Been without one of those people I legitimately care about for a couple months now, and just found somebody that's filling that vacancy again. As in, I JUST started talking to this person very recently, and I already feel like I'm getting too attached. How do I know? Because I'm already having those anxieties, and fears of abandonment, when we've hardly been talking for a week now. Like, we literally just got off the phone an hour ago, and I'm already starting to get those thoughts that tell me I fucked up somehow. I know I didn't, everything was fine, we were both pretty happy, and I KNOW these feelings are coming from nowhere, I KNOW that they're irrational, but they're shouting so loud that I can't think straight. Why does this happen to me? Would it be better if I just avoid attachment at all? I know what I'm scared of, I'm scared of going back to the empty place, but at the same time this constant paranoia and self doubt is making me scream inside. I hate this.
