The 17 So-called ‘bizarre’ Behaviors That Only Best Friends Do Together by uncjay(m): 12:43pm On Oct 10, 2015
Great girlfriends really are the best. They are never
the people you don’t want to see because you can
always be yourself with them, in whatever state you
are in. And the really, really great girls are those who will conspire in that fun with you — the ones who are down to get super crazy, wild and weird with you. No judgment, ever.

You know what we’re talking about. So, who’s feeling a little nutty? Here’s the so-called weird things that only gal pals do together.

1. Talk about who has added them on social media

People who are announcement-worthy: your crush,
any C-list celebrity like one of the “Rich Kids of
Beverly Hills” or higher, and anyone you yourself
would love to add but don’t have the balls to do so
(see: ex-boyfriend’s sister and that socialite-y girl
with good style).

Once you divulge the news, your trusty friends
promptly respond with a chorus of, “No way! That’s
awesome!” We just can’t help being soooo popular.

2. Hug when seeing each other

Like Europeans kissing each cheek, girls are big on
hugging. Not every embrace is of equal genuineness,
though. Here’s an overview of the levels of hugging.

1) The Unexpected Hug: You’re on the street, in your
zone and then — BAM! — it’s your bestie from
abroad. “Oh-em-gee, hey!”
… And cue hug.
2) The Friendly Hug: Despite just seeing your
girlfriend at dinner on Tuesday, you greet her with a
hello on Friday night as if it’s been months (because
you guys really do just love each other that much!).
3) The Awkward Hug: One of you goes in for it while
the other one ducks out and so continues until you
both half-ass it and finally walk away.

3. Use the same phrases to start sentences

“Honestly, I’m not gonna lie, I wanna let you know
that these expressions aren’t annoying until I find
myself using them, too, literally and like seriously.”

4. Ask each other if they need nose jobs

…Or boob jobs, or Botox, or to lose weight. We
already know the answer will be no, but that still
won’t stop us from inquiring. “Tell me honestly, I
won’t be offended.”

5. Discuss their dreams

Full disclosure: I actually really hate listening to
people share their dreams with me (unless, of
course, I play a starring role in it).
Nevertheless, we ladies love to dole out our snooze-
worthy stories and then dissect them together to
find deeper meaning. Freud would be proud.

6. Make extravagant exercise and diet plans that
result in getting drunk instead

This one is a real classic that gets about as far as
putting on the spandex. Sunday: Sit on the couch
and resolve to “get healthy.” Beginning of the week:
Get healthy. Weekend: Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball.”

7. Tell each other sad stories

It begins innocuously with, “Do you guys wanna hear something sad?” and then very quickly turns into a book club of women exchanging tragic tales.

No disrespect intended; we just can’t resist sharing a
hauntingly provocative story with our girlfriends…
not to bring the mood down, or anything.

8. Read horoscopes and apply it to their lives

Mercury in retrograde right now is seriously f*cking
sh*t up in this world. When you apologize for your
momentary flip-out, your friends find it totally
acceptable to blame it on the cosmic universe and
the fact that you’re a natural-born Leo.

9. Name things

You use two-word descriptors for every one of you
and your friend’s hookups (How else have you kept
them straight since freshman year?). Some gems:
“Sexy Loser,” “Ben Law” and “Miami Dan.”
It doesn’t stop there, either. We name things like
friend groups (“The Michigan Girls”), our apartments and even our friends who already have names.

10. Compare vagina hair

Sorry, not sorry and no judgment while we’re at it.
When it’s a close call and you’re tiptoeing the
grooming line, who else are you comfortable
conferring upon? See also: ordering boob sizes from
smallest to biggest by groping each other.

11. Chill in bed together while text messaging

Everyone piles into whoever has the fluffiest
princess bed — cell phones in hand — and
contemplates things like which characters you are
from “Girls” or “Sex and the City.”And even though
everyone in the group chat is currently present, you
guys still communicate via text message because…
emoticons.

12. Disguise talking smack as “venting”

Bitching is us talking about our day, true confessions are really intimate secrets and venting is basically surface level sh*t-talking, which we don’t actually believe but just need someone else to nod her head at. Anything that is of actual importance is reserved for in-depth and in-person conversations, preferably over brunch or cocktails or both.

13. Celebrate each other’s birthdays for three days

A lot goes into celebrating a bestie’s birthday.
There’s the special phone call and requisite drinking
the night before, then the big birthday dinner that
evening.

The next morning, there’s the birthday brunch recap, and by the time the weekend is over, you’re so sick of celebrating that you vow you won’t be a
Birthdayzilla come your turn.

…Yeah, right. You’ll not-so-slyly demand Instagram
collages in about a week.

14. Send 30 frantic text messages in a row

You just ran into your ex, Jennifer Aniston finally got married, you’re drunk wandering around the bar, or that guy at the gym you’ve been flirting with finally got your number.

Either way, you are blowing up the chat with more
caps lock and exclamation points than an angry Elite Daily comment section. The most absurd part:
Before your friend even gets to read them, you’re
calling her to verbally recap the whole thing, anyway.

15. Use movie quotes to explain how they’re feeling

When you told me I was trying to make “fetch”
happen, I thought that was way harsh, Tai.

16. Hold intense debates on which season is the
best, which hair color would be most flattering, and
if Tom Cruise is gay

Seriously, we are like a Women’s Conference on
Miscellaneous Thoughts when it comes to frivolous
dissections of all things girly. Once we’re all done
determining the advantages of buying wedges, it
always comes back to obsessing over how great we
are as a friend group.

17. Hypothesize the lives of people you don’t really
know but stalk on social media

After seeing your long-lost friend from summer
camp’s status update, you compile her life story
based on arbitrary tidbits from social media.
Congratulations, you and your friends are the real-
life equivalent of “Law and Order: SVU.”

One thing is for sure: No matter how many times
you and your girls obsess over it all, you’ll still never
get tired of stalking.
