What is this? What is wrong with me?

Question

For some reason I often get kind of attached to people. Like emotionally attached. Like I'll get attache to like one of my teachers and will trust them and will tell them lmost anything. Is this like some sort of attention seeking thing or something? I have some friends but not alot. I don't really get along with people very well. No one really notices me anyway.

Answer 1

This doesn't sound like a mental health issue. i think what is wrong with you is that you are too mature for your age. Being attached to people shows the love you have in your heart. If you feel it is becoming a problem ask your guidance council er to recommend you a person to talk to. If you can get a councilor out of school it may be more beneficial, you will probably feel more comfortable knowing fellow classmates are not around.
I think eventually people will grow into you and then you will be able to connect with them better. things change after high school and you usually don't talk to many of the people that you used to. Believe me life gets better after high school.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

All you have written reminds me of how I felt in school. I always felt so lost and disconnected from those around me. I wanted desperately to fit in with those my age but always found myself frustrated by what they had to say. I found their conversations so immature. I wanted to talk about things that mattered. In my year I was friends with everybody but friends with nobody. I always got by however by finding just one person who I would attach myself to for a period of time. After leaving school I went from one person to the next. I am now 26 years old and have come to learn (through therapy) that I had co/dependancy issues. Also, I've been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Please know that in saying this I am in no way insinuating that you have depedancy issues or a mental illness. However, if you feel lost and think that there may be something wrong, don't be afraid to seek help. Your school counsellor would be a good first step or even the teacher that you say you are attached to. Good luck. Oh and by the way, people do notice you, it's just that you're not looking to see them.

Answer 3

you are starving for attention a lot. There is a kid at the school where I go for work, and she does that. People run away from her because she is to clingy Maybe the reason you don't get along with people because of the clingy. Try making friends, but don't be too anxious. Do not tell all your personal business unless it is a matter of life and death, because it will be use against you in the present and future.

Answer 4

you focus your affections and attentions on others because you have little affection or respect for yourself. This is likely the reason you have few friends, no one wants to actually be with someone that has a poor self image, they get tired of having to constantly cheer you up.
suggest you get counselling to find out why you have such a poor self image and a plan for improving it.

Answer 5

We all have a deep need for someone we can depend on and tell our innermost thoughts to and totally disclose ourselves and be totally loved and accepted. Unfortunately, the only one that can totally handle responsibility is God. We expect people to do what onlly God can do. "My God shall supply all your needs (body, soul and spirit) according to his riches in glory." People can only supply a few needs here and there. If you get your expectations right with people, you will enjoy healthy relationships.
