My friends...more in common. I was always the "weird" one in my family, so I never got really close to them. Also, not so many people in my biological family, as I am an only child...some cousins, aunts, my parents have died, so that is about it.
Your friends are the family that you get to choose. My mom used to always tell me that. But yeah, in some ways my friends are closer to me than my family but I think that your family should be more important. Family is there for you no matter what and know everything about you (even all the bad shit) and they still love you. Or at least my family does. And I love them to death for that. But yes, I do have some friends that are as close as family cuz they have showed the same support and love to me like another family member would. Im very blessed when it comes to having amazing family and friends.
My friends are a lot closer to me than my family, they know all about me and I know they will always be there for me. So yeah, I consider them to be my family.
There are some secrets much better kept by friends than by family. It is very hard to tell my family some things that I can easily tell my friends. I have, however, been blessed by a very loving family who I am very close to. Or at least immediate family, I really dislike most of my cousins, and some of my aunts and uncles. I can imagine leaving my friends forever(under the assumption I can make more ) but not possibly my family.
My friends were definately closer than my family before i had kids--then all of my friends instantly disappeared, and i started to understand where my parents and other family members were coming from on different issues, so now there's no contest, it's family all the way.
My friends... but only just. I would say my mum, my two best friends and my boyfriend are probably the closest 4 people to me. It really depends on the issue I guess... friends are better than family for some things but then again, my family will always be there for my whatever happens.
much closer with my friends than family. people shouldnt like other people just because they're family members but because they truly do like them. my parents just never gave me a reason to like them at all
depends on what you mean by "family"... My best friend is much closer to me than my bio sister, by a long long long shot! But nobody is closer to me than my husband and my kids... the rest of my family? They're all nuts, and most of them only call when they want something.
I would say im much closer to my friends than witth my sister and brother, but im pretty close with my parents and know they will always be there for me.
I would say it depends. My family have always been very supportive to me through some extremely difficult times, and that's not something easily pushed aside. However, I do have different lifestyle and values from most of my family, so sometimes close friends are better at helping with certain issues.
Well my friends understand things and are their for me. But my mother and my grandmother as close as my friends. so I can't really choose.
Family are. No doubt. Friends are always more likely to walk away first because they've fewer resources invested in you. This doesn't mean family can't be arses. They can. But family are more likely to have seen you at your most unpleasant and yet, they're still here, so they must've seen a lot of positive in you.
I think both. I have great parents and great friends. My aunts, uncles and cousins are kinda sketchy though...
