With our usage of social media at an all-time high, the sheer number of friends we have is a different story altogether. And all of these friends fall under certain categories- school friends, college friends, friends from work etc. Each set of friends are important to us and have an indirect yet integral impact on our lives. There are however, very few persons who we can call as our best friend(s). There are people though, who are still looking out for a friend they could proudly show to the world as their bestie.
And while people do work hard to find a best friend, we will tell why it is perfectly okay to not have a bestie in your life-
You Are The Owner Of Your Opinions

You might feel the absence of a best friend a bit depressing, but the truth is you are someone who is truly independent and free of other’s opinions. You never had to rely on a best friend to tell you about a person you fell in love with, and you live as per your terms and wishes. There is no regret regarding the choices you have made in your life.
Only You Are Responsible For Your Achievements

While having someone to support you is never a bad thing, winning and achieving without a best friend builds a sense of victory that is much more profound than what you might have felt WITH a best friend beside you. All your hard work and failure and the subsequent success is credited to you and no one else.
You Are More Emotionally Secure

Nobody says no to some amount of limelight. With a best friend, even those accolades have to be shared, which further may lead to insecurity. Being without a bestie makes you genuinely happy for your friends, but there is nothing like insecurity from your end due to the lack of a deep emotional attachment.
You Don’t Gauge Yourself Through Any Benchmark
A best friend will always act as your peer, and more often than not, you will be judging your own accomplishments with those of your bestie. Staying away from the need of a best friend will open up the door to unlimited opportunities, because you don’t have to live by the benchmarks set by other people.
An Absolute Absence Of Uncalled For Drama

If you are without a best friend, you are totally sure of one thing. There is simply no unnecessary drama in your life. You do not have to acknowledge someone’s existence every single time you meet them. Those small fights with your best friend have a lot of implications on your life emotionally, rendering you incapable of focusing on other important things.
If you are without a best friend, believe us it’s actually not that bad. In fact, it has a lot of positives too.
