create limits to everything you do with that person. dont throw a blind trust to them, you can't trust someone too much.

I would start doing small or mundane activities on my own. I figured it's the best way to be comfortable with doing thing by myself without needing other people. Slowly an independent mentality will grow within.

Attachment is an automatic, natural process. Being too attached is not a bad thing, unless you are attached to the wrong people. In order to avoid being overly attached, you could spend less time with the person, or hand out with more different people, so that you wont have your mind set on one person. I hope this helps.

It's not really something you can control. People have feelings and some of them can't control their feelings because they care too much, I think time makes you learn from your own mistakes and makes you become more defensive over your own feelings.

Attachment, to me, is a wonderful thing. It shows that you have a big heart and you have the capacity to love and be committed to someone. That is an incredible thing. But sometimes getting too attached to people can lead to terrible heartbreak. I suggest widening your horizons, meeting other people that you can turn to for help when you do get hurt by someone you got attached to.

The way I keep myself from getting too attached to people is to clearly set my boundaries. Boundaries can be lines that you don't want to cross, such as contact with someone at all hours of the night or certain conversations that you agree are crossing a boundary for yourself. It's important to have these boundaries so that your concept of self remains intact and doesn't become enmeshed with others.

You can keep yourself from getting too attached to people by not taking things personal, don't get sucked in.

Getting attached to people is a natural part of life. It's a beautiful thing, to share our life with someone and have them share theirs with you. Attachment is risk, but without risk there can be no life and no progress! Attachment is a terrible, beautiful thing, but without it, where would we be?

Learn your boundaries, what you're willing to accept from the other person and for yourself. Remember people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

This is extremely difficult most of the time, as it involves having to stay away from people. However, this also doesn't always work, since as you may know, absence can make the "love" or attachment, rather, stronger. We get attached to people usually because we feel like we desperately need them. Try working on something else. Try to realize your self-worth. You don't need too many other people for this. Schedule activities to do alone, and have fun by yourself! This will help you feel less attached to somebody.
