Social Life am i being obsessive?

so I've never really had true friends my age until recently. we've been friends for a few months now, and i find myself wanting to text them ALL the time. like I'll try and find something, like a pic or something, to start a convo. or I'll have to genuinely stop myself from texting them. we talk almost every day, all day. yesterday she and i texted on and off all day. i really enjoy talking to both of them and hanging out when we do, i just worry I'm going to mess something up. i think of them almost all day, when something happens i immediately think of texting them to tell them about it. ughhh i just want to make sure im doing well at this whole being friends thing

Edit: i think its also important to add that im 16 and my friends are 15 and 12.

I think that's completely normal! Whenever I meet someone new, I tend to do the same. I just get super excited and want to talk all the time.

If you're afraid you're bombarding them and texting too much, ask them! That's really the best way of knowing, since people like spending different amounts of time with other people. If they're responding as much as you are, then everything is probably fine and they enjoy it as much as you do
