i dont know what my deal is! does anybody else have this problem?

I don't know why i do this, but it seems like every time i get into a relationship i start getting attached quickly. If a day goes by and i dont talk to them, or see them, i start questioning their feelings for me. My perception of them and myself gets messed up. I over analyze some things they say. i hardly ever talk to the other person about these feelings though because i KNOW they are over exaggerated, and would make me seem clingy and needy but i dont know how to stop myself from feeling them anyway. I know its not that i need them to be happy, because when im not in a relationship, i feel happy regardless, maybe a little bit lonely at times, but i can function perfectly fine. How can i stop doing these things and chill out??

    Well for beginners.... breathe in and breathe out!!!! Really slowly! Feel better?

    And next, just stop the destructive thinking. Believe a guy if he likes you... until he says otherwise it's not true. You'll know... if you haven't heard from him in a week... he wasn't interested, but is that REALLY the end of the world? Are you interested in EVERYONE you go out with. Even some nice good looking guys aren't my type!

    So, give yourself a break, and chill out and ENJOY the ride! Enjoy the date, enjoy the next phone call, and relinquish control!

    good luck!

    Let's see... maybe you need to occupy your time. If you do other things like going out with your friends or going shopping with family you won't think about him as much. It's best that you don't talk to your significant other everyday because you both will eventually get tired of each other, quick. You want the sparks to stay in your relationship as long as possible, and it takes time apart to keep {sparks}.

    If he doesn't talk to you that day it doesn't mean he hasn't thought about you. It just means that he wanted to take time out with some of the other important people in his life. Everyone needs some 'me' time.

    I never had a problem with having to talk to someone everyday because I am pretty wishy washy myself and the guy I like only calls me maybe once a month [lol]....so feel very special that you aren't me.!. GooD LucK

    you need a break from relationships. you are happy alone, but not totally comfortable just being yourself. spend some time without any relationship, and just chill. get toknow yourself a little more, and get comfortable with being yourself no matter what anyone says. then, you will be yourself in a relationship. also, when you do start back in relationships remind yourself, even if you have to write a note and tape it to the mirror, that you lived before without them, and it's no big deal to not get attatched quickly. remind yourself you are fine on your own anyway, so there is no need to rush..

    I'm the exact opposite of you. When I get in a relationship, I worry that we're too attached too quickly so I start to push them away...

    I would say you just need to relax and don't worry about what they think of you. If they didnt like you, they wouldnt be going out with you. You don't have to see/talk to them every day either. They'll still like you on Thursday even if you havent talked to them since Tuesday afternoon... And if they don't, it wasnt meant to be anyway.

    i used to have the same problem i was extremely attached to this one guy and i was nuts crazy when we were togather but then i decided to take a break to see if that would help and it did so we decided to just be friends but now ive been with the guy for 2 yrs and i have over came that and trust me you will over come it, it just takes time to overcome what i suggest is take a break and see if it helps then make your decision from there
