Does your attachment to your friends "make sense"? T is someone you have met who is helpful, why would you not feel good around that person in that situation? I've had attachments to bosses, miss my father-in-law as a person more than my father though both were wonderful men, both of whom I loved (both are deceased), who we are attracted to is not for making sense, it is for enjoying.But attachment to T feels much more emotional than my RL relationships. Maybe because she's only there occasionally?? Or what? I want it to make sense.

Feelings are information; Well, it's information I'm not able to decode yet. What good is information if it's not understood?they are your emotional eyes that tell you about how you relate to the world around you, the person in front of you, yourself. If you don't like T, you don't attach, you repulse and move away. Now go eat your vegetables, they're good for you No problem here, I love veggies
Although I understand that the emotional brain and the rational brain operate on different frequencies. But still, they can communicate with each other and share. So, all I want is for my emotional brain to be understood by my rational brain. If this made sense, I might be able to manage it better.
