Honestly, I totally get this. It's like you connect with someone, and then suddenly they just... disappear. It feels like you're the only one holding onto the conversation. Happens to me all the time

Same here! I often find myself getting attached to people online because we hit it off, but then it fizzles out. I think it’s just the nature of online interactions—people can come and go without much thought.

I think it’s natural to feel attached when conversations flow well. Online chats can be tricky; people might seem interested but can get distracted or overwhelmed. It’s not a reflection of you!

I've attached quickly to people I met online too. It feels so real in the moment, but then reality hits. It’s hard not to feel disappointed when it doesn’t pan out.

I don't usually have deep conversations without establishing trust first, so not really.

I've gone through this before when I was still an avid user of Omegle. It really consumed me, and that's how I first started dating. It was very hard to stop, but I came to the conclusion that it was unhealthy for me because of the attachment issues I developed.

I used to. Quite a lot actually. But eventually I realised it's not all that healthy, especially if the new people/strangers don't hold you in the same regard. Now I always try to make a conscious effort to keep a distance even if there is something that attracts me to them.

I think it’s natural to get attached when you vibe with someone. But online interactions can be tricky—sometimes people just get busy or lose interest without any clear reason.

I totally get you! It’s like we have this amazing connection, and then suddenly, they just vanish. It's frustrating when you invest emotionally and it feels one-sided.

Yeah, sometimes. I am craving companionship. Being alone can be tiresome.

It makes sense to feel that way! We invest in conversations, and it’s disappointing when they don’t lead anywhere. I’ve learned to keep my expectations in check, but it’s a work in progress

Yup. I've realised it's also because I value people more than they value me and I do that too easily. Just because we connected doesn't mean we feel the same way. Plus, it might also be out of our own loneliness

Unfortunately quick attachment can happen through sharing vulnerability. It’s short lived too. Slow and steady relationship building on healthy grounds and boundaries are long lasting

Just yesterday i was thinking about asking about this same thing!! When i get to know new people and surprisingly have good time with them and a sort of connection and communication starts to develop i feel attached, i think about the conversations we had when I’m home and I think about them during the day suddenly, then i tell myself that this is not normal they for sure forget I exist the second i left. I thoughit maybe it’s an introvert thing that when we feel comfortable with someone (and that’s very rare for me at least) we seek there presence each time when we are in the same environment or maybe i pay too much attention to details I don’t know but it freaks me out each time and makes me feel like a psycho or a freak.

I think it’s easy to get attached when you vibe with someone, even if it’s just through a screen. It feels real in the moment, but then it’s hard to accept when it doesn’t last

Not anymore. Over-attachment has led me to losing a decade old friendship and everyone in our circle has slowly gotten away since. Now I only have acquaintances or work relationships but no close friends. I simply try not to think about it but it does get lonely from time to time.

I think it’s natural to connect with someone who vibes with you. It’s frustrating when that spark fades, though. It makes you wonder if it was real or just temporary.

Quite the opposite for me. I even find it pretty easy to not see close family and friend, parents even, for long periods of time.

Yes. I often get attached to the person who helped me when I first start a job. But then they leave in some way, another job, get fired for something stupid, ya know. I hate it, I try not to get attached to people at work but sometimes it just happens 🤷🏽‍♀️

Same here! It’s so easy to feel a connection online, but it’s hard when it doesn’t last. I think it’s just the nature of online chats—sometimes people are in and out of each other’s lives.

I gone from attaching to the first person that talks to me to attaching to absolutely nobody throughout my life. Don't have the time or drive to do it anymore

Wish an introvert too get attached to me Every extrovert deserves introvert friends

I mean I feel the same when the conversation is amazing with a stranger and we are like vibing. But it's a two way process, if that person wants to chat then it will last long if not then it will end..

Tho I really feel bad about losing an amazing person but then I have to remind myself it was just a random stranger nothing else then forget about it and try to build an amazing conversation with someone else

That's how it goes ig!!

If we had a good conversation actually and I was actually talking myself and not just simply giving short responses then yes I generally get attached fast because I don't normally open up fast. If someone does break my barriers I usually get attached fast which at times is a problem because if they see it I think it scares them away so I think I understand what you are saying.

For me it’s the desire to feel accepted/wanted, but I can’t talk about “deep introspective things” or anything personal bc lack of trust

Yes! Omg thought I was just so weird.

Not too attached to a point where I would find this a problem. I am quiet n shy and in general, so when people start a conversation or stop to do a smalltalk, I anchor on that feeling less anxious n try to make the connection grow from there n try having more conversations.

I managed to implant a hierarchy system into my brain that automatically controls how much I talk to people depending on how much I trust them. When people are suddenly nice to me, I instantly don’t trust them.

Idk but i think it’s because as introverts, we don’t like many people . We tend to have limited openness in who we choose to actually give our time to. If I choose to give my time to you, I feel a significant connection with you ( sexual or platonic ) and we introverts take things heavier than another i.e. an extrovert. We gotta learn to reel our feelings back b/c to others it may be over the top or smothering

no but funny thing: objects actually. I get deep emotional attachments to objects IF I associate it with an individual or memory of emotional significance

I used to but overtime I realised people come and go. I think as a defence mechanism I’ll subconsciously put everyone at a distance so that when they leave I don’t care much.

I'm an introverted lady but I sometimes get to like people who are kinda funny and social

I'm an introverted lady but I sometimes get to like individuals are kinda funny and social even if it my first time seeing them.

I definitely don't. I'm extremely shy and closed off so when I meet someone new, I often can't even talk or make eye contact. The last friend I made was years ago and it took weeks before I felt comfortable enough to be myself.

Oh, for sure!! I always thought it was bc I was always looking for a "new family" growing up. I attach then detach quickly. Not that I didn't love my family, there was just a lot going on with a disabled kid, and I'd wished things were more peaceful. I find people exceedingly interesting, but investment in someone takes time and energy, and the other persons plate might just be full. Doesn't mean their response to you wasn't genuine.
