Attachments

Attachment scares me. Be it love, friendship or any bond, it does scare me because I am not someone who gets attached to everyone. I mean yea people do affect me but it's not everyone whom I am emotionally attached with. When I get attached to someone,

I really do get attached. And it's barely 2-3 people in my life with whom I am this attached and it scares the shit out of me at times. Because getting emotionally attached to someone for me is giving my all. I am happier when they are happy, I get sadder than them when they are sad, I am excited for their achievements and everything in between. It's like their mood affects mine. And I do create this little world of mine around them. And it scares me because I am afraid of losing people. Like very afraid. I know you can't always hold onto people so I just hope for them to be there always but that fear never leaves.

The constant anxiety of being replaced, forgotten or abandoned never leaves. I am still a kid at heart when it comes to attachments because I don't know how to create boundaries with people I love. It's like how a kid is attached to its teddy. I keep giving and giving unless and until i am completely drained. And as much as I have no problem in doing so

because people do mean a lot to me, a part of me wants to be treated the same way and not left behind for someone else every time. I do take bonds seriously because that's all I have known my entire life, to love unconditionally.
