Suffocating my best friend?

Question

Recently, I've found the best friend I could ever ask for, and I love her to pieces. She's always there for me, whenever something goes wrong she's helping me. But my major flaw with this is that I'm so so worried that I'll lose her. I know she's got to have other friends, but I'm always worrying, clinging, suffocating her. I know deep down it must be annoying her, and I risk losing her even more because of this, but I just can't help it. I want to know how I can stop myself from constantly clinging. Thanks x

Answer 1

You can start to go to your other friends for help.  It will give her some room to breath and you won't annoy her by having her help you with every single problem you have.  

Answer 2

Give her space more often. ^_^  

Answer 3

you really struck me when i read this question;

wow; it scares people when your using the word suffocate especially someone you caree alott the most;

the only advice i can give you is that well; you have to have faith in both of you guys;; its not like shes going to leave you, if she knows you are her best friend.

since you guys are, then what to worry about?

you should be ashamed of yourself i quite think. that your not trying to figure this out yourself...

dont worryy and dont cling to your bff. you lov her, im sure she does too as bffz.

=P gud luck!

Answer 4

You know what you are doing so why not cool it down a bit?

Try and wait for her to call you sometimes. If this keeps going on with you annoying her the "best friends" thing will burn off sooner than you think.

Answer 5

Keep busy with work, school, home or art projects, call friends and/or family you haven't hung out with in a while, it doesn't matter what it is, just stay busy and don't make your friend responsible for your whole social life. She'll begin to resent it and withdraw. Also make sure you're supporting her through her trials and tribulations just as much as she is for you. Otherwise the friendship becomes unbalanced.

Answer 6

You gotta find some new friends, also.

I've dealt with the same as you. I have a best friend I've been with for a decade, but sometimes we have our times.

She will get annoyed, she will choose other people over you, and she will betray you.

To avoid this pain, you need to make some new friends. If there's this other girl you talk to in class or something, don't be afraid to ask for her number and call her up sometime to chill. Girls love to make new friends. I just did it the other day, and it feels great.

You can still be friends with your friend, but don't always rely on her or depend on her, because it won't always happen.
