Is it normal my best friend texts me every single day?

She's a great girl but she texts me every day. And if I reply, it gets into a big conversation and she'll make it last all day if she can. She literally takes 30 seconds to reply each time. She will text me from about 10am until 12am like she has nothing else better to do. If I don't reply, she'll text me again an hour later.

It gets pretty annoying. I do not talk to my other friends as much as this because there is no need. I'm busy and so are they. She has three other close friends, yet I know for a fact she only talks to them once a week, twice at the most. I genuinely think she's obsessed/in love with me (she admits to being bi and gets pissed off if I sleep with anyone, get a boyfriend etc.) and I know it's not her fault if she has feelings for me, but I find it creepy and annoying. She is ridiculously clingy.

But anyway, is it normal for a friend to contact you daily and for 14 hours straight if you reply to those texts?

    I don't find it abnormal, and if she is your best friend don't you think that you should be capable of talking to her about those things that are annoying to you? seriously, if i was your best friend i would be mad that you post that on the internet instead of talking directly to me. Best friends should be able to talk honestly to each other, talk to her, come on, this ain't cool for her either although people who read this don't know who she is. Best friends mean a lot more than that, be glad you have her around, i hope you will not loose her, people sometimes don't realize what they have until they don't have it anymore, i lost my best friend 4 years ago, i was the last person he texted, it was 7 am and i wish i had waked with his message and answered to him, i didn't heard it though, he died with an heart attack, i would gladly give my life if i have a chance to see him again, my best friend was a part of me, think about this. talk to her, be honest, you owe that to her if she really is your best friend. She will understand it. If she is your friend she will not want to do something that is uncomfortable to you.

    She either likes you or is bored. Try to help her find other things to fill her time and she will text less.

      She can try that but it probably won't work. I tried it with my text-addicted friend.

    I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

    My friend is bipolar so I think that has something to do with it.

    She and I are both adults in our mid 20s. And she has a kid (single mom) so I have no clue how she is able to have all this time to text me every fucking day. And she has had a roommate too (a platonic female roommate who she somehow convinced to live with her and her kid).

    I'm not even going to go on...I'll just make a post of my own for the whole story.

    I'm just glad I'm not alone here.

    ok the fact that shes bi has went to your head. just because she texts you alot doesnt nessarly mean she has feelings for you. maybe your just her bestest friend and she feels more confrontable with you. sometimes girls get possesive over their friends excally their bestfriends (some girls bi or straight) doesnt mean shes in love with you. it could just mean she thinks of you as a sister and she doesnt like when most of your time is directed to someone else. honstly she probley doesnt realize shes doing it or that it bothers you. you dont really sound like a bestfriend because you would feel confrontable just telling her you cant text her right now . cuz ur probley right shes probley just bored.

    im not saying their couldnt be other reasons on why she acts like that but jumping to thoese kind of conclusions is kinda judgemental on ur part and not fair to your "best friend". i had a friend who was the same way and she was straight as can be in fact she was boy crazy. i just was straight up with her and were still friends today. next time that happens tell her your busy or your not in the mood. she cant possibly know shes bothering you if you dont tell her how you feel. communication is key in all relationships.

    I clicked no to it's not normal, but now that I properly rhink about it I change my mind...I once had a guy friend that would txt me pretty much every day but I do know for a fact that he liked me. We would txt all day sometimes as he would keep the conversation going as would.

    You should tell her how you feel about it or try to subtly bring it up in a conversation. like maybe say "haha you are always texting me so much" I don't know...
