Maybe I’m wrong, but with time and experience, my understanding of friendship has changed.

I think I have learned a lot about friendship—from my school days to my time in Kota, and now in college—along with gaining a deeper understanding of human behavior and emotions. I have seen groups of friends who are always together, having fun, and I have also seen them backbiting about one another.

Friendship, I believe, is one of the most complex things to understand. So far, I have realized that a true friend is someone: with whom we can easily be vulnerable, without being judged, and with the assurance that our vulnerability will never be used against us. A true friend is also someone with minimal or no jealousy: someone who genuinely celebrates your success and stands by you in your weak times. And this should always come from both sides.

Long story short, a best friend is someone in whom you see a reflection of yourself.

I don't use that tag any more. We adults have some close friends, some ex-romantic partner friends, and more casual friends, and then lots of acquaintances.

But elevating one of them as "best friend" creates unnecessary expectations and sets up that friendship for failure, when all adults are busy with their lives, and also devalues ones all other friendships, IMO.

I think tags like "best friend" belong to junior school where they first originate, but are not meaningful in adult life friendships.

When ever I tag them, they move to next phase of life and we are not together due to some instances

This doesn’t exits it’s all delusional, better to live in delusion that you have best friends if you see through the things clearly no one exist apart from your parents . Brother and sister

There’s nothing that truly exists like a best friend, What we assume as a best friend depends on priorities and they change, and no one stays a BFF forever!
