Strong attachment is part of being human. Sometimes it feels bigger or scarier than expected.
things that can play a part:
- Normal human reactions
- Bonding is wired into us, especially in new relationships.
- Trauma
- Past loss or inconsistent care can make closeness feel urgent.
- Mental-health conditions
- Intense attachment and fear of abandonment are discussed in BPD, anxiety and attachment-related difficulties.
- Stress
- Under pressure, people often lean harder on those they trust.
These are possibilities in general, not explanations of your experience. A professional can help sort out what applies.
