I could post on some other forum, but I've always liked the advice I got here, so even though this isn't 100% perfect for TDS, I think it's close enough. Warning: I'm very very tired while I'm typing this so I apologize if it's hard to follow or there are any mistakes.
I have a habit of getting overly attached to people that don't even like me that much. Sure some of them like talking to me I'm sure, but probably 8/10 people I talk to regularly I'm sure don't care or think about talking to me or hanging out with me or anything of the sort when they go home. That's not the part I have an issue with, I'm fine with that. Another problem is I get attached to them really easily. If I see someone once or twice, I might get depressed if I never see them again. That isn't normal. Most people wouldn't even think about the person again. I get being sad for something like going from high school to college and having to basically find an almost entirely new set of friends. But I don't think it's normal to be so bothered by people that don't like me a lot leaving my life.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can stop depending half of my happiness on acquaintances? I think life in general would be more enjoyable if I could think of them the way I should and not as people to rely on like that.
