How do I keep myself from getting to attached to people?

Getting attached to people isn't necessarily a bad thing, it shows that you're passionate. However if it turns to a point where it's negatively affecting you and your relationships with friends or potential love interests, then it might be best to separate yourself and ask yourself a few questions about these people; Do I know them? What do I actually like about them? Do they care about me? Am I relying on the comfort of another to make me happy? These are all important questions.

Taking small steps toward self-sufficiency helps. If you know you can function without others, you may not find yourself clinging to them as much. Also, not idealizing people is hard, but helps.

While forming bonds with others is part of the human experience, problems can arise when a person feels that one absolutely needs the other in order to be well. Work on being sufficient for yourself. There will be times when your own self will be your only companion, and in those times that companion must be enough. Understand yourself, comfort yourself, and above all, love yourself.

I guess the better question would be to ask yourself if you feel there is a line you want to draw with people and can you identify signs of when you feel you are getting too attached to people? Learning to appreciate oneself will enhance your ability to genuinely care about others. I feel that when I get attached to people, the warning sign is that I feel that these people can do no wrong and I will accept every decision under the moon, sun and stars. This, I know, isn't really how I wish to regard peoples' actions so, I take extra measures to ensure I spend time with others in my life, to diversify my perspective so that I don't get complacent in my relationship building and character building for myself.

Don't share too much. Have someone to talk to - yes. May it be your parents or just "a person". Don't let everyone know what's going on. Don't give too much personal information.

You can't keep yourself away from getting attached to people. We, as human beings, are emotional and social beings too. We cannot live without others. We easily get attached to people we meet during our lifetime. We sometimes even don't notice it. But it is normal thing we can't escape. Don't run from it embrace it. Embrace yourself as a person.

I wouldn't be scared to open up to people, its just the people you open up to. I think you can probably find a perfectly good person to get attached to that won't hurt you.

When you become emotionally attached to a person, you can feel like your life almost depends on them. The key is to break free from this mindset. Realizing your own self-worth and value is very important in building confidence. Emotional attachment can be a deep rooted insecurity; a fear of abandonment - you are dependent on someone, thinking you need that person. As someone who has experienced a lot of emotional attachment to different people in my life, here are some things I've learnt. -Be more cynical. This doesn't mean you shouldn't trust anyone, but putting too much trust in a person is unhealthy. -It's okay to do things by yourself; take this time for reflection and enjoy your own company (this doesn't mean you should do this all the time, however) -Explore the world, meet new people and new places. Seeing more people prevents the possibility of attachment. -And finally be proud of the life you lead, it's yours after all! Patience is required, as detaching yourself from someone can be hard.

I try to set healthy boundaries and remind myself that they are just a person. I only need me and that other person could leave, but boundaries are healthy.

When you have a problem, step one is to realise you do have that problem. In this case, a lot of internal work has to be done to gain independence from everyone, gaining more "ego" and self appreciation, which sadly is most times considered as something bad, but loving yourself, and putting yourself over others, is not bad unless you become selfish and greedy, which is different from being egoist and believing that you are the only thing that matters most, and the other things matter less (but still, matter). That, you will have to find out by yourself. Best of luck, and love, forgive and help everybody, INCLUDING YOU the most.

Is it really such a bad thing to get attached to people? If you've had your trust or something similar broken by someone close to you then it can feel easiest to never get close to anyone again, but that is not a healthy lifestyle, so try and work on building whatever was broken back up again.

This is a really important question! I think the answer falls down to boundaries. It is important to decide the type of people you can go to and safely feel vulnerable with, comfortably being able to be who you are and feel the way you are. You also have to decide what information is shareable with the given people. It is okay to have strong bonds but you want them with the right people and to have set boundaries.

Attachment to others is a normal, healthy part of being human. It's nearly impossible to go through life without any meaningful relationships in your life. Instead of asking yourself how to avoid getting attached to other people, instead ask yourself: Am I afraid of making connections with others because I am terrified of being vulnerable? Am I scared of being hurt by letting someone in? Once you confront any hidden fears, then you will see your relationships with others in a different light. You'll see that's okay to open your heart to let others in, and the risk will pay off.

