In your own words, what's the difference between a best friend and a close friend?

I realize that maybe the concept of a best friend is too good to pass that I ended up forcing the label on someone who's glad to have it. For a while, things are great and I keep ignoring the signs that maybe it's settling.

How do I know this? It's quite simple really. Everyone seems to enjoy the side of me that farts sunshine and rainbows. But the real test begins when they annoy me enough that I feel like a volcano waiting to erupt. That's when playing the victim becomes the game for most. They care that your behavior hurt them. But they don't care that they contributed to you reaching your tolerance limit.

So I realized that being real pushes most people away. I'm taking my time with this truth.
