If it feels like you and your friends are the weirdest ever, never fear. Here are some surprising things we alldo with our besties that may seem strange, but are actually perfectly normal.
If you call each other to share what you had for lunch, or to wax poetic about something funny that happened at work, you're definitely not alone. "You want it to feel like your friend is there experiencing whatever it is with you," Donahue says. "In this case, no detail is too small."
While other people might think it's weird that you raid each other's closets or borrow each other's underwear, this is yet another totally normal part of friendship. "Nothing is off limits to what you can borrow," says Donahue. "What's yours is mine. You might even forget who was the original owner of the pair of jeans or blush brush."
If it ever feels like you two are one hang out away from becoming the same person, you're probably right. And that's perfectly OK. "It's not uncommon to be in sync, such as thinking about your friend, then receiving a text that very moment," Donahue says. It just shows how much you care about each other.
You might think a best friend has to take your side through thick and thin. And while that'd be nice, it's not always true.

"You may think you need to t...

"You are protecting the relationship and the information that your friend gives you about their thoughts and feelings," Derichs says. "It's their information to dole out, not yours. And that's not weird; those are healthy boundaries."
On more than one occasion, your friend has wanted to pop your pimple or pluck a stray hair. And that's always totally normal. "Basically you are grooming each other and that may seem weird but it's OK and actually a sign that you are paying attention to them," Derichs says. "Please remember though to be kind and sensitive. That is how good friends ...
Other friends may think it's weird that you two hold hands or sit on each other's laps. But it's up to you to decide what feels right. "Some people view certain levels of affection in friends as odd, but this is largely based on their own level of comfort with affection," psychologist Dr. Nikki Martinez tells Bustle. "There are best friends that hu...
When it comes to what's not normal in a friendship, it's really up to you and your friends to decide. Since there is no definition of a perfect friendship, Derichs tells me it's better to focus on what's "unhealthy" when figuring out if your relationship is OK. Here are some habits that might be crossing the line.
Of course it's OK for a friend to call if he or she needs help. But it's not so great if that's the only time they call, or if they're nowhere to be found when you have a problem. "If a person is not there when you are suffering or need support, he/she might not be a good friend," psychologist Kathryn Moore, PhD, of Providence Saint John's Child an...
