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

Hey I totally understand what you mean. Try to think of it in the long run. Are they going to be with you for a long or short period of time? Identify their somewhat negative qualities and try to focus on them from time to time to balance out the adoration you may have for them. It can be difficult especially when you feel strong emotions towards them but remember to always focus on yourself first and see if you can benefit from their company or not. If this is continuing to stress you out, perhaps recognise the fact that maybe they aren’t worth the emotional attachment you provide them.

You first need to take a look at how a healthy relationship looks, and how can you achieve it. It is also a good start to develop a healthy relationship with yourself first. Try to ask yourself a few questions so you can get to the root of why you consider that you get too attached. For example, What are the factors that I recognize when I get too attached? Is it because I'm afraid of rejection? Did it start a long time ago? How can I revise what I think about relationships? Always remember that you are not alone in this. Sometimes it can be hard to seek help, but don't hesitate to. It feels like nobody would properly understand, but you will eventually get your desired answers. Take care!

humans are social beings and having attachments and establishing relationships is a key aspect of life, when your relationships are strong they help u grow as a person, so being attached to people is not a bad thing when it helps in your personal development and well being. altho being attached to people can hurt when they do not validate your space and boundaries and can hurt you, people are unpredictable, rather their behaviours are hard to understand and interpret sometimes and when this happens we regret having any attachments with them, but hey! its important to realise that we, ourselves have the power to choose who we get attached to, and we need to be wise enough to make rational decisions :)

Attachment theory explains why we behave the way we do when dating and in relationships - and can be especially comforting for those with anxious attachments, meaning you feel you get very emotionally attached to new people/partners easily and struggle to feel secure. Maybe you're thinking about texting them all the time, or are preoccupied with thoughts about how you wish they would validate your feelings. Although this can be very exhausting, it's very normal and common to feel this way. It's only really something to worry about if it becomes unhealthy and takes over your life.

Sometimes it's nice to feel wanted and to want someone but with that said, being attached to people isn't always healthy. Especially when it's toxic people who have a negative impact on our mind and well-being. I think it's important to first prioritise ourselves rather than letting someone else take over. Be sure about yourself, build your self-confidence and give yourself love. You need to take care of yourself the way you would a friend or a family member. Once you start to love yourself you'll start to also remove people who do not respect you or have any positive impact on your life because you won't stand for it anymore.

Getting attached to others is not always a bad thing; however, it can be if the person is not very well known to you, or has a low chance of committing to interactions with you. I think self-love and positive self-talk around attachment can be very helpful. When you are secure in yourself, you will learn to make more healthful attachments to others, and avoid getting overly involved too soon. I find that evaluating whether the attachment comes from a place of love and genuine connection, or from a fast-paced obsession for self-soothing is extremely important. Also, getting to know your own attachment style is important.

I think getting attached to people is normal. For example, when one feels gravitated towards someone else's character, it may be because s/he finds that trait admirable and worthy of emulation. What counts as an "unhealthy attachment" is perhaps when a person's life simply revolves around the other. Striking a good sense of balance will prevent both parties from "suffocating" each other and leaving some space for independent thinking and replenishment of energies. It goes by on a case to case basis and depending on the situation, a relationship with too much attachment, like anything with excess, may be prone to emotional fatigue, among others.

Attachment is an important part of being human. We have evolved to rely on and trust each other for survival. So when it comes to "people" as in "all the people in general", there is no way of avoiding attachment. However, if it's for specific people, the best thing to do is to remind yourself why you do not want to get attached to them (most likely because doing so will harm you in some way) and putting as much physical and emotional distance between the two of you as possible and seeking healthy relationships instead. Surround yourself with good people and healthy activities to keep your mind off of harmful attachments!

I keep myself from getting too attatched to people by creating room to focus on myself and my self care goals. In my experience sympathy can be just as powerful as empathy. It is important to realize that a member may be going through something, but it is also important to realize that it is okay to not let it deeply impact you. And if something that someone said is deeply impacting you then it is absolutely okay to seek help whether that be peer support from other listeners or therapy. It is also completely alright to realize that there may be times you need to step away for the sake of your own wellbeing.

To keep your self from getting attached to people, you should learn to accept life as it its. You should learn to accept that at the end of the day you only have yourself whom you can rely on truly. That no matter what happens you only have yourself whom you can entrust your own life. Learn to know yourself. Learn to be happy on your own. Don't look outside. It always starts from the inside. When you learn how to feel good about yourself and be contented in accompanying yourself, then it would help you accept that people come and go.
