AIBU to want a thread about good friendships?

[DaisyQuakeJohnson]

There are so many threads on here where posters can't talk to their friends or their 'friends' are horrible, grabby, unreliable. Or posters suggest ditching a friend of 30 years over one incident.
I thought it would be nice to have a thread about good friendships. I love my friends. Some I have had for 40+ years. Some I made through work. And even though most of us live in different countries now, they are just amazing, supportive people.
They've flown to comfort me when I lost a parent. They've invited me to stay with them when I've been struggling with my health. They've stayed with me when I moved to a new place and didn't know anyone. They are completely supportive and enthusiastic about any of my achievements. And I reciprocate. Our DCs play together when we're in the same country. Our DPs and DHs chat to each other when we all meet up.
I trust their judgement. If they tell me I'm being UR then I know I am.
I'm not saying I haven't had acquaintances who have floated in and out of my life over the years. I have. But I guess I just wanted to show and celebrate that there are good friendships. Anyone else?

yes, im with you on this
Good friendships are rare and when you have them, you need to cherish them.
I have close/best friends from all stages in my life, primary school, college and when i moved to the UK. I can phone any of them for support/guidance and they would help without a shadow of a doubt, and vice versa for them. I might not see most of them that often and we might not talk every day/week, but when we get together, we just have the best time. Lots of belly laughs and DMC's.
When i was younger, i always thought it was important to have a huge friendship circle, but as i grew older, i realised its too much hassle and I have kept my circle small 💝

I always find it very odd that so many of MN posters think friendships mean drama. " I can't be doing with all that drama" should be on a tshirt!

@JanisMoplin yes i often wonder this
Drama follows drama so I usually distance myself from people like that.... its easier. I know 2 people like that, life full of drama, they know how to stop the drama, but choose not too as it gives them a sense of purpose. They would class me as their "bestie" . I dont know why as we have pretty much never hung out on a 1:1 basis. Anyway, I do think the term best friend gets thrown around too easy these days

Yep - my uni friends are coming to mine for lunch today, 2 come every month with their kids, but today the one that lives far away is coming too. I can’t wait! We haven’t seen her for over 2 years (covid) but it will all be lovely and normal and great.

also have old school/work/family friends who are lovely and supportive and just great great friends (and I hope I am to all of them too)

I sometimes hear people talking about their friends and think “I wouldn’t treat an acquaintance like that - they’re not your friends!”

I feel very lucky to have so many amazing people in my life

Yes op good to have nice solid friendships. I treasure my friends. One did fizzle she always busy busy just me chasing and driving. Let that one go. But nice when u have good friends

YY to not having to talk every day or week but picking up where you left off when you do see or talk to each other again.
When I was younger, I used to try to get all my friends to be friends with each other but I realised as I got older that didn't necessarily work. Although my close friends (who came from different place or times in my life) have got to know each other at parties and events. But I value our individual friendships and we have different shared histories together.
