I do the same with certain people. Most of the time I'm pretty closed. I don't like to allow myself to become too close, I guess as my own defense mechanism.
I think attachment scares people. I'm not sure why. I try not to let myself become emotionally attached to anyone too soon. That keeps me from getting heart broken. You can't keep yourself bottled up completely or you will explode.
Geez. That is beyond crazy. I know you've worked there for what, 4 years? But even so, I would still never get used to it being like that, I think i'd have a mental breakdown if I had to work there during that. haha
I do believe that losing a close family member can cause attachment issues. Im the exact opposite when it comes to trying to get someone to stuck around. I don't mean to, but i tend to push everyone away before they have the chance to hurt me. I've beenvthat way since my dad pulled some dumb shit when i was eight. I don't speak to him or anyone in his side if the family because they're just hateful people. Guess that's why im so quick to jump to my own defense. Everyone deals with situations in their own manor and if that's what makes you comfortable then why change. Be yourself and if someone doesn't like that then they're missing out in getting to know the real you.
That's the way to be! I've come to terms with losing my father. Actually it was his loss, but it has given me some problems. Thank you for the sweet comments btw. Most guys won't openly admit to being attached. There's nothing wrong with admitting it either. But you're right, you should never have to change yourself for someone else, unless it's some horrible addiction, or something that's physically hurting you or others. Are you close with the rest of your family?
