is it weird to feel weird about this?

Ranked! That is the exact word I would use.

If I like my friends I don't want to rate one above the other.

Ignore that illiterate ape in the first answer.

I don't think its weird at all, I feel the same way and I'm 19. The only best friend I have is my boyfriend and it took a long time for us to be where we are.. don't worry, girls are stupid. Just be glad you have more than one, cuz I have like.. 3 good girl friends. hah i dont even call them best friends either.

I go through the same thing sometimes. I think the awkwardness comes from the fact that you know you are faking an emotion. You're smiling because someone wants you to, not because you feel like it, so it feels unnatural and weird.

I would say that is completely normal. I too had a 'best friend' but never introduced him that way...."This is my friend" should be adequate enough. It shouldn't take long for others to notice who you get along best with. You shouldn't be forced into stating who is top on your list.

I understand how you feel. I kind of regret telling my friend that she's my "best" friend. I feel like now she expects more from me. More that I have in me to give.

no i have felt the same way. it isnt weird at all. i wouldnt want someone to do that to me and i wouldnt want to feel like i was being ranked also.

Yes, I feel the same..

I don't want to hurt any of my friends feelings.

no that's not weird, it's actually probably a better thing to do, so that everyone feels good. Go you!

no i was the same way my buddy did that a lot and felt weird bout it prbly cuz i didnt feel the same way at all

Hmm...well, in my group of friends, we all know that each of us have that one or two best friend(s). I have my two best friends, they have me and each other also. Another two friends have each other, ect. It's just kind of 'how the cookie crumbles' They know they're my best friends, and I know that I'm theirs
