Communicate with other people too

If you are too attached to a person of the opposite sex, to a friend or girlfriend, then the only way to get rid of and get rid of attachment to a person is to start communicating with many people. When your attention and energy is concentrated on one person, then accordingly most of you to be in the person to whom you are attached. Started talking with a large number people, you will divide your energy, in parts, which will allow you to no longer become attached to anyone, since your energy, thoughts, are scattered on all people, and not on one.

Find your joy in life

You need to communicate with people, but, feeling inside yourself happiness and joy independent of others, you will never be upset and suffer.

Find another love

This will allow you to get rid of one person and become attached to the one who is attached to you, then your relationship will never fall apart and will last forever.

Learn to relax and meditate

Become more cheerful

You need to start smiling more often, laughing and enjoying life, because it is not eternal. Attachment is connected with the fact that you are not able to please and amuse yourself. Learn to do this and then you will get rid of attachment to a person and everything else. After all, everything you need to be successful and happy life stored inside us, in the subconscious. Learn to communicate with yourself and then you will always be in a good mood and will be attached to yourself, and not to others.

But remember, by nature, all people are interconnected by thin threads and tied to each other by strong and powerful ropes of common energy, so it makes no sense to live alone, communicate, help your neighbor, love, appreciate and respect everyone around you, then you will notice that that it is your environment that changes as soon as you change.

There is no love without affection, but not all affection is a sign of love. How to get rid of attachment to a person, if there are no more feelings besides her?

Attachment to inanimate object or phenomenon of the world (things, house, habits) is recognized as such. If a person says: “This is my favorite jacket”, and it will be clear to him and those around him that this is not love, but affection.

It is much more difficult, and sometimes it is simply impossible to distinguish love on your own. to a person from attachment to him. Unless attachment to another individual is a symptom of some mental disorder(for example, Adele's syndrome), it is difficult to find the sign by which it becomes clear that attachment has become excessive.

It is even more difficult to get rid of attachment. Even realizing that relationships cannot be called love in any way and it would be worth breaking the “vicious circle” a long time ago, this is not easy to do. When a person is tied, it is as if something is holding him against his will.

How often do people confuse love and love addiction! You can live years in a delusion, and once waking up you realize that all this time there was a stranger nearby, but who became a “drug” without which it is impossible to live.

A strong love attachment is like any other dependencies(from alcohol, nicotine, gambling and computer games, other). Another person becomes an object of dependence because it is a source of pleasure, satisfies needs, contributes to an illusory feeling of well-being, harmony, happiness, or simply is a habit without which it is difficult to imagine existence. The presence of a loved one nearby becomes the “dose” that is needed daily.

When there is an idea in the mind that without a person life will lose its meaning, and the understanding that sooner or later you still have to part with him is absent or denied, a painful attachment is on the face.

People are always attached to family, friends and loved ones. If there were no affection in love, perhaps there would be no institution of the family, a man and a woman would not consider it necessary to be faithful to each other, mothers would not take care of their children.

Nature itself ordered that people get used to and become attached to each other. Everything is not too romantic and even quite prosaic - a person needs to have a connection with his own kind in order to survive and continue the human race.

Everyone wants to be loved, so that there is someone nearby who will understand, support, help, console, and who can also give their love.

AT human body there is a hormone responsible for tender affection - oxytocin. It is called one of the hormones of calm love. This hormone is essential element the formation of the initial relationship "mother-child" in a woman immediately after childbirth.

Scientists argue that without oxytocin, a man and a woman would end the relationship immediately after the first stage of the relationship (the stage of violent love and passion) passed, and the child who was born during this period of time turned out to be useless.

So, attachment to a person should be considered in two hypostases:

• affection as an integral part of love,
• attachment as a painful addiction.

The difference between affection and love

Painful attachment can be characterized as "symbiosis". Symbiosis- a form of relationship in which one partner or both benefit from each other.

Wanting to constantly be close to the partner and doing everything to become one with him, dependent partner forgets about himself.

Being too attached to someone, an adult loses his individuality. Each of the partners should have personal space and freedom of action (but not developing into permissiveness). This is beneficial not only for the individual, but also for relationships. "Merging" with a partner, you can stop being for him interesting personality, thereby depriving relations of development and dooming them to death.

