I am quite confused because i have a friend that i rely on way too much. At first i confused my behaviour and obsession for him as romantic, but it's not that. I can not get through the day without talking to them, because it makes me happy and calms me down when i am in a rage. I get quite upset when i can't talk to him and when people say nasty things about him. I am not very good at talking to him, but because he is very accepting, i find him easier to talk to than other people. We had a massive argumemt because he thought i was being too clingy, but we eventually became friends again. His friends bully me, so i can't talk to him when they are around. It's frustrating. Does any one else have something like this? Is it me just being a weirdo? What should i do?

It sounds to me as if you are using your friend as a therapist, in which case you should stop doing so and hire an actual therapist.

Your friend may only be allowing you to dump your problems on him because he might like you in a romantic way. Or maybe not, but this seems to be the situation a lot of the men here have found themselves in. They think a girl likes them because she tells him all of her problems, and think they have a chance at dating her so allow her to continue to do this.
