My thoughts.  When I am attached to someone, I am attached only to my own mental image I have created of them. Only to my own brain chemicals.  One cannot be attached to a real person but only to their own mind. Isn't it true? What to do about this harsh truth? 📌 .......... I have been attached to many online people for short periods of time. don't know why on earth I get attached to people I dont even know and haven't even seen. And it hurts me a lot. (maybe bcz I'm lonely and I lack people in my life). Once I had a "severe" attachment to a real person in high school.  How to deal with the pain and hurt due to unwanted attachments? (I mean, the attachments in which the other person doesn't reciprocate the feelings.) 📌 The attachment wouldn't hurt me at all, if the other person reciprocated the feelings. It would be okay then.   what are your thoughts? @Xonas Pitfall  ............ How your brain 🧠 picks your crush?
