If I’m supposed to love God more than anyone, I don’t see the point of affiliating myself with anyone else. I don’t even talk to my parents. I just talk to God a lot. This is normal, right?

Jesus Christ, who had a profound understanding of and a special fondness for humans, put love for God and neighbor at the very heart of his teaching. He said: “You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. . . . You must love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37-39)
Only those who followed these words would truly be Jesus’ followers. Hence, he said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—John 13:35.
Plus, you must honor your parents, according to what the Bible say 😉
It would depend on your concept of who God is. If it would be the God described in the Bible, then in that situation, you would not be listening to God has to say when he says to love others. It would be a one way relationship. If your definition of God is something else, like you become a monk and try to give up everything for God, then yes that would be normal.
No, it’s not normal. We are all part of God as his Holy Spirit, so talking to people would be good. God does not want us to not be fruitful, and be lonely in his will. He wants us to be outgoing, fruitful, and, multiply. He just doesn’t want us to sin when we do these things.
Best wishes.
If You Love God that Much? then you would obey His Commandments.
Consider the words in 1 John 4:7–12
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be pthe propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us
and here
John 13:34–35 (ESV)
34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
>This is normal, right?
No. This is a severe psychological disorder where you have an aversion to other human beings. Seek professional help.
If a person shuts himself out from society to only talk to an imaginary invisible friend then he is most likely a schiznophrenic, i suggest seeking a therapist.
Yes. It is not normal to get emotionally attached to mythical characters, like God.
Only if you got your nose up His butt like so many other Middle Eastern religious pracitioners.
No.
