No, it isn't normal. You are suffering with emotional dependency. I did a quick google of this subject and since I'm in a rush I don't have time right now to further research this. The site I found describes it but it seems from a Christian point of view. I'm atheist, so I'm not too happy with this result. However, just read through it, it might give you some insight to your situation. You can then further google it if you like. I just want to add that I went through this with my husband some years back where if he was happy I was happy, if he was angry I felt down, whether I was the reason behind his feelings or not. We were going through a very bad patch in our marriage and ended up in counseling and this problem came up. I was horrified to find out what the psychologist said about it, but once I realised he was actually right, it did improve. Prior to that I thought it was normal to let the people around you bring you down, but it actually isn't.
Just take a look at the link I've provided and do some more reading up on this and decide for yourself. I doubt you're homosexual - this site uses latent homosexuality as a character study, but anyway, there still may be some relevent information contained within.
is it normal to have all your emotions governed by one person

Good luck with this. :)
