easily attached emotionally

12-03-2010, 08:54 PM

I'm curious about experiences of those who find that they get easily emotionally attached to people they're attracted to or interested in, even if there is no friendship or relationship with the person. I've developed emotional attachments or bonds to people who i shouldn't think about in these terms simply because interacting with them created emotional intimacy especially in situations where i was able to be honest or feel relaxed with them, and they displayed a level of openness or honesty i've rarely experienced with anyone else.

So, anyone else has similar experiences?

I do not get easily emotionally attached so I cannot answer.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
