I am a 16-year-old girl, and I have a pastor who has always been there to advise and guide me. I see him as my godfather.
He is genuinely interested in my wellbeing. That is the first question he asks whenever he sees me. If there is time, he asks me about my spiritual walk with God, whether I did my Bible studies that morning, what I have learned, a Bible quote I have memorised, and how school is going. He always encourages me to take my education seriously.

Over time, I have shared so many personal things with him that I have become emotionally attached to him. Even when I am not around him, it feels like he is with me. Sometimes, I feel like he can see me doing things, like playing a song that does not praise God.
Whenever I am doing something, I find myself imagining what he would say or think, even when he is nowhere around. If it is something good, I tell myself, “He would be happy wherever he is.” If it is something wrong, I make the sign of the cross and move away from doing it.
There isn’t a single day that I don’t feel this way.
Whenever I see him, my heart starts beating so fast. Boom, boom. If I am walking and notice him coming towards me, or if I have to sit in front of him, I become nervous. My hands get sweaty, I start fidgeting, and suddenly I don’t even know how to walk properly. Some days, I have to count my steps before I continue walking.
I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone
This is becoming mentally and emotionally exhausting, and I don’t know what to do.
Nothing inappropriate has ever happened between us, but I don’t understand why I feel this way or why I have become so attached.
Please, what should I do?

Are you sure you are 16 years
Yes. Can you remember yourself at 16? It’s called puppy love and everyone experiences it. In later years, you will shake your head in disbelief at your younger self and wonder what was wrong with you then. Try to make more friends and nurture a more active social life with your peers. In time the feelings will go away
It is normal Christy. Your parents are doing a bad job at raising you. You should be telling them this and they should be telling you, every human being has gone through it before at various stages in life. You are responding the way every normal human being will respond to situations like this and it is your bodies own way of preparing you for romantic and emotional situations. All the best! It is just infatuation!
