"Perhaps you simply have a significant degree of loneliness that has resulted in your extensive emotional attachment to your relatives?"
Most definitely. I can hardly find any trust in others, as they can be judgmental of me in a way that my mom and sis wouldn't be.
"Although it's certainly understandable, It's important to have a durable realization that any sudden occurrences could result in unexpected and potentially life-altering effects and thus I would suggest that you attempt to maintain a positive relationship with them while making sure to prevent yourself from becoming too psychologically dependent on them."
That's excellent advice, Anony. I've been doing more and more on my own because I want to follow that advice, becoming more independent. I'll occasionally give a family member a hug before they leave because my best friend died a few years back and I was too hasty to see him go home when he spent the night over. I've learned to value people more through that experience. |
