I wanted to ask if anyone else feels this way.
I get attached very fast — not just in relationships, but to people, places, routines, work environments, even small things that become emotionally important to me.
For example, I have a colleague who will be leaving after a few months. We worked together, talked, laughed, discussed things regularly, but I never even considered them my “best friend” or anything extremely close. Still, the thought of them leaving genuinely affects me and makes me feel emotional.
It’s not only people either. I can get emotionally attached to work culture, familiar environments, routines, or things connected to certain memories.
Sometimes I wonder if this is normal emotional attachment, or if I just feel things too deeply compared to others.
Does anyone else experience this?
