Best friends talk about everything. There’s nothing you have to hide from your biffle. Dirty laundry and everything, your best friend will always be by your side.
…At least that’s what we always hear.
But there are some things that we just don’t want to talk about, even with our bestie. Some secrets are best kept bottled up inside, tucked away into a dark corner in our minds and never spoken of again, right? Riiiiight.
So what are these things that we never want to share, you might ask? You know what I’m talking about. Click through for some reassurance on the secrets that make you squirm just thinking about ever mentioning to your best friend.

These are all pretty true. Except for the “Good news about your life when she’s feeling down,” because sometimes it’s too good not to tell her.

Most of those things on that list are things you should be able to discuss with your best friend. My friends and have talked about all of those things. The only one I agree with is hooking up with her ex. If you are hooking up with her ex, you are likely not really a friend. If I am going to jeopardize a friendship, it certainly wouldn’t be over a hook up. Those are a dime a dozen , while true friendship is not.

I disagree. Every single one of these things, I thought to myself “I’ve told my best friend that” or something like that. Seriously, my best friend and I have no secrets. I’ve told her every single thing that I didn’t tell anyone else. When I had doubts about my relationship, when I found my biological family and was disgusted with myself because I thought my brother was hot, whenever I have weird body shit going down (periods, poop, hairs, boobs, etc)….everything. She knows every dirty detail about me, including the weird shit my ex used to say during sex and the fact that one of my ex boyfriends writes poems about having sex with chickens on myspace.
Obviously those things aren’t THAT big of a deal because I’m comfortable sharing them online, but it’s just to show that my best friend and I have no barriers, no walls, and no zone of discomfort.
Oh and I’d just like to add that I’ve never hooked up with one of her exes, but if I was ever interested in one of them (which I wouldn’t be) I would have no problem talking to her about it.

I don’t really think those things were that bad, I’d tell my BFF them anyway (or already have). And especially the whole not telling her good news when she’s ‘down’.. that just immature of the your friend if they can’t be happy for you when you’re genuinely happy.

I tell everyone everything.
Especially the internet.

Some of those things I don’t tell my best friend even if I haven’t done it. Though I will tell her things that she ought to know like if her boyfriend was seen with another girl. I just wouldn’t tell my bestie about my sexual fantasies. I’ve always been a kind of private person on that.

I NEVER tell my boyfriend when I need to poop, the last time I pooped, how much I poop, if I need to fart….It is a known fact to my boyfriend that
his girlfriend doesn’t poop
Yet, my best friend can know down to the littlest detail, such as consistency…..LOL

Lol. I was talking to my close friend about being aggravated that my laptop needs a new battery (and I’m having a rough time overall, not having a job or money PLUS my car is out of commission), all of which she knows. So she tells me right after I was venting about the laptop battery, oh well crap, this isn’t the right time to say this, but my boyfriend might have a new job!!
Um, okay. SO WHY WOULD YOU SAY IT? Just bitching it out, nbd.

@aeriebaby88@xanga - LOOOOL…. my best friend and boyfriend tells me those things… which in turn makes me tell them too.

I’ve never been the type to have many friends in the first place so whoever happens to become a best friend of mine is going to know almost as much as my boyfriend knows about me. Which is pretty much everything. If I think they are going to misunderstand me often and judge me then it just can’t work. I have to be able to have someone besides my boyfriend to tell my deepest, darkest thoughts to or I’d go crazy. My bff Melissa and I have been friends since we were teenagers(8 years ago) and we have gone through a lot of shit together and we even dated at one point. So she is a lot more then just someone to hang out with or share interests. We both give each other advice on what clothing looks best on each other without a cat fight breaking out. We can talk about our weirdest sexual fantasies and girly problems, nothing is taboo. And I don’t have to worry about telling her about my great day if she had a bad one because she isn’t a jealous, insecure bitch.
