Is it normal that i have a friend who is obsessed w/ me?

So I'm a senior in high school (guy) and I have this friend who is obsessed with me, he is a junior and he controls my life with his emotional issues. He gets mad if I don't text him or call him, cries when I'm "annoyed with him and freaks our when we don't hang out ( alone) I a week! Alot of the times he will ignore his girlfriend if i'm not talking to him, they have relationship issues cuz of te fact I'm not texting, calling or hanging out with him. He calls me his bestfriend and expects me to callhim the same but don't becase his isn't my "best" friend! There is no way for me to really get rid of him I've tried so idk what to do! There is alot more about him but I don't like writing a book! I'm a nice person he just brings out the annoyed side!

  • Well he seems like he could honestly be in love with you. You could just try to tell him nicely that you can't hang out every week, and if he cries then stand your ground. Truthfully of he doesn't get any better and you don't want to be a complete a** hole, you're graduating this year anyway

  • Yeah, that can't be normal, or healthy, to be honest. I would guess that he probably doesn't have very many other friends, or the "friends" he has are really mean to him. To him, you're possibly the only one who seems to care about him, and he enjoys that feeling so much that it comes off to you as obsession. My advice would be to not drop him as a friend completely; if he's this attached, losing you would likely hurt him very badly. I'm not saying, however, that you shouldn't set him straight. I've found that the best (meaning the most effective and easiest on both of you) way to do this is to pull him aside one day and talk to him privately. You could say something like "Hey. I think you're a great person, but I can't hang out with you all the time, and I would really appreciate a little space." Answer any questions he may have; he probably doesn't realize that his behavior is coming off like that. Try to stay calm but firm. He will most likely appreciate that you took the time to explain this to him calmly (rather than just blowing up at him and cutting off the relationship entirely) and will be more than happy to give you some space.

    I had a friend named Will last year and he texted me constantly and acted like we were really close. I was so fed up with him(he was also kind of a perv). I ignored him for the next 3 monthes and he finally understood that I dont want to talk to him. Woot.

    whats the fuck is wrong with you man? you feeling all important? someone respects and adores you and you find that a fuckin inconvenience? i would so fuckin love to beat the livin fuckin lights out of you if i was yonder. respect him man, be kind to that gentle soul. he is not obsessed with you, he just respects you. well dont take this as a message to be cruel to him. he deserves your kindness mate. he's got a girl so he sure isnt gay is he. you dont turn down a person who likes you as a human being like that? be kind to him. dont feel so fucking proud of yourself, if not for him you wont have anyone left in the world.

    I'd tell him to just go and all that but then he'll just leech onto someone else! And I truely don't wish this kind of obsession on anyone else! I've tried telling him he should seek a counselor but he gets all upset and changes the subject to some other issue! Which he have daily! Maybe when I graduate I'll leave and not tell him! It's sad I'd have to get rid of everything I know to get rid of my (creeper-stalkerish) friend-epic sigh- so yeah! Any thoughts? Lol

      if you're not going to see him after you graduate, why wait til then? you probably are a nice guy. both of you could learn something from ending this relationship.

    Don't lead him on. Just tell him how you feel but be nice about it because he sounds sensitive. Or maybe it's just that your his only
    bestfriend and probably the only source of comfort he has.

    Sometimes people with few friends get very attached to one of them. He is probably lonely and does consider you his best friend. However, if you do not feel the same you need to tell him. Do not text, call or hang out with him. He will get over you after a while!

      create some system for when he behaves inappropriately, like maybe a little pat on the bottom. just a little spank, like you would a puppy. and you have to hit him harder when he's really bad. roll up a newspaper. either that or kiss him. if he doesn't like it you should kick his shins and then sucker-punch him. if he does like it just explain to him that you don't like him that way.
