6 Signs You're Overly Attached To Someone 

I’m in the same situation

Me too

Im in the same situation and was kinda hoping that's where this video would go since it always seemed so positive and motivating and having a "you've got this" mentality. This video, while informative, left me feeling... dissatisfied.

Ya, I think this is actually a very common problem in the dating sphere (I speak from experience) and I think it needs to be even further addressed. Its honestly been one of the most common things I saw while meeting people, and I think it could be useful to have some tips on breaking out of such a mentality and viewing things properly.

Same here, I know how it feels

@@trylesta9668you’re welcome

A girl I've been talking to for a few weeks who I have a crush on touched my thigh today, i feel like she might like me. Am I taking things to fast or should I follow my gut?

@@Red-hot_Pyro always follow your gut my guy, even if the feelings aren't reciprocated you should always do the things you want in life as long as they don't hurt others, but if you're afraid of rejection build a friendship with this person learn what they enjoy, their dislikes, and all their quirks it's okay to take things too fast as long as it doesn't get you attached or dependent on a person!

Thank you for the time stamps!

Same here, ur not alone😊

I also saw friends that abandon relationships in fear that they'll be abandoned first. It's never easy when you see close friends ghosting another because they're afraid that they'll be abandoned someday.

I can't truly grasp the emotions you went through when ending that friendship due to the fear of abandonment, and I'm genuinely sorry for the pain it caused. How are you feeling now? Are your experiences with friendships and relationships improving?

So you ended the relationship for an issue that had not even happened? Just because you were fearful? All of life is a risk.

I very much relate to this. I do this is romantic relationships. Thankfully my partner saw through it and has continued to stay with me. I try to work on it but I always feel the fear to run away out of fear and to run before I’m possibly left. It’s very stressful and I don’t want to think or feel this way. I’m sorry you experience this too 😔

Thank you for the kind words. Have you spoken to your partner about this? How do you guys communicate with one another about the topic of attachment?

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It's completely okay to have moments of self-reflection about your attachment style, and it's clear you're putting effort into finding a healthy balance.

I am anxiously attached as well.

@@Psych2go I plan on telling them about it soon. I just got to get over the overthinking. We talk over text usually since they’re busy with work or other things.

Update: On the day I planned to tell them about everything they broke up with me.. I’m perfectly fine now though!

Felt this frfr

Meaning she was overly attached to you and got jealous when she felt like you didn't return her affections?

@Psych2go it was like she would whine and complain about everything all the time. Then she would get grouchy if I didn't have a sea of complaints. I have none! I'm loving life right now.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to make such a difficult decision. It's important to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being in relationships. If you're comfortable, could you share more about how you navigated this situation and how you're feeling now?Your experience might resonate with others who are facing similar challenges.

Like the famous quote of Dr. Seuss... "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" I may never get to experience what it means to have a gf since I'm in my early 20s and time seems to be running out for me... But you've lived your life out to experience something that is challenging for people to accept. I hope you're doing fine now.... As for me I'm still looking for someone to be my gf... Till then, I'm all open to any girl at this point. 💔

@@timinator900 I think you will get your time. Honestly when I look back I do smile surprisingly💙

​@chloe1124 tbh that is exactly what happened to me, we met again after fully breaking up and we didn't seem like we hated each other, we just became friends again but that doesn't mean we gonna date again cause I'm no longer into these stuff and think about what I need and what my family needs first, so we not dating again.

Breakups can be emotionally challenging. It's commendable that you're managing the situation better now. Could you share some insights into how you overcame the attachment, considering that the feelings are not as intense anymore?

@@onnie1036 honestly I was like so depressed and I thought no one understood me and what I was going through, but my attachment and relationship was unhealthy so what I told myself helped me it won't always help everyone out. But after some time I told myself I am free from them, I also started focusing on myself more and that might sound like everyone else but it's true it can really help in the long run.

😭😭 I feel your struggle..

Thank you for the kind words! :)

Regardless of the outcome, expressing your care and wanting the best for her is a beautiful sentiment. It sounds like you value her well-being, and that's a wonderful foundation for any relationship.

Nice! How did you make progress in your relationships? What were some practices that you did to improve on your tendencies for attachment?

