hi bsox226,

thanks for being brave enough to share your talk about things that you are unsure about, can often help others to have the confidence to do the same and it’s only then they are able to get some support, so well done for that. It’s also great that you are so aware of what’s going on for you.
I’d like to say that developing attachments in the way you describe is understandable, especially when someone is treating you kindly and with respect and giving back the love. At the same time, it sounds like you find it quite strange.

it's a good idea to think about boundaries with people who you don’t know very well. What I mean by this is that it is important to learn quite a bit about someone before getting too attached or close. Very sadly, not all people are as honest as we would like and this is why is it wise to be careful and think seriously when we feel keen to give and receive affection.
