The person you are in front of your boss, your professors, or your co-workers just isn’t the same person you are with your best friend. In front of non-best friends, your behavior is (mostly) socially acceptable. If you’re weird, you’re only Jennifer Lawrence-weird, not Gary Busey-weird. You don’t dare share gross, personal details about your life, because, well, they’re personal. But that’s why you have your BFF: She’s the person who knows you so well she can tell when you’re only pretending to be OK. She knows when you secretly want to leave a party but won’t because you don’t want to seem lame (and then fakes food poisoning to get you both out of there). And most of all, she’s the person who knows just how crazy you are—and loves you for it.