Unlike love, attachment to a partner, which is a dependency, characterized:

• obsessive thoughts and a desire to be with your loved one all the time;
• passion only for the external data of the partner and physical attraction to him;
• inconstancy of interest (a person is either very interesting or almost indifferent);
• the suddenness of the acute feeling of lack of a loved one nearby;
• obstacles on the way personal development and growth due to loss of interest in anything other than the partner's personality;
• an obstacle to the emergence positive feelings to other people;
• a significant narrowing of the circle of communication;
• an acute experience of separation, leading to a depressive state;
• quarrels for the sake of quarrels, and not for the sake of finding compromises and finding constructive solution problems;
• lack or difficulty in making plans for the future;
• focus on meeting their own needs and requirements.

If all thoughts, actions, interests are connected with a loved one, and actions performed “in the name of love” harm other areas of life, we can talk about a deep symbiotic attachment.

It should be noted that at the beginning of a relationship (during the candy-bouquet period), the state of obsession with a person is normal and necessary for the emergence of a healthy attachment to him. The only difference is that a loving person “builds” personal relationships into his life, and a painfully attached one replaces it with them.

If you are unfortunate enough to become attached to the wrong person, we recommend reading the books by I. Korchagina “Forget him in 8 days! How to get rid of attachment to the wrong man and find happiness ”and“ How to survive unhappy love ”

Fighting attachment

It is not easy to get rid of attachment to a person, as well as from any other addiction. Most likely, it will be hard and painful, and thoughts about returning to the previous model of behavior will not give rest.

Sometimes it is difficult to throw away old broken furniture, to say nothing of weakening the connection with a person. If this connection brings only harm and pain, it is better to break the relationship altogether. But if the relationship is great, you just need to adjust your behavior and change the way you think.

With the problem of painful attachment to a loved one, they often turn to psychologists. An experienced specialist will help to understand the problem and contribute to its resolution. You can try to get rid of attachment to a person on your own.

Tasks to put in front of you:

• become an independent, full-fledged person;
• to be in a relationship not because “I can’t live without him”, but because “I love him”.

Psychologists recommend follow this procedure:

1. Define that attachment is a painful addiction and not just a component of love. This can be done based on knowledge of the signs of affection.
2. To figure out, which is the dependency object. What is in a loved one or what aspect of the relationship with him is that “drug” without which it is impossible to live? You will have to start to slowly limit yourself in this. So you can reduce not only dependence, but also prevent manipulation by a partner. The main thing is not to rush.
3. Find fear, which makes you "cling" to a person. Answer the question: “Why am I so afraid of losing him?” and deal with that fear.
4. Realize that everything in the world is coming, there is nothing eternal and unchanging. A person comes into the world alone and also leaves. You cannot bind a person to yourself, you can only love a person, respecting independence.
5. work above inner freedom. Get rid of shackling fears, stereotypes, self-doubt, reveal the boundaries of opportunities, abilities, choice of actions.

As a rule, all those goods which, directly and figuratively, gives a loved one, you can:

• find in yourself or learn to create on your own;
• receive from another person, object, activity, and so on.

But the dependent does not see such opportunities, believes that only this partner is a source of benefits, and therefore is afraid of losing him.

Such a blessing, which is seen as vital as air, usually turns out to be love another person. That is why people who do not love themselves and believe that no one else will love them become very attached to the very first person who falls in love with them, or at least speaks of love.

If you always look for the source of happiness in outside world, including in another person, attachment and fear of loss will always arise. Happiness- this is a state of mind, it is inside, not outside. Only this inner feeling happiness is permanent, does not cause addiction, gives freedom, harmony, peace and opens the way to selfless love.

Such interpersonal attachments can be of different nature: once worldly, and sometimes psychological attachment. Worldly attachment is attachment to the usual comforts and circumstances of life, sometimes unwillingness to strain oneself with discomfort and trouble in the event of a departure. “Why don’t you leave, it’s hard for you to be with each other? - Where will I go alone with the child? I have nowhere to go, no apartment, no money to rent an apartment either.” More interesting is the psychological attachment - the connection between people, manifested either in the desire for constant and a sense of security next to some person, or in pain from the loss of intimacy or fear of such a loss.

