How does one inhance their emotional attachment to life and the people around them?

Question

I have a hard time getting emotionally involved with people.

They are nice to have around but if they all disappeard tomorrow ... I wouldn't really miss them. I'm jolly most of the time and even quite happy, but usually I'm alone and doing something that amuses me when I feel this way. People seem to bring nothing except expectations, failures to achieve something they demand of me, I have a hard time finding value in the company of most people. How can I change this?

Answer 1

Do you want to change this?

Why don't you participate in activities with people that have the same interests as you. Maybe you will find an attachment.

Answer 2

This sounds just like the guy I'm like in love with (I'm sure he knows.....)

He promised me he would have no emotional attachment to anyone when I met him.

Apparently, I'm an "amazing" enough person because he admitted to me that as much as he hates it, he has an emotional attachment to me. Small, but existant.

I was simply amazed because he always tell me if somebody he knew died tomorrow or if he saw them get killed, he wouldn't really care.

If he saw me get killed, or if I died, he wouldn't cry, but he would be slightly upset.

I'm still waiting to figure out how he really feels about me, and hopefully I'll find out soon.

So I guess you just have to find that one amazing person in your life that just changes everything. I'm glad I had to move out here, or else I would have never met him :]

Answer 3

You have yet to become more acquainted with others who have the potential to reveal the qualities capable of igniting your heart and mind with truth, love and understanding.



This cannot be achieved if you are not willing to take the incentive and become more open to opportunities around you right now despite the "disappointments" you may encounter along the way.

Perhaps if you were to make a change of attitude. Your expectations maybe unrealistic. Until you begin to make a choice to view the world through eyes of acceptance and tolerance rather then disapproval and contempt the barriers which presently hold u back cannot be lifted. Love is a choice, the decision is yours alone.
