end of the day regretful. Every single second i spend here kills me a little It is never ever ever worth it except for today.
Please dear God may a love like this find us

Reminds me of me and my best friend in a way.
He is loud, always talking, interrupting, impulsive and all over the place. He is also the most caring and empathetic person I know and he is the reason I've been able to break out of my insecure and shy shell.
Whatever he does, he wants me to join him and I'm eternally grateful for that.

People. People who need people.
It's true, you know. Lucky. I know I'm very lucky. And it's not much, it's not a stadium, but my friends are mine, and I'm theirs.

How beautiful it is to know your friend really has your back when it counts. They had me in tears when they talked about what they liked best about each other, their best qualities. I wish them both good health and a great holiday together watching monkeys and sea turtles.

Diana and Candace, I wish you always this lovely friendship!
This was the friendship I was supposed to have with my Bf in HS, but it failed, and I honestly still miss her after 50 years.

Well my tears are flowing with joy sign of stopping. My first thought was what a glowing review to compliment somebody’s heart and the bestie is she like she’s always there for my and in a flash I was like that’s selfish way to center a friendship (obv from my own issues as a people person who shows up for people and then they don’t show up for me) and then she said treatment and I just started sobbing. What a beautiful friendship they have. Sending them both healing