Most known species psychological attachment- this, as, however, and reverse option mother's attachment to the child. As the child matures, one should distinguish between the child's affection for the mother and the child's love for the mother. The more children become adults, the more love and less affection should be in the relationship.

Psychological attachment can be both healthy and sick. Healthy (conditional) attachment is a close emotional connection when it is needed, and the ability to easily end the attachment when it is irrelevant. If attachment ceases to be soft, when the absence of the object of attachment already causes pain, one already speaks of a sick attachment. - a rigid psychological connection, when even the idea of ​​existence without an object of attachment causes fear and pain, breaking at the level of the soul. All the more difficult are the experiences in the case when a person is deprived of the object of his sick attachment ...

In cases where attachment turns into something that deprives a person of any freedom, we are already talking about, for example, addiction to alcohol or drugs.

Once again, let's go through the concepts: I'm used to apples for breakfast and eat without noticing them - this simple habit. I'm used to it and I want apples for breakfast - this is already attachment as a kind of habit. I can’t have apples, I scold myself, but I eat apples for breakfast - this is an addiction. Attachment is like glue - if the glue is like Velcro, it's a light attachment. If the glue grabbed tightly and you have to tear it off with blood, this is an addiction.

Indeed, psychological attachment is formed primarily as, simply as a result of ongoing contact, that is, the repetition of significant experiences. If people who previously did not know people begin to live next to each other and relationships develop between them, over time these relationships almost inevitably develop into affection.

Women, entering into a close relationship with an attractive man, usually initially gravitate towards relationships with attachments, to the WE family, while on the part of a man, fear and desire for a more distant, freer relationship of I plus I are more often manifested. Wise Women, those who know nature attachment, “dutifully” agree to the relationship I plus I, and sometimes they slyly offer them to especially cautious men, they know the main thing: over time, everything ...

If people are indifferent to each other, then attachment between them is not formed even with a long time of contact. Hostile people paradoxically also become attached to each other (see), psychological attachment occurs most quickly in relationships where the background is mutually positive attitude alternates with bright moments of negative outbreaks. The longer the relationship lasts and the brighter the experiences that accompany it, the faster the attachment arises and the stronger it becomes.

Small additions of discomfort from the loss of intimacy increase attachment, but in large doses, attachment either destroys or transforms it into a sick attachment format.

As a habit, psychological attachment is formed gradually, but it is not uncommon for attachment to arise almost instantly, according to the anchoring mechanism. In the animal world, this is a phenomenon human life- this is at first glance ... It is important to understand that for people such anchoring works only in the case special condition human, namely hormonal support, internal psychological mood(“her soul was looking for him”) and a specific philosophy of life, where love affection is one of the main life values. Than in more a person lives at the level, the more often and easier he (she) becomes attached. A person-person with a developed mind and will allows only those attachments in his life that are useful, and stops attachments that are not needed.

Attachment is experienced in a variety of ways - as a feeling of closeness, as love, as a feeling of burden, as imprisonment, as fear. Often affection takes the form of love: we take care not to lose and obey, so that they do not get angry with us and do not move away from us. Indeed, strong psychological attachment is very similar to love, and in life they are easily confused, especially since we can have both love and attachment to the same person at the same time. In addition, we are dependent on the one to whom we are attached, and therefore, being afraid of losing him, we are forced to take care of him. And then attachment really turns out to be very similar to love, turning out to be love in a voluntary-compulsory version.

love affection - special kind psychological attachment, usually with features of sick attachment, and even dependence on the object of love. Main feature love affection is not joy and not care associated with the object of love, but love suffering, with which a person is tormented when, and when.

Smart people they themselves are happy to become attached to what will support them in life, as well as to those people with whom communication is joyful or useful. At the same time, when tying themselves, they prefer not rigid, but conditional attachment, arranged like a carbine for climbers: when necessary, we are securely tied. If a halt and it is better to be free, the carbine snaps off and we are free.

Attachments are good as long as you need each other and your attachments are not sick, soft, rather playful. If in a relationship your partner shows a tough, painful attachment to you, then this situation is dangerous.