As naturally social creatures it is in our nature to want to form lasting close relationships with others. If the other person reciprocates this great however if not rejection hurts. Reading the other persons behaviour can help. If it appears that you do all the “leg work” & he/she seems to be happy to take or leave your company you may have become more attached to them than they are to you. Instead, follow at their pace. If you fear getting hurt tell them, perhaps things are moving too fast for you. Communication is key. Lonliness can often lead to becoming too attached to anyone who may show us the smallest amount of attention. If you find your days seem to be centred around this person, your losing other friends who feel they no longer see you as much as they would like or used to, or are generally preoccupied in thought with this person you maybe getting too attached. Remind yourself that whilst his or her company is great & the relationship (from your point of view) is flourishing investing ALL of yourself into it will leave you feeling you have nothing left if things don’t work out. Rather, keep a bit of you for you, you can be a great friend without having to totally deplete yourself. Then if things do not work out yes you may be hurt but you still get to walk away with something- the bits you kept for yourself, that part of “you” that only ever belonged to You.

Having been through several similar situations before, i realised that people are kind of meant to be attached to things as well as other people. When that moment comes when you are ready to open your wings and finally free yourself from whatever is holding you down, you suddenly come to understand that being interdependent is the key to feeling free. You can always make allies and work together with people to power up and produce amazing results and atcthe same time feel completely fine by being on your own two feet 😊 Loving yourself and allowing yourself to be loved and receive love is one of the steps one can take to release blockages in their relationship with other people as well as being undefeated by any negative approach. Love yourself like there is no tomorrow 🤗 and you will be rewarded by never letting yourself be attached to anything or anyone since you will realise you do not need such relationships when you have the best friend - yourself - 🌸

To keep yourself from getting attached to people you can make sure you have different people in your life that all offer you something different. That way you do not rely on just one person as that way end up getting attached to them to help and support you with everything you need or want in life. So share how you feel with people not even but just those that are close to you and you feel safe talking to. This way you do not have to rely on just one person to solve your problems and issues. That is why it is good to have different people in your lives.

My way of coping with it is treating people like children they are inside. Let them live their lives, look at them like a loving parent does - let them be free, let them grow and breathe. Everyone has their own path of life, they have their own feelings, opinions, decisions to take. For years now I'm used to calling people 'flowers'. I benevolently want them to live the best out of their lives, I want them to be happy. I want them to smile. That's why I will always smile to them, no matter what they choose. No matter if they leave me - I will always be there for them, because love is wanting someone to be happy.

I don't think getting attached is a bad thing. It' healthy to have deep, human relationships and connections. It unhealthy to shut everyone out and it makes your problems worse than they were before. Accept love into your life. You deserve that

I will always remember I am here only to help other people

I answer there questions as neutral as possible. If I feel like the conversation is getting out of context, I will suggest another listener.

Try not to visualize life together as much as possible. Keep your mind occupied through various hobbies.

It isnt wrong getting attached to people just stop expecting the same from them. Through this you wont hurt yourself that much

It seems you do not wish to form an emotional attachment to people. However, human interaction and attachments are part of what make us human and are necessary to keep up healthy emotional and social wellbeing. I cannot offer advice on this subject, however perhaps think about the reasons you wish to not be attatched to people firstly.

That is a hard question, but i think i may be of your help. when you meet someone just don't expect to become best friends. try to think of it as mutual friends. not really close friends but still friends. also have you own best friend, the one peron you can talk to. have them be your attachable person.

You shouldn't have to think about that. Being attached is not a bad thing at all. It's part of being human.

Honestly from personal experience I think it's difficult to advoid being attached whether in a serious way or a none committal way. What's more important, is the types of attachements you form with people and even more important the type of person you attach yourself to. Avoiding attachments that make you feel less of you.

There is a difference between becoming attached to people and overly attached, or too attached too quickly. Merely a matter of equivalence. What you are giving in accordance to what they are. An imbalance is not particularly healthy.

There's nothing wrong about getting close to a lot of people, but a lot of people try to distance themselves somewhat in order to 'keep their heart off their sleeve' and make sure they don't get heartbroken. The best way to make sure you aren't 'hugging' everyone super close all the time is to nicely, calmly, and cautiously meet them. Once you trust them it's not a big deal, but until you know the kind of person they are... Just make sure you're cautious. And hey, sometimes people are deceiving. You're not the one to blame if you got attached and got hurt because of it.

Attachment is normal. It's a mechanism of survival, but it can certainly be frustrating to become attached to people who may not be good for us. Setting up boundaries early on in any relationship or encounter with someone can help you keep from getting caught up in the emotions. I would look to someone who knows a lot on the subject and try to learn about healthy boundaries with others.

I'm not sure. Perhaps just keep in mind that we all have some attachment to each other and the world, and that there is no need to feel overly attached to someone in particular until you get close to them. If you focus on something else, while dealing with the reason you are getting attached too quickly or closely, that may help too. Also, don't assume that thing attached is a bad thing. If we were not attached to people we would not have any loyalty.
