I think I am attached to T - he says it's a "young" (new) attachment.

For me:
I long to be with him
I miss him when we are apart
I am willing to let him see the most vulnerable parts of me
I trust that he won't hurt me
I feel safe and loved in his presence

It's an almost painful feeling for me - very tender and vulnerable. It's something I didn't have growing up...someone who makes me feel safe and loved. We go back and forth and back and forth - my fear of letting myself be that vulnerable makes me pull back and put up walls, just as my default. And then he reaches out again and shows me that he is real, and that I can trust him, and the attachment comes back. It feels good and bad at the same time...but it feels like what I NEED, and I'm grateful that he is so solid and loving and patient and that as an adult, I'm finally getting something I've always needed, way way deep down.
