There’s no way to say this without sounding overly corny but: friends are the best. Life can be difficult and confusing, but good friends make it feel more manageable.
Friendship has very real health benefits. According to the American Psychological Association, people who have friends and close confidants are “more satisfied with their lives and less likely to suffer from depression”, as well as “less likely to die from all causes, including heart problems”.
So we want to hear from you about your best friends – you might call them your inner circle, platonic life partners or another term altogether.
Tell us about your best friends. How did you meet? How did you become close? What is your favorite thing about them?
