If you feel as though you are lacking genuine connections in your life, attachment may feel like a good substitute
Attachment always comes with conditions, I think. Unconditional love is not present
I think relationships based on attachment, people are having some need or hole within seemingly filled by the other. “I need you.”
If someone wants to be and identifies as the helper then they will need a relationship where the other person needs help. If the other person no longer wants/needs help things can become uncomfortable if the helper doesn’t also change
Our attachments help to affirm or prop up our identities
Are any of my relationships completely free of attachment?
Can an attachment ever be positive? I think they may help for some time, but at the root they are based on something wanted or or something lacking
