I absolutely adore my family, my parents and younger brother in particular. I love them so much to the point that I would gladly give my life for them, and when my parents die, I will likely need to be institutionalized, since I'm not exactly the most emotionally stable person to begin with.
I don't consider myself obsessed with them, though I do have a tendency to follow my mom or brother around the house (I consider that to be their fault though; if they didn't start moving around every 5 minutes, it'd be much easier for me to carry on a conversation with them...)
As reluctant as I am to admit it, I do have some pride in being an American. Whenever people from other countries start trash-talking the US, I can feel my blood start to boil. One time there was a thread here on WP that was basically a big US-bashing fest, and my brother and I made a throwaway account in order to trash-talk the UK in retaliation (which I almost got banned for - I was told by a mod that it's OK to make fun of other countries in a joking way but not a malicious way - in other words, they were probably a butthurt Brit)
And like most Americans, I tend to take a lot of pride in my home state. On one website (I forgot which one) someone from a different country observed that Americans tend to treat the states as though they were separate countries, which I absolutely agree with. Each state has its own way of life, stereotypes, and even accents, so in a way they are kind of like mini countries. That being said, I am a very proud Idahoan!

(as if my username didn't give that away, lol)yeah it can probably go the other way too, like AS people being really fixated on their family. I love my family a lot but I find most people seem to feel infinitely closer to relatives than to other people, which I've never totally understood.

(as if my username didn't give that away, lol)I have to say, you are so lucky, and I almost feel jealous of you. I think life would seem way more fun and exciting to feel that way about my family. Don't get me wrong, I love my family BUT I can't say their the best family a person could have and I can't say I always feel comfortable around them to the point of completely opening up and feel close. If I three wishes, that would definitly be one of them because I think people who do feel close to your family like you are very lucky.
