Is it normal that i feel this way about these people?

I'm 18 and female, ever since I was younger I've always found it comforting to have someone to look up to, as a role model sort of thing but not in my family, mainly teachers, and my boss. When I was little it started with my teachers in infants and juniors and I used to be a pupil that all the teachers liked and I got attached to them, then when I left my schools I got upset and lost contact with all of them, but when I went to high school as I went from year to year I had different teachers that I had feelings for, I used to get on with everyone but certain teachers stood out and I'd have a really good relationship with them but now more than ever I have a boss and she's really lovely, we spend a lot of time together, I really care about her, and I love how she cares for me too, even though I'm 18 she tends to look out for me and look after me, and also I have a teacher at college who I really like, we get along well and she helps me with everything whether it being work or personal issues, I find it really nice to have people like this in my life that cares for me, but I think of them in a different kind of way I always want to hug them and be as close to them as possible all of them time, and I get really excited to see them, I'd imagine sitting together cuddling each other and stuff but if I ever think of them in a sexual type of way it makes me feel sick, so I'm not lesbian but why do I think of them in that kind of way? Is it normal?

    Aww you're cute-but be careful about developing dependency type relationships. It can be a double-edged sword-people who form such bonds, could also manipulate and hurt you, perhaps even unintentionally.

    Maybe you lacked good paternal role models and seek it out in others. Certainly being young you'd want guidance from older and wiser individuals-but you should always be careful.

    It takes a long time to develop truly trusting relationships. Ultimately you have to be your own parent-but there's no harm in getting advice and support from others.

    Also I'd suggest breaking up your thoughts into sentences and paragraphs.

  • No I have a great relationship with both my parents so I don't really understand why I feel this way

    Normal. You're just looking for acceptance. Did you have problems with your mom? Tread lightly, or you run the risk of getting embarrassed or hurt.

    I think I just fell in love with a hermit crab
