Struggling with sexuality as a woman is confusing because of female friendships

Personal Story

I would classify myself as straight usually (23F) and I have a loving partner who's my age and a guy. However, sometimes as a girl you get female friendships that are pretty close. Not kissing or anything, but moreso hugging and intimate conversations.

Sometimes, I wonder what the line is between romantic feelings and friendship feelings. If we're hugging all the time and touching frequently, I can't help but get feelings that I cannot explain. Sometimes I've been in female friendships where there's a lot of jealousy when the other person is close with someone else/in a relationship. If it were opposite genders, you'd call it a crush no? Idk i find it very confusing sometimes to figure out whether you're romantically interested in women because of the nature of female friendships being so intimate
