Emotional state

I know that it's possible to be scared of being emotionally attached to people. So can you also be emotionally scared to be detached from people, is that a thing? Like not fear of abandonment but like fear of losing the ability to emotionally connect with people? Does that make sense? Like if I've lacked emotional attachment from the past and have a little emotional attachment now and when people leave me I fling myself at people to not lose the little bit of emotional attachment I have, but I'm scared to let people go because I'm attached to them and I'm scared I might not emotionally reattach to a person ever again..this sounds crazy I know but I can't really explain it

*** Just for instance***

I remember being afraid of not being able to emotionally attach when I was going through a particularly tough period. I had dated "detached' guys for too long prior also. And i'm from a family that I feel could do with being a little more "emotional" shall we say, something the Scots aren't known for. And I guess these particular arabs also. I'm seeing an American/Sicilian now and we are blissfully emotionally attached. Its amazing, and something I was thinking about this morning. Took me a while to come out of my shell but he waited 🙂 not that I didn't make the wait physically, mentally interesting for him. There was just a lack of emotion on my part. "Cap moon" I can hear some say 😉

I know what you mean and I do believe it is a legit fear to have.

Because think about it. you go through life seeing people in their 40's/50's and 60's not wanting a bar of emotional attachment because of what they've experienced in life.

And there you are, fearing that that is who you will become....

It makes complete sense.

girl, whut.

lol I know it sounds confusing but like being scared of not being attached to someone makes you even more attached to someone because you don't know if you'll have the opportunity to be attached to someone again
