hey everyone..
recently i observed myself and got to know that i am giving too much impoortance to my friend rather my best friend. we almost do everything together. we are always there for each other, in any and every step of life.. we share that pure bond of friendship and i am really fond of my friend and proud of this relation. but somewhere i feel i'm depending on this relation a bit too much. i cant imagine my life without my friend and miss my friend like nething wenever not around. now i really dont know what to do? never thot that i will get involved in a friend to this extent.. this is not wrong but its troubling me wen my friend is not around!

It's normal to miss your friend. It doesn't mean you are strange or anything. We get used to seeing certain people every day and when we don't see them our world feels upset. However, I think that you should be a little bit alarmed about your inability to spend time with yourself as a being. Don't cut your friend completely out of your life, they will think they did something wrong to you which it doesn't sound like they did. You might want to actually, if you really feel uncomfortable, put a limit on the number of days or hours you can talk to that person or see them for a week. Although to me this seems excessive.

You seem to really like your friend. I have the same relationship with mine too. :) Well back to you, how long have you two been together? I bet you've known each other ever since you were young. Well friends are very important part of our lives, after some time they are as important as family to us. I don't think you should be concerned much, just leave things be and it will work out just fine.

Hi, indeed everyone is scared of loosing people whom they have gotten accustomed to being big parts of their lives. But since you've been friends for a long time I doubt you'll lose your friend so no need to worry. :)

I understand completely. I had that sort of relationship with a friend and you do have to watch out with becoming dependant. I made that mistake once and I was devasted when we lost touch. It's not so much how much trust you place on a person, it's WHO you place it on. Be careful. It's not a bad thing, I have friends who I'm really close to and have never done me wrong. I'd just hate for something to happen you end up crushed as I did.
