Should I consider her my best friend…? We’re both awkward and mainly quiet people… but.. there’s still this tension at times. One that I don’t know how to talk about with her, I think maybe she doesn’t know how to talk about it with me either. But we want to be friends forever, and we know some of our interests.. but it’s so strange. It’s like, we’re holding things back or something.. because I fear we’ve never laughed till our lungs feel like exploding. We get this slightly awkward silence sometimes.. She has a strict mom that like, idk, blunt, criticizes in a way she thinks she doesn’t which makes it awkward.. her dad is divorced and she doesn’t want to talk to him despite her two younger sisters that do. (They go over to their dad’s house, my best friend doesn’t.) idk what this does for anything but yeah. There’s more to it, but I feel like we’re just hiding this other stuff from each other.. just, holding back I guess.