The Meaning and Nature of Sick Attachments

Sick attachments are a forced substitute for love in those who do not know how to love and are not inclined to learn. The mechanism of sick attachment ensures the forced stability of relations, tolerance and even cooperation between people.

I can hardly imagine how it is possible to squeeze out love for someone from an ordinary, that is, spiritually poor and spiritually stingy person. Care and responsibility are in the red, warmth is in short supply, only vanity and affective outbursts around an eternally wounded self-esteem are in abundance.

Tenderness as an emotional outburst is possible, sentimentality as back side ordinary cruelty - please, but love, as always - and generously - warmth and care coming from the soul - well, where did it come from ?!

The bitterness lies in the fact that without mutual care and attention, the bodies and souls of people wither and wither.

Of course, mutually beneficial mental and physical exchanges are possible. When the exchanges are intense and there is a feeling that you are not being fooled, the Unfortunates talk with delight about happy mutual love. But the poor are suspicious, and the fear that “I give more and receive less” gives rise to claims, against which “love” immediately begins to sour and tragically bursts.

How to make spiritual cooperation stable, on what to keep saving islands of mutual assistance? Wise Nature found a way out here too, creating attachments.

Attachments are a very wise design of nature. Attachments are ropes with which a little man is tied to other Wretches for sore spots (in this case, they receive the title of “Kind and Friends”) and to some things or events (then they are called “Holy Places”). Of course, freedom of movement is limited, but it's good that a comrade does not disappear - and that he is manageable.

For example, a drunkard lives on the floor below us. He has a family, but he has neither love nor affection for her. So he walks without a rudder and without sails, and there is no justice for him. And if he were attached to the family - then he would be at home, he would always be at his peg, and would not twitch. Because if he starts to twitch, attachments will hurt him.

Who does not believe, tie yourself to some tender place, let's say, to the handle of the door and try to twitch somewhere strongly. But don't do it.

Actually, the more tender or painful this place of the soul is, the more expensive the attachment is. The sickest attachments (and therefore the strongest) are among those whose whole soul is beaten and.

Unfortunately, after some time, completely broken pieces of the soul die off and then there is no love or affection left. Excessive pain no longer gives rise to affection, but.

Such a sweet sick affection...

Such sick attachments are in those who do not know how to love and are not inclined to learn. The mechanism of sick attachment ensures the forced stability of relations, tolerance and even cooperation between people.

Sometimes sick attachments replace not the absence of love, but the absence. When older people have lost all interest in life, the soul becomes empty and cold ... To occupy the soul with experiences, you can watch TV shows, or you can worry about children - any experiences occupy the space of the soul and create the appearance of the meaning of life ...

And it all starts with games and entertainment. Small children always want to have their mother with them as their favorite toy, a young mother herself has fun with her child, as the most beloved and long-awaited toy. Now, when mom left the room, the child screams: “Mom, don’t leave, I’m scared (bad, bored) without you!”, And mom runs with pleasure and joy to the child who needs her, who is happy for her. Happiness! However, games and entertainment are gradually turning into interpersonal manipulation games. Slowly, the son learns a lesson: if you strive to get the closeness of the right person, it should be painful and scary in your soul. A bad childhood habit arises: to suffer and play on suffering, as a result of which the tired, compassionate mother drags a five-year-old whim with her last strength, and her son habitually whimpers. And both cannot live without each other.

It happens that sick attachments arise on the basis of emotional anchoring. Curiously, calm warm relationship without pain, they do not leave such a mark in the soul as the relationship is bright, even painfully bright. Paradoxically, the presence of some pain in a relationship, giving them an additional emotional shake-up, makes them stronger, more precisely, they give them the features of a sick attachment.

A sick attachment can develop on any other basis - sometimes the cause of craving is a special voice and other attractive personality traits, but strong affection becomes a sick attachment only when there are corresponding and behind it.

What to do?

“What to do to less often contact people who are characterized by sick attachments?” Look closely at people and create long-term relationships only with sincerely healthy people: people who do not like to suffer needlessly, who know how to manage their attachments, know how to both become attached and quickly get rid of. ? These people are usually characterized by good mood, sense of humor, a tendency to act rather than experience, developed self-control.

