This isn't a recent thing for me. I've been like this eversince I was a child in elementary school. I have this childhood friend and I have a bit of a possessive streak. You see, back then in elementary and middle school, I didn't want her to have any other friends. It wasn't because I was being mean, but rather, I wanted to be the only friend she'd ever need. I wanted to be her one and only star. I didn't want to share her or have her attention be directed to anyone else (Because inwardly, I think I was scared our friendship would cease to matter and she'd forget me because in my mind: devided friendship= less value). I wanted it to just be her and I.

I'm still possessive to this day. Except nowadays, I'm possessive over her romantically. I feel as if I'm the only one that should have her. In my mind, she's mine and always will be.

    Well, ain't that dysfunctional and self aggrandizing. If you really care about her, you want her life to be complete, instead of selfishly feeling the need to be the center of her universe just so you can feel secure.

      True, I'd rather be alone than be with someone like that.

      I know that behavior would be a deal breaker for me, that's for sure.

    You are headed for a long, bumpy, painful trip. Perhaps you should move somewhere where owning slaves is a tad more acceptable, that is if you don't mind Ebola.

    "I feel as if I'm the only one that should have her. In my mind, she's mine and always will be."

    ^^That sounds very creepy. Maybe you should ease up a bit. The more you hold on, the more she'll resist. Let a girl breathe and have her own identity.

    You sound selfish and insecure.
