Okay, so a little bit of background here. I’m a teenager. I’m homeschooled and my family moved around a lot growing up. We always had a lot of social interaction though, be it through church or other activities. I’ve always found a friend to hang out with.
Then in the last place that I lived i found someone who I call my platonic soulmate. We both moved from that state and now text and call.
Now to the current place. I talk to a lot of people, one of them being this girl I’ll call Cheese. Now, I’ve known her since I’ve lived here and have attended several summer camps along with weekly activities with her. Recently however, Cheese has started calling me her best friend and trying to hang out more than once a week. This made me incredibly uncomfortable. And logically with the amount of time we’ve spent together I should feel closer to her than I do. I was thinking about this until I came to the realization that I do not care if I never see anyone I’ve met here again.
it’s not that I don’t like them or don’t care about their feelings. I do. But I mostly hang out with people because I hadn’t talked to them in a while and they would be sad, but personally I don’t care.
The only people I really care about seeing is my family and my platonic best friend.
So I’m wondering is this normal? Or am I just weird for feeling like this.
and a follow up question: what should I do about cheese and her trying to make us be best friends when I don’t feel like that.
