I'm well aware I'm overly attatched to someone. I was hoping that there could be a video soon on how to deal with such feelings because this is something I'm desperately struggling with as I'm someone who struggles with being by myself, etc. and kind of rely on others a bit more than I should.

I had these signs with a favorite person, and eventually the fear of abandonment became so bad that I decided to abandon them first. It was a very painful end to a friendship that meant a lot to me.

As someone with anxious attachment I’m always worried if I’m being to clingy with my partner and I’m well aware how that can be too much and even overwhelming your videos help remind me that most of the time I’m doing good about not being too much but instead should remember to try being more affectionate and open with them. Thank you! 😊

Edit: It’s nice seeing people who struggle with the same things as you. Even if you don’t experience it the same way it’s nice relating to others.

Avoiding alone is something I tried doing. Nothing really hurts more than being lonely.

i have to admit that im an overly attached person.sometimes i chat someone and they dont message back for a few weeks days or hours i get really worried and anxious, sometimes i know they're a red flag yet i still dont want to believe that cause i thought that there just busy so i just cant just believe right away that there a red flag..

I just left a friend because of this. She felt less like a friend and more like a parole officer.

I am/was overly attached to someone. I knew it was a problem, one made worse by the fact she was the one person I knew well enough to open up to. Fortunately, I never told her how I felt about her (she was with someone else), and following a year of doctor's visits, consultations with the psychologist, antidepressants and removing myself from her social circles (temporarily), I feel like I'm getting better. I don't feel fixed, but I'm better than I was.

I was REALLY attached to someone and then we had a break and I went crazy and cried all the time, we came back to each other but now we have fully broken up and it's not that bad.

Yeah this was me in my last relationship. I'll not repeat this ever again

I feel like I struggled with this for a while and when my first major relationship was broken off I felt so alone and helpless. I‘ve been through a few relationships since then but they haven’t ended well and now I’ve been single for the longest time since I first started dating. I’m honestly terrified to date again because I worry about getting too attached to people. Just been working on myself and making myself happy in the meantime.

Saw the notification and read the title that I actually needed to talk about while on another Psych2Go video about crushes. ❤️

Wow this was confirmation of the progress I’ve made in my healing and this makes me sooo happy, hopeful and relieved!🙏🏾 I’ve been guilty of all of these in every past relationship, and I started wondering if I was doing the same thing in my current one (which i really want to last) so this helped a lot.

I also felt this many times in my relationship before it was done. I gave her alll because in my mind making her happy makes me happy so i did everything for her but after 5 years of doing that she never efforted at all i ask for comfort none she always gaslight me for something i never did but my answer to that was simply to push myself and do more efforts till she will love me like how i love her. This slso has been helpful to me

My friend is nice but she’s hurt me so much, yet I stay with her. Another friend said I have attachment issues so I watched this

Having some unhealthy habits doesnt mean you need to break up but work towards developing a healthier way of loving

Hi PHI, I just wanted to tell you that your team has helped me understand myself, and understand others, thank you ❤

[stuffbuddy]

Thanks, I really needed this video. Ive been having issues with overattachment with a certain person, and it's been taking a toll on me. But i didnt know how bad I actually had it until now. I tick all the boxes of the points you've brought up.

The relationship is so unbalanced. I put so much time and effort in supporting her and trying to look after her needs, but she just doesn't do the same. It hurts so much knowing she doesnt care about me as much as I do about her. Thanks for the video. It's time I start getting over her.

Yep, just out of a relationship where I was overly attached, this video helps me understand what I was doing but now need to fix myself to stop repeating it.
