They say friends are the family you can choose. Your close friends might not be related to you by blood, but they surely have your best interests at heart and sometimes know things about you your family is better off not knowing. Some people think friends should have shared hobbies, but while having Harry Potter marathons together is surely a nice bonus to the relationship, it is more important to have common values and respect for each other.
Your friend circle is formed at different stages of life: some might come from as far back as elementary school, while others you might meet at a local pub after you’ve just moved into a new neighborhood. As long as you feel comfortable around each other and know you won’t be judged for who you are, nothing else matters.
And of course, what are BFFs for if not to share some jokes? With them, you can joke about almost everything. You can even go on Twitter and share some funny tweets about friends and situations you’ve been through together.
Unfortunately, not all friendship tweets are happy ones. Sometimes you realize that somebody you thought to be your friend is the exact opposite. That’s why, sad as it may be, Twitter quotes about fake friends also exist. We can all just hope we have to write as few of those in our life as possible.
We have collected some best friend Twitter quotes you can share with your gang. And don’t forget to tell us in the comments what friendship tweets you have written about yourself and your friends.

LOL I have a friend who will go years not contacting someone then sending them a random message out of the blue, as if it was just a few hours ago they had a conversation. I like this kind of person. I've had friends I had to cut out because they took issue with me not replying to them right away when I'm busy doing something else. It is disrespectful to expect people to drop their lives for a text that isn't going anywhere.

This is me as a friend. If I believe we're true friends be prepared to not hear from me everyday. I don't always have time to chat, but when I check in it's because I care and want to know how you are. I had a friend who did not understand this and would get super angry if I wasn't immediately available. So,he basically took himself out of our friendship, because he didnt believe friends didn't love each other... Or have inappropriate jokes with each other.

FYI, "LEGO Joseph Smith" is DezNat, aka Deseret Nationalist, aka a Latter-day Saint nationalist, aka part of a group that posts "jokes" about defending the faith by stabbing people who leave with Bowie knives (remember "blood atonement" from Under the Banner of Heaven? Yeah, they joke about blood atonement and then when anyone calls them out on it they pretend to know nothing about it). Also they make "jokes" about defending BYU by shooting LGBT+ advocates with muskets. So yeah, it's a funny joke, but it's from someone who's made "jokes" that a lot of queer ExMormons like myself aren't laughing at. And it sure as hell doesn't "celebrate the wonderful people in [my] life," like the title suggests, because I have to protect the wonderful people in my life from DezNats and other white supremacists.

My best friend would be rooting for me regardless of whether I’m right or wrong, unless it’s something that’s about to get me maimed for life. He she they won’t bother fixing my grammar unless it’s for an interview, my appearance because I do me, my bad breath unless he’s about to pass out, my driving because I won’t kill us, my cooking because I don’t mean to kill us, my stupid ideas because I haven’t killed us, my picking fights in the surf lineup because I’m wrong but he’s on my side and so are my 10 other best friends there. It doesn’t matter if we don’t talk for days. We swap memes and pick up where we left off💕.

While I entirely agree with this, there is something to be said for if you're angry about something and you know you have that kind of best friend who doesn't even need to hear more, but will be angry with you and it helps to calm you down just by being 'on your side'. If she comes to me and says 'I broke up with John and we hate him now' I won't hesitate to agree with her. She doesn't have to say what happened. I'm her friend and I'm there for her. I had a guy friend named Danny who was just a big meathead but was the best guy and was my roommate years ago. This neighbor of ours was being a jerk to me. He came to our door once and threatened me over a parking space. I got nervous and called Danny out of his room and was like, "Danny knows nothing about you or the situation but I promise you if you threaten me again, I'll have him beat the c**p out of you and I don't even need to tell him why." Danny just nodded. The guy just swore and left but I had no other problems w/him, lol.

I felt betrayed the first time a friend told me I was wrong. I turned to her for support and she told me off. It was the best thing she ever did for me. It took me a couple of minutes to snap out of it and start to truly discuss the matter, but it did help me so much.

Ah, yes I'm also this friend. Lost someone as a friend because I could no longer listen to them whine about how unfair her life was because she was being forced to grow up and make a decision.