@@Psych2gohonestly, the repeated cycle of failed relationships was draining me. I just started being intentional about my growth and I’m starting to become the person, for myself, that I’ve always wanted my partners to be for me. Once I took the pressure off of others to make me feel a certain way, it brought me a lot of peace and confidence in a way.

That's great to hear. Once you free yourself from feeling like people should make you feel a certain way, you tend to feel very free. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Wishing you strength and healing as you navigate through this situation.

As someone who thought the same things as you, talking to your partner can change your outlook on the matter. I used to think that my girlfriend was not putting in as much effort as I was and it bothered me until I took the time to talk to her and try to understand her. That's when she let me know the way she thinks about things and the way she puts effort in, and although something can seem effortless to me, it doesn't mean it's something that is easy to her. Rather than conforming and hoping they match you, try understanding where they might be coming from and what they might be working on that you cannot see plainly. Obviously not every situation is like mine but since I thought along the same lines as you previously, I just want to make sure you don't squander something that might still have life. I hope this was helpful, either way I hope things go well for you and start improving.

@ap3xwafer291 The two of us had a really close relationship, but we never officially started dating. We only ever called each other really close or best friends, but we still acted in ways that blurred the lines between "just friends" and "something more."" I think both of us were hoping the relationship might advance to dating, but it never got there because of our issues. It was a strange relationship. We were best friends over text, calls, and when we hung out just by ourselves. But when we were with our other friends, she barely acknowledged me. There were days when she wouldn't even utter a single word in my direction. I kept bringing up to her how that hurt me, and she said she just couldn't bring herself to do it. I could tell she was being genuine when she said she didn't know why. I always did everything I could to comfort her and support her when she was going through problems, but she could never do the same with me. She just didn't know how. She was terrible at it, and she wasn't even aware of it. She barely understands herself, so it makes sense she wouldn't be able to understand me. We're both still young, with me being 17 and her 18. And even though she's a year older than me, I've come to realise that she's too immature and incapable of being in a deep relationship, even if it was just a close friendship. I need companionship, someone to have a deeper emotional relationship with, and she's just not the one. We've had a few fights already, but I think the most recent is the last. I kept coming back and hoping she might have changed and gotten better, but that was never the case. I think I'll be able to forget about her this time. It's kind of silly, honestly. I got overattached to someone I never even dated. All because she was going through some problems, and I saw someone I had the ability to help and the opportunity to protect. Little did I know, what I needed was for someone to care for me as much as I cared for them, and thats not her.

Thank you for the kind words! We'll do our best :)

Recognizing areas for improvement is a crucial step, and the fact that you're willing to work on yourself is a commendable effort.

Moving on can be a challenging journey, but it opens the door to new possibilities and growth. Wishing you strength and resilience as you embark on this path of self-discovery and healing.

It's okay to prioritize your well-being and establish limits to ensure that both parties feel comfortable. Mutual respect and understanding contribute to positive and sustainable relationships.

Haha thank you for the summary!

It sounds like your friend wasn't just a friend but someone who actually took care of you. It's hard not to get attached to someone like that.

It sounds like you might be experiencing complex or conflicting emotions towards this person.

@@onnie1036I do,but I don’t know what to do.

We try! ;) Thanks for acknowledging our team's hard work!

Take things at your own pace, and you'll likely find a healthy balance in your connections.

I wish you success on your journey towards self-improvement and the betterment of your relationships.

@@onnie1036 thank you, i really needed this as a little boost

It's wonderful to hear that you're in love and experiencing happiness in your relationship☺. Finding a balance that works for both you and your partner is key. Enjoy the journey of love!🥰

bro same.. I feel really attached to my ex, I bet she is too because she calls me her brother but we not feeling love :/

@WAVESVSV for the first time in years I understand the phrase "its only your job to take care of yoirself" it's not your place to take care of others and completely your place to take care and make sure your needs are met :) the best of luck to your recovery

@@DaxVerus wise words

Personal growth is a continuous journey, and you're doing great by actively seeking knowledge and making positive changes.

😂😂😂

I wish i had that blessing

Stop

Close relationships are valuable and can bring a lot of happiness and support into your life. However, it's also important to ensure that these attachments don't become overly consuming or affect your own well-being.

@@onnie1036 thank you for the information!
