How did you meet your best friend?
Hey everyone!
Happy Friendship Week!! I really love that 7 Cups is doing this and I encourage you all to give gifts here :)
I started this thread because I thought it would be fun to share how you met your best friend!
I met mine after a mutual friend at introduced us at a house show and we've been "bffs" for 7 years now. Although we don't live near each other anymore, I know she is always there for me and vice versa. People can come into your life at any time and change everything; I am so glad to have met someone who I can call my best friend.

**Also, for people who may just not have met their best friend yet, (there's 7 billion people on Earth so sometimes it takes a while
) check out this article for tips on how to make new friends! 
Thanks for the article. I tend to find things like this thread actually depressing, as they make me think I don't have friends at all. From the article you linked there are 3 types of friends, and I tend to have only the first and third types - and of the third type, it's all basically people I know online through places like this.
You're welcome. I definitely don't mean for this thread to make anyone feel bad. I have very few friends, honestly, so I meant for this to be a place where everyone can celebrate Friendship Week by sharing a story, even if they do have very few friends. Or even just to talk about a good way to meet new people! Thank you for commenting :)
I understand, and I'm sorry to have the first reply be a downer!
I met her in a eating disorders chat. We used to support each other, now she has a baby and I'm alone in the fight.
You're not alone! Everyone here at 7 Cups is here for you, including me. :) I understand how you feel though; when people exit our lives sometimes it can be hard.
I have no friends , none in person anyways . I haven't had one in over a year. Makes me feel so lonely
We are here for you on 7 Cups :) Online friends are friends too! Check out the article I linked about meeting/making friends. Or if you would like to talk sometime, feel free to send me a message.
My best friend is also my ex, We were together for 3years and made a clean break with meny tears but when we started talking again we came closer then ever. She really helped me get over both her and other hard times.
I met my best friend online!
We're both writers, so we met on Wattpad when I posted a thread suggesting that other writers make Twitter accounts for their original characters to develop them. She was one of the people who replied to the thread and made a Twitter for her character. For months, I didn't even know who she was out of character! Soon enough, we began to message as just ourselves and things clicked instantly. Now, two years later, she's like a sister to me. We Skype and must text 24/7. Next year, we're going to try and be roommates :) I love her so much <3
Well I have a few..My first one I have known for around 12 years. Met her in fourth grade. The second of my best friends I met in high school. We were in the same Spanish class together and while we walked as a class to get our textbooks, she turned in the hallway towards me and greeted me. My third bestie I ended up meeting through my sister. :)
Well my absolute best friend would be my cousin. We are the same age and we obviously met back in diapers. Lived at my grandmothers place together. My other best friend I met in second grade, we were in the same class and say beside each other. She eventually introduced me to my newest best friend in eighth grade. She brought her over to her house and we hung out in the basement and walked around our small town together. After that summer we got even closer when we attended high school together. The rest is history!
I've known my best friend for about 8 years. We met because his parents are friends with my mom. We had a party one day so my mom invited them. The other kids there weren't really playing with him so I did and we instantly became friends.
I met my best friends in school and we still the best!!
I met my best friend in college. He had just broken up with my friend and had left his leather jacket with her. She demanded that i return it to him because she didn't want to see him. So there our friendship began 10 years ago.
