Why Do I Feel So Close To My Friend

Why do I feel so close to my friend?

I have a friend who I used to hug at least 2-3/day at school and we have shared many hardships together. She's one of the most loving people I know and I admire her so much. She'll often say, "I'm always here for you and/or you can talk to me about anything". And she openly says, "I love you/love you" as if we're family...She does it to some of her other closer friends, too. Like when we're at school, she'll say, "Love you" as we leave or on the phone she'll say, "I love you" before we hang up and when we txt, she'll be like "I love you". And about a month ago when it was my birthday, she was like, "You're such an incredible friend, I love you with all my heart and I love you always. Always remember me and don't ever lose contact, I want to be friends for the rest of our lives".

I feel like she and I have this really strong emotional bond (but we're not lesbian/gay) and as if she's in my life for a reason. Whenever I am with her, I just feel sort of spiritual. Also, none of my other friends and family really say, "Love you" or let me know I have value..only sometimes, and with my friend her love just radiates and she always lets me know I'm valued/appreciated. A few months ago, when she moved away to a new state, I cried for almost two days straight because I was so sad. Why do I feel so close to her? Thank you!

How would you feel if your close friend betrays you?

How would you feel if your close friend betrays you?Awful.But I’d get over it.This happened to me twice this week.2 people betrayed my trust in them.Big time!I mean they totally blindsided me.Initially I felt angry and upset.But then I thought about it, And the more clarity I gained on the situations (actually both situations were very similar in essence, just happened in 2 different geographical regions). Finally I figured it out.I consider both of those people my close friends. Because of that my thinking about them became a little biased (on the positive side, to their advantage), and I just about dismissed all the incidences from their life involving betraying other people. I believed, or rather convinced myself that neither one would do that to me. O, was I wrong! Both people had a long recent history of slipping loyalty, looking out for #1 even if it ment stepping over others, and less than trustworthiness with their words and actions.So what really happened was that I wanted to see sheep when in actuality snakes were before me.And the nature of a snake is to bite, that’s just what snakes do.But I wanted to believe was that those snakes were sheep.O, was I wrong!Now I know who I’m dealing with, and I adjusted my action accordingly.

Why don't I feel close to any of my friends anymore?

There is a quote that I heard from somewhere. I do not know who the credit goes to. It goes like this:I don’t see relationships as permanent fixtures. Humans are so multidimensional and ever-changing. It seems unrealistic that all or any of our friendships (except perhaps the womb that bore us) will actively serve for the entirety of our lives.Relationships are like books - find them, obsess with them if they are a good one, keep them on your shelf or a bed-side table, return to them as often as you have the impulse, store them in your attic if the bed-side table is too near but if you are afraid to part ways, and when it feels right give them away when you are rearranging your life.You will always have the lesson, story, and perspective as you learn who you are. You don’t have to own something to keep it.…First, I want to let you know that you do not need to validate your feelings to anyone for any reason. You own your own feelings and that is completely OK. Sometimes when we experience different needs met to our own selves or new set of priorities (example: yourself, relationships, social health, schedule, etc) we have for ourselves we want to attract different people in our lives. When I was growing up in high school I called everyone whom I saw in school my “friends”. But by the time I got to college my need or my way of categorizing friendships and other social relationships changed and I got more picky on who to really call my “friends”.

I don't feel close to my friends. What should I do?

Honestly, you should tell them what you’re telling us…Your friends should know that’s how you feel, and I’m sure they’ll understand given the distance found between you and them. It might not have even occurred to them that’s what you’re feeling, and when telling you the stories they might just be trying to keep you up to date on everything that’s happening.You must access how much the bond with your friends is worth. Unfortunately, only you can decide that based on your history with them.If after making the effort to tell them about how you feel left out, and they’re not appearing to show understanding, then you have a few choices.Continue to be friends, but not as close as beforeLook into making some other friends near you, and still be friends with your old ones, and maybe your new friends and old friends and yourself can become friends.Don’t tell your friends how you really feel, and hope everything works itself out.Tell your friends how you really feel, and hope everything works itself out.I wish you the best of luck!

I feel like my friend is getting too close to my girlfriend and it's getting me upset, what should I do?

Simple.Talk to her, tell her what concerns you.Talk to your friend, tell him what concerns you.By this you can realize a lot of things:If you don't have enough confidence to talk to them about that, consider who you are with.If you really distrust your friend and your girlfriend that much, then again, consider who you are with.Meditate to control your emotions, don't let them take over you and make you do something stupid.Talk to them, if something else happens between them, and you did talk to them, you can be sure that you couldn't do something anyways and it was not up to you.

Why do I sometimes feel that some of my close friends are not really my friends?

Hmm. If you feel that way, then you need to do some serious self-analysis. If I were you, I’d start by assessing how I interact with my ‘close friends.’ Ask yourself: Am I open with my close friends? Are they open with me? Do we all feel comfortable talking with each other? Are we honest with each other? Is there any friction? Any awkwardness? [If there’s friction or awkwardness, then ask yourself why it exists between you and your close friend(s).]I would also take a second look in what I want and expect from my ‘close friends.’ Do you just want company? Or do you want them to listen to you? Or do you want an actual conversation, that back-and-forth stimulation? Do you want them to laugh at your jokes and ‘get’ you? What do you need? What do you want?It’s also entirely possible that you may have simply changed to the point where certain ‘close friends’ no longer fit what you need or want. Think of it as you growing and being on a different page and needing new friends who understand the new page and are already there themselves. If this is the case, it’s a natural process of growing up. People grow and change over time, and sometimes their circle of friends, their lifestyle, their career change along with them. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. You can just let these friends drift away slowly and gradually by seeing them less and less over time, and hopefully they will just go on with their lives. (Of course there are always some who notice and get upset…in which case you have to handle them the same way you would with a significant other: you’d have to explain to the upset friend why it’s no longer working for you and all that. If you have to, bring out the old “it’s me, it’s not you.”)

Is it normal to feel closer to friends than family as a teen???

well i feel the same way so i guess we are in the same boat
i love my friends and my family too but i dont feel as close with my family as i do with friends
yes i do think this is normal because our friends are going through the same things we are while growing up and we can relate too them more than we can our family

EDIT: yes your right we can talk to friends about boys, gossip, and all different kinds of things that you can with your family

Why do I feel so uneasy about being close with my cousin?

You are just learning more about your cousin. It is nice to get closer as we get older. There is nothing to feel weird about, unless you have sexual feelings about her. In that case, it would be best to back off before trouble arises.

When my brother got older, and was able to do adult things with me, it made us very close. Prior to that, he was just the nuisance younger brother. I loved him, but was not close to him. Having more in common, I felt a greater sense of love and a special bond between us. That is probably what is happening with you.
