Is it normal that i'm in love with my best friend?
I'm confused. I'm deeply in love with my same-sex friend. To the point where I can't stop thinking about her, be it good or bad thoughts! She obviously doesn't like me back, and I'm even starting to get the feeling that she doesn't like me at all. She always teases me about things and I don't know if its actually mean or if I'm taking it too personally, like she says I am. Whenever I try to casually touch her, she pulls away and says "Don't touch me!" and then laughs. Wtf? Then a little while later she'll be sitting on other friends laps, playing with their hair, and I feel...hurt. Sometimes I feel so offended that later at home I start crying, and this happens often. It puts me on edge. Yet I still love her. She is a beautiful person with an amazing personality, but she doesn't see it. Shes very insecure, and whenever she shows that side of herself I want to tell her shes the most beautiful girl in the world. But I can't, because she'll find it weird and I'll find myself crying over how stupid it was later. Yeah, it's pathetic. Is this relationship normal?
