HuffPost Good News Editors

Sure, having a whole gaggle of gal pals is great, but who’s the one you really want to hang with at the end of the day? No, rosé and sweatpants are not the answer. It’s your ride-or-die best friend. The person you can be the realest with. The person who’s there through work crises, relationship woes and Netflix binges — when all your other friends bail.

Here’s why a BFF trumps a whole group any day.

1
At 12:01 a.m. on your birthday, your best friend is the first to text.
