I had more memories come up about the person I thought was/wanted to be my ever best friend.

So in the distant past she did say I was a best friend of hers.

But there are words and then there are actions.

What actions need to be there to call it a real friendship beyond just words? (There could be a verbal aspect of some actions of course but you get what I mean)

That is my question.

I do have my own opinion on this but I'm interested in hearing from others on the forum.



PS: She did tell me about how her absolute best friend when she was younger (she didn't know me yet) betrayed her and how she got mistrustful after that. There was a guy who later became her longest romantic relationship. But before she first got together with the guy, the guy talked with this best friend to get to know more about her. And then her best friend back then, she basically told this guy something like "forget her, she sucks, go out with me instead lol". They'd been friends/best friends for 20 years at that point....
