Do you easily get attached to a person or you let go easily?

Question

Can be any form of relationships..

NathanDavis · Accepted Answer

neither... as the two are extreme takes and approaches, I usually am more balanced than that

"attached" is an interesting concept, and I don't think I see it this way... I do connect with people yes, and this can happen easier and quicker or it can take a longer time, but these connections and bonds always vary in intensity... and it is not always from 0 to 99 in every single case

these things are about compatibility and affinity but also... the circumstances and the context, so I don't think so no... I do not just get "attached" permanently to someone, not in a "needy" way which is how it can sound to me when people say "easily attached"

as for the other part "letting go easily" I do not get a positive connotation to this either... nothing is easy with people nor with these situationships either... people and life, are both complex and complicated, not easy...

the more you care for someone and the closer you get with someone the less "easy" things are going to be... sure, things seem more fun and way better and greater when you get along easier with people, but that doesn't mean all other things around are easy too, lol... dedication takes time and effort and it goes both ways too

things are never so simple

I'm both. I get easily attached, whether it's friendship or dating. When there are a lot of qualities I like in someone, I always like chilling with them. But when someone goes their own way in life, leaves or ghosts me, I'm not the type to dwell on it much. It means they didn't value me being in their life as much as I valued them being in mine.

And I'm really accepting of the fact that life is like a train. You're on that train from the start all the way to the end destination. Some people get on at certain times and will get off at some point. It's very rare to find people that will stay on until the end with you. But it's okay to grow attached to others in the process even if they are there temporarily.

Live and love. It's better to have lived and loved than never loved at all. The joy that you get from experiencing things with loved ones in what makes life worthwhile. It trumps all the pain from losing them. Never build up an emotional wall just because someone hurt you. It will prevent yourself from the potential love and joy you could have with others.

I attach easily but when I’m done I’m done. I will fight for us but when I’m exhausted, i detach and then move on quickly. I dont mind being single but im not gonna miss out on opportunities. My feelings for a person can only last a week or two after we’ve ended. No matter how much i loved them

I can do both really. That's one thing my adhd does to me as far as crushes or relationships go. I can get attached pretty strong. But also after a breakup I can move on fairly quickly. It's rough for a couple of days but I can normally move past it quicker than most.

I unfortunately like most things fall in the opposite direction of most people. Call it weakness or insecurity whatever you’d like but I do get attached very easily. Once a girl that I’m pursuing shows interest in becoming a couple, my dumbass puts all the eggs in one basket. Im all in. Always been that way. Completely loyal and don’t even look at other woman. Which is probably why I can’t find a girlfriend to save my life so to speak.
and in that attachment I build us up bigger in my head so when she leaves. And she will leave. They all leave. I take it pretty hard , it’s an abandonment feeling. It sucks. Like 3 months of healing time. Is what it is.

I walk a line of appreciating the friends I have and I prefer having them in my life, but I do not care too much if we stopped being friends. I have a wall built up and I do not let people through, since life is simpler that way.

I get attached very slowly... but even if I was attached, in love and in a committed relationship, if there was a major breach of trust I would prefer to let go as soon as possible and have my time to heal and recover.

I think younger I did , then with age it does change , when things happen quickly ( as they did recently ) and you become more skeptical.. So , I ticked somewhere in the middle.

Al_Musafir · Answer

Somewhat in between. Easy come, easier go. I don't have an issue with getting along with people. But if they go away once, I make sure it's their last time then and there.

AmandaYVR · Answer

I don't get attached to many, but when I feel deeply, I don't let go easily.

Apple1996 · Answer

Its basically impossible for me to get attached to anyone. I just have a hard time trusting people

Starrrboy · Answer

I'd say somewhere in the middle... I get attached quite easily if I really like the person but when I decide it's over.. it's over, no matter how good the memories we had together..

Yes, I get easily attached to a woman.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I let go easily. If she doesn't want to be with me or vice versa, I move on.
