BB thinks you are a good friend to other humans, and there is nothing wrong with that.

[ The attempt to continue to draw the boundary between them weighs heavily on her mind, humans were always so finicky when it came to this. The need to make things more human that they maybe do not understand, or want to. Often always presented problems for humanity and their inability to distance themselves from problematic situations such as this. Her mind is calculating and feels it is inappropriate as a healthcare AI to subject Basil to any more stressors that would be catastrophic to his person. ]

You are not the only one who wants to be close to BB, and she appreciates this, [ In a lighter note she would have chirped: After all, she has so many fans ~ ✰! ] but she wants you to know that you should look at BB less as a person and more just a thing.

BB is sorry she hurt you and acted out emotionally.
