Have you ever met people who start calling you their best friend too quickly?
While some people actually make friends very easily, it can also be quite surprising, or even alarming.
Here are a few things that can help you understand whether a person is actually your friend or obsessed with you.
Too Much Attention
If someone is always around and wants to know every little detail about your life, it could be a sign of obsession.
Friends respect your privacy and don't need to know everything.
Not Respecting Boundaries
If the person doesn't understand when you need space or constantly tries to control what you do, it's a red flag.
Friends respect each other's personal space and decisions.
Feeling Pressured
If you feel pressured to spend all your time with this person and can't do things on your own, it might be an issue.
Friends encourage each other to have their own lives and interests.
Extreme Jealousy
If they get super jealous when you spend time with other people or have other friends, it's not a healthy sign.
Friends are happy when you have a good time with others.
Ignoring Your Feelings
If you've told them you need some space or time alone, but they ignore it and keep pushing, it's a problem.
Friends listen to each other and respect each other's needs.
Feeling Uncomfortable
Trust your feelings. If you feel uncomfortable or pressured in the friendship, it's a sign that something might be off.
Friends should make you feel good, not uneasy.
One-Sided Effort
If it feels like you're doing all the work to maintain the friendship and the other person isn't making an effort, it might be one-sided.
Healthy friendships involve effort from both sides.
Lack of Independence
If they can't do things on their own and always need you, it's a sign of dependency.
Friends have their own lives and can function independently.
