What Best Friendship Is Like Explained By Britney Spears Gifs

The Queen of Pop walks you through what best friendship is like

1. They're the first to know when something happens and vice versa

Whether it's something exciting, bad, or weird, you race to dial their number and they do the same

2. You have so many inside jokes that you can't really explain them anymore, they just are

And everybody else stares at you like you're crazy

3. They're the only person you can stand to talk on the phone with for a long time

And you'll often have cute little emojis next to their name and a special ringtone so you don't automatically hit "respond with text message"

4. Whenever people talk shit about your friend, you aren't afraid to fight to the death for them

And while they're trashtalking them, you're plotting how you'll tell your BFF so you can destroy them together

5. Their birthday is more important to you than your own

You plan out a super fun day for the two of you and them and have every detail sorted out to make the most of it

6. You can recall obscure facts about them quicker than you can basic facts about yourself

Yes, I know what outfit they wear every third Tuesday of the month and what their favorite type of red wine is and what their favorite piece of Russian literature is. But when's my birthday?

7. You discuss elaborate, unrealistic scenarios all the time

You already have planned a future in which your best friend is on the run with their illegitimate child from a crazy sheikh and are planning on letting them stay in your ski chalet where with your multi-millionaire partner and have expensive art hanging and live happily ever after

8. You have the same exact tastes in pretty much everything

If they're feeling it, you're feeling it. If they're not feeling it, you're not feeling it.

9. You give each other the most encouraging advice ever

Even if it's not the most elaborate and professional advice, it is the best

10. You could talk for hours on end about absolutely nothing and absolutely everything

You'll go from talking about how your day was, to the successes and failures of every economic system known to man, to Britney Spears, and everything in between. And that's just average small talk

11. You make them decide things for you when you can't make up your mind

You let your BFF determine everything from what you should eat for lunch to whether or not you should change your major or reroute your entire life

12. Seeing them or talking to them brightens your whole day

No matter how awful your day was, a talk with your BFF is a miracle cure

13. You gossip all the time about everything and everyone

And aren't afraid to be harsh

14. You trust them with all your secrets

Even the deepest, darkest ones

15. They know more about you than anyone ever probably should

And they still don't judge you for it!

16. They're the only person who can comfort you when you're sad

17. And the only person you'd ever let see you cry

18. You often worry that they'll make a new friend who's better than you

And develop a scenario in your head in which your BFF never ever talks to you again

19. But you know they'll always love you and you can always be yourself around them

No matter how ridiculous or flamboyant you are, they love you for it, and you love them for them

20. Because at the end of the day, they'll always be your BFF and you'll love them forever and ever

And they'll always love you too!
