I tend to be a bit soft hearted.. always eager to help. Unfortunately Ive been taken advantage of more times than not so now it takes alot more time to get close and trust

i have a issue with getting attached, and it has has a very negitive impact on my life, bc i have become attached to my x, and my xs kids (thats not the negitive part, knowing them is the positive part) but sometimes being "easily attached" has its positives too... ex; you become attached and maintain healthy relationships with the kids, with your x as a friend, and the endless learning that comes along with the positive and negitives of being so "easily staple gunned to someones side" its a growing thing, either way...

Depends. Sometimes I'll meet someone and it'll feel like I've known that person forever and it just clicks, goes for male and female friends. Other people may not be that open to attachment. I don't think it has ever impacted my life in a negative way.flowerforyou

To grow close to people is okay, but to grow attached with ease shows one is emotionally weak and cannot stand alone on their own. In my opinion, these people are like parasites (mentally so to speak). Just speaking from my experiences, these people burden others with their own weaknesses. I get annoyed very easily by such. In fact, allow me to share a story with you (really quickm just a scenario).


I know a girl who is engaged. She tells me that she likes me, only talking to me for a little bit of time. I am her friend, nothing more, and I hardly know her. Just because we text each other and I listen to her complain about things (not any more), she said I was a great guy and she is falling for me. One day we hang out, and she begins to touch me in certain places and complain that her boyfriend is small, and that she liked mine better.

At that moment, knowing this girl was going to get married, I discovered that she was emotionally unstable (well sort of figured that from before), she is drama, and she is not happy with who she is with, blah blah blah.....


I cut her off. I got tired of her texting me 24/7 about random stupid things that I care not to know. 6 text messages in 10 minutes without a single response. Having conversations with herself.


Me? Done.

Nope, takes a while for me to get attached. Sometimes it works to my disadvantage because people take it as uncaring.

Most people in our lives come and go. True friends stay forever. Attachment is not easy and takes time. I am fortunate to have 5 true friends we stay close through thick or thin.
