Recently I've been trying to get closer to people, but I don't exactly know how. I thought maybe it's better to know what a close friend/bestie actually is, and then work my way up to building that relationship with people.
What do you consider a close friend? I have a close friend who I can share my feelings with, but the thing is I don't know how we built this kind of friendship. First, how do you define a really close friend? Someone who you talk with everyday? I don't think so. Someone you can share your deep feeling? Maybe. Someone who you can share you secrets with? Probably. Someone who you feel safe around and can share your vulnerabilities with? Probably. Someone who you know wouldn't talk behind your back and wants the best for you? I think it's better.
And after defining what a close friend is, how do you build that kind of relationship with someone? Do you suddenly share your vulnerabilities with them? Do you talk with them every day? Or you have to befriend a lot of people and see whether your friendship would lead to being really close friends and let it just happen? What do you think?
