Is it normal to grow such strong attachments to people?

And i don't mean as in boyfriend/girlfriend/love/whatever. I don't mean romantically in any way, shape, or form. I got bullied a lot as a child never had many close relationships with anyone. Now that I'm a senior in high school, I'm finding that with certain people i crave a close relationship so badly that it physically makes me feel like I'm in pain. Like i will get SUPER protective of them and when I see them even looking like they are having fun with someone else i get extremely jealous that it isn't me they are having fun with. I cant even describe the extent of how shitty it makes me feel.

    You should be happy your friends are having fun. I think you're just jealous coz you think their lives are better than your own - wrong! Or, you are angry that they can have fun without you being with them.

    It would be awful to be your gf / bf as you would try to control them and end up suffocating and losing them :o(

    I feel the exact same way.. Also a senior in high school with issues of making friends as a kid. Haha, probably not normal, but yeahh..
    I had a best friend all throughout high school and a few years of middle school where I would mentally just shut down every time she ditched me for someone else. I ended up driving her away this year and it has been devastating..

    Not normal. Try not to focus too much on a small amount of people. This should (hopefully) even you out.
