My friends mean a lot to me. I separate all of my friends in two groups, the normal and the close friends. Its normal for me to argue with my other friends, but the problem is, I'm not sure what will happen to me if one of my close friends starts a fight. I treat my close friends as my family, to tell you the truth, I have a feeling that I even value them more than my family. Every time I one of them makes me feel lonely and neglected, I tend to cut myself. I don't know what I'll do without them. Is it normal to act this way?

    Yes and no. I have been away from my best friend in the world and I miss him dearly. It's not very normal to cut yourself...and probably a habit you should consider dropping. It's actually not healthy to be /that/ attached to your friends, to want to harm yourself because you are not with them. Try be more independent and ok with being alone?
    As for fighting, I've fought a coupe of times with my best friend...it's something that has to happen eventually. But just as long as you are honest with each other, and talk everything out, in the end it will actually make you stronger friends :)
    I think you should definitely tell your friends about the cutting though :(

    i have the same feeling, i love my friends so much, and i do cut my self when i feel hurt or neglected, i think our love is normal but we must not cut ourselves bcz this isn't right and if our friends knows that, they will call us crazy and they'll be mad and maybe they'll never understand us, so plz try not hurting yourself

    that is totally normal, you don't really love them more than your family, family love is different than friend love, try not to hurt yourself.

    Yes, this is normal. Peers often influence your feelings and your personality a lot more than parents. I see you are kind of having the "Nature verses Nurture" thing. But keep in mind, who buys your clothes, puts a roof over your head, got you here? My priorities are simply; God, mom, and friends.
