It is difficult to determine who your best friends are more so if you have a large circle of friends. It is during rough times that you discover your best friends; now, instead of waiting for such a rough moment, do the assessment in advance. Firstly, think of the time each friend spends with you and who creates time off their busy schedule to be with you. Friends who are too busy when you need them most are not real. Again, if you are the one who always requests them to spend time with you, then that person will never be your best friend.

Apart from the time spent, think of the activities and discussions you conduct while together. Do these friends help you develop in any way? Do they take time to listen to you instead of talking endlessly about them? Do they engage in fun activities with you only when it is convenient for them? Your answers will determine whether you really have best friends.

Finally, ask yourself whether you trust them with your darkest and deepest secrets. If you are not comfortable disclosing your secrets, fears and dreams to them, then you have to select a new breed of friends.

Good luck with your search for best friends!
