10 People Reveal The Psycho Texts They've Exchanged With Their Best Friends

by Candice Jalili

If your co-worker asks you to help her finish a project, odds are you are going to enthusiastically respond, "Yeah, of course!" You might be thinking, "Go jump off a cliff, you useless waste of skin," but you're going to say, "Yeah, of course!"

If the person you are madly in love with tells you he's not looking for anything serious, you're going to say, "No, that's fine. I totally understand." You may be thinking, "BUT WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT TO MARRY ME RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW?" but you're going to say, "No, that's fine. I completely understand."

If that one random friend of a friend is telling you the most mind-numbingly boring story at a dinner party, you're going to sit there and politely pretend to listen. You may want to grab a plate and throw it at her face as you scream at the top of your lungs, "BE MORE INTERESTING," but you're not going to. No, you are just going to sit there and continue to listen politely.

You get the picture here. For the most part, we do a good job at hiding our crazy from the rest of the world. But the fact of the matter is, whether we like to admit it or not, we are all privately crazy. And you know what? All of those crazy thoughts, feelings and desires to shove plates in boring Kelly from the dinner party's face just have to be let out somewhere.

More often than not, the place they go to be aired out once and for all is in the texting thread with your very best friend.

Just take a minute right now to reflect on the absolutely nuts text messages you've sent to your best friend. Yeah, see? I'm right. Because the thing is, while you're saying, "Yes, of course," to your annoying co-worker, you're also texting your best friend, "NO. I CAN'T meet for drinks because this incompetent psychopath is making me stay late to help her with this STUPID project."

And your best friend is 100 percent on your side. Or maybe she tells you you're being insane and you need to cool it, but either way, at least you know she's not judging  you.

So, in honor of National Best Friend Day, I asked 10 different best friend duos to scroll through their conversations and anonymously share with us these hilarious, real-life screenshots of some of the most psychotic text messages exchanged between them:

Like this one best friend who wanted to be set up, but kind of wanted pizza more...

Or this one who was pretty gassy...

Or this one who decided to drunkenly adopt a pet frog without consulting her roomies...

Or this one who just realized alcohol may be the foundation of her newest relationship...

Or this one who realized some super random things remind her of her bestie...

Or this one who just really wanted some help getting her bowels moving...

Or this one who knew she was one Snapchat away from making her crush fall in love with her...

Or this one who is literally all of us when our best friend is busy working and we just want to share our random thoughts...

Or this one who had some pretty specific criteria for the men in her life...

Or these ones who just got a whole lot closer...

Or this one who trusted a fart she probably shouldn't have (again, apparently?)...

To all of our best friends: Thanks for loving us for the psychopaths that we are.
