Is it normal to be obsessed with your best friend?

basically i'm with best friend a lot and want to be with nearly all the time and she's almost like a sister cuz we're always round each others houses and we're beginning to think we're like lesbians or something but we're not cuz i have a boyfriend and my other friend fancies this guy but we're literally a bit obsessed with each other and everyones saying we spend to much time together and are lesbians and we're starting to think it is it normal?

    There are many types of love! You're not lesbian you just LOVE your BFF to death! It's Totally OK! Hug her, spend your life with her if you must! As long as you know you're not lesbian, GO FOR IT!

    I think it's normal :)

    Love is what connects people together. It's important to all kinds of relationship. Besides boyfriend/girlfriend, we love our family and friends. I always believe that love and sexuality aren't necessarily linked. When people say things like you two are lesbians or spending too much time together, you shouldn't listen to them. I think it's ignorant for people to think so because they clearly don't know how to define love.

    I personally have the same kind of experience. I'm very close to a friend of mine, and I treat her really good that people around us started to rumor how I was a lesbian. I was confused at first, but afterwards I just decided to stop listening to those things they said. Now I'm very sure about my sexual orientation, and I know I'm attracted to boys physically.

    I wouldn't say that this is an 'obsession'. To me, it's just a very strong emotional attachment. And actually I think you should be happy with the friendship you're having with your best friend! It's not that everybody is able to have a close friendship like you.

    However, I guess it's important for you to keep a balance. It's really fine for you to spend a lot of time with your best friend, but at the same time I think you should pay more attention to your boyfriend and your other friends. It's always good to get along with different people instead of focusing on only one person.

    After all, I think the friendship between you and your best friend is a blessing, and you should cherish and enjoy it :) Don't let anything that people say pull you off! Take care.

    The idea that love only exists in sexual or opposite-sex relationships is absurd. It's a modern thing... in older societies people openly expressed love for and were very affectionate with their friends all the time. It's perfectly normal, and you shouldn't feel weird having these feelings for your close friend... No one questions your love for your parents... Why should they question your love for your BFF? Oh, society... you so suck!
