anyone had any experience with prolonged isolation and then "getting back in the game", so to speak? what about easily developing strong emotional attatchments to people fairly quickly?

one of my issues is that im a people pleaser. i thinl i put a little too much weight into how other people are feeling in correlation to my own mood or security. not the most stable arrangement, to say the least.
Just take everything very slowly... you are very possibly projecting your longing to be close to someone.

I'm recently single after 5 years and find it hard to not get attached quickly when I go out with a guy... but by keeping my emotional distance I'm finding it easier but yes I still get lonely because of it. I don't want a rebound relationship or to be sucked into someone elses life right now - I have enough to deal with finding myself.

Focus on you and learning to please yourself (yep if you are like me it feels very selfish!) but it's a step in the right direction