I very much disagree with this. How many of your friends from high school and college and past jobs do you still talk to? That doesn't mean they were never your friends, your paths just crossed for a while, you enjoyed the time together, and then your paths diverged. That's a perfectly valid and normal form of friendship.
Phil Vaive 3 years ago
And as for "losing" friends, I have completely removed two people from my life who became incredibly awful for me to be around. I never "undercover hated" them, but found that friend A's anger, and friend B's manipulative use of her mental illness as a way to control me were incredibly unhealthy for me. Breaking up with friends is perfectly okay, and again, doesn't mean you weren't friends to begin with.

My closest guy friends know I'm bipolar and don't judge me for it. I've literally broken down and cried my eyes out at a bar and all they do is give me love and no judgement.
Wysteria_Rose 3 years ago
YES. My best friend and I are comfortable saying "I really need to go home and be alone for a bit" or "I don't have enough emotional energy to do that." It's amazing because a lot of the time the other person feels the exact same way and it's a huge relief for us both!

Crows will tell their entire murder which people are nice and who are mean so that they all know who to be pleasant to and who not to be. I think Grackles are the same way because I've had some pretty amazing interactions with them.

I also love talking about the tv shows we both enjoy and the what's going on at work, because we are in the same field.

If you drive, maybe travel a town over? I’ve always had luck with library folks…being a reader is an automatic thing in common. Maybe volunteer? A really good starting point is the small area newspaper. If you’ve got one, it can be full of good ideas- book clubs, gardening club, game club, etc. I hope you can get something going for yourself!

I could not agree more about there being things to do that are not physical. I'm overweight and I lost a lot of friendships because I was self-conscious about being able to keep up. It's hard to explain how certain things are uncomfortable because you don't want to complain about something that is your own fault. But they didn't have to think about the things I had to think about. Like will I fit in the seats? Am I going to get overheated from walking around? Will I get embarrassed because I'm sweating and spraying extra deodorant between my legs isn't enough to stop the chaffing? Will I be able to climb the stairs or do the activity everyone else's doing because I don't want to make others have to slow down for me. It's hard with active friends. And that forces them to exclude you- not with mean intentions, just unavoidably- because they know you can't do certain things. Inevitably that leads to a drop off in connectivity with them. So try to just do a game night once in a while!

We don't judge each other, but we do tell each other what an arsehole we have been if we screw up, then go and have beer and talk.

I have just been visiting my parents. My dad is in his late 70's, he has had his best friend since he was 15 - and he came to visit at the same time. Listening to them insulting each other the same way I have heard all my life filled me with such happiness. All my life too, our families drop everything to help each other - and celebrate wins together too. My husband and I were out with this friends youngest son, and my husband introduce him as 'my wife's best friend ' - for a minute, we both frowned, as we grew up behaving like family.

Hope you all can keep the momentum. I have a few friends where our friendship crosses over several decades. We all live in different parts of the country but never fail to watch out for one another. We talk several times daily and more if one of us is having a crisis of some sort and they need reassurance that they are making the correct decisions for them.

My wife was initially jealous but now accepts I love her as part of my family (whom I also lost 10 years ago with the same news)

I didn't say anything, but she gave him in school detention anyways. At one point I had to go to another class which passes the room for in school detention, and he was in there. I laughed so hard.

I guess you’re right…if you know FOR SURE that person is your best friend. I thought that but when I went through a divorce I found out through my ex that he had given her our beautiful clawfoot dining table. I had nothing when I left except for the most important-our boys. When I asked if I could have the table she blew up at me. She told me everything she thought was wrong with me. I cried it was so hurtful and all she said was “Its the truth and I always tell the truth”. I didn’t get the table and haven’t talked with her in almost 40 years.

I think a fair amount of my friendships started out like this. I'm quite a good listener, and if anyone needs a scream or rant or someone to sit in a dark spot with them I will. If I need to do it back, and they listen to me - that's a friendship. One time, I was in a really dark place and phoned a friend I hadn't spoken to for a while but had listened to her many many times. She hung up. 15 minutes later, there she was on my door step with a bottle of wine, she hadn't even taken time to change out of her PJ's and said "ok, carry on, I'm listening. That is the type of friend you keep forever.