“What should I do to make sick attachments less likely to arise in my soul?” — Good question. Warning sick attachments - really important topic that every adult should know. It’s a pity that this topic is not studied at school ... So that you don’t have unnecessary sick attachments in your soul, accustom yourself to always maintain a high and regularly practice the exercise ““. Those who have accustomed themselves to live in a high emotional tone are less dependent on other people, and mental insurance protects us from too painful blows of life, including too painful experiences.

“What should I do if I have or have formed a sick attachment?” - If possible, completely stop communication with the source of this attachment. It hurts, but staying close is like cutting off a sore finger a little bit ... If you missed it, you need to remove the sick attachment, here. effective when carried out in a complex way, when not only the existing attachment is removed, but it is analyzed internal benefits and the beliefs that support it are discussed.

“But how to part with a person who has become attached to me if he has a sick attachment?” If you are not a completely callous person, this situation may not be easy for you. However, the situation is solvable, there are several options ...

Prevention of sick attachments

Attachments are good as long as you need each other and your attachments are not sick, soft, rather playful. If in a relationship your partner shows a tough, painful attachment to you, then this situation is dangerous. A man with such affection betrays inadequate reactions: literally pursues the object of his “love”, calls at any time of the day, demands to be with him, threatens to deprive himself, or even another life.

How to prevent such a relationship? What to do if such a person, nevertheless, turned out to be next to you? How to complete similar relationship if they have already started?

The most important rule to follow is do not associate with those who may develop a sick attachment. Starting to build relationships with a new person, listen to his words, look at emotions. If, all of a sudden, you start to hear from him something like “I can’t live without you,” said in all seriousness with real emotions, then this is already a clear alarm signal. This is a reason to end the relationship quickly.

If you missed the first bells and faced a painful attachment in an explicit form, then the most correct and reliable method is a complete and final break, a complete cessation of relations and any contacts whatsoever. It is necessary to part without emotional conversations, without long explanations and attempts to agree on the future. Categorically!

Why so tough? This is the only reasonable way out, since a person in such a state has the same status as a person in a strong drunkenness. Will you talk about anything with a drunk when he comes to ask you for quite a bit of money? You will tell him that drinking is not good, that you already gave him money, and he did not return it to you, that you give in last time and not to come again? That's right, you won't, because it's pointless. It's just as pointless to talk to those who look at you with crazy eyes and promise you anything, so long as you don't leave.

Talking is useless. This is the same as sawing off a hand for a long time. AT this case correct solution break up and cut off all contact. No calls from you, no answers to him - as if you were dead. You are not. Relationships end administratively, not psychologically.

If a person promises to do something terrible to himself, threatens suicide, do not take it seriously. Why? Not why, but why - so that suicide does not happen. Because suicide happens exactly where they react to threats of suicide with anxiety and emotional awe, where there are spectators who are worried about this topic. And in relationships where this is listened to indifferently, like stupidity, nothing terrible happens, because there are no spectators for this performance. If the case is controversial - contact a psychologist, and even better - a psychiatrist, this is not your question, but his.

If the case is not so severe, the person is still sane and you want to risk destroying the situation in a more constructive way, you can try the “Load personal development". This method will require more psychological preparation than the first, but if you manage to successfully apply it, your "partner" or quickly wiser, will become you the right person, or very quickly want to leave himself.

What is the essence of this method? In this method, you do not move away from the person, you continue to meet with him as before, but the main, or better, the only topic of your communication becomes his personal growth and development. At any convenient or uncomfortable moment, you talk about how great, right and necessary it is, you begin to give useful tasks and exercises. For example, demand to do daily, development, and at each meeting ask about the results of the implementation.

The main thing is to do it without irony, in all seriousness, with a positive attitude towards the person. But at the same time, be persistent, and despite the protests, do not turn off the intended line.

After that, a person will have only two options: either really start doing all this and grow personally, or start avoiding communication with you. And, probably, you have already understood: if a person begins to grow personally, he will soon be able to free himself from his sick attachments.

Dealing with affection

Dealing with Your Own Sick Attachment by Steve and Andreas Connire

1. Attachment.

Identify your relationship that you want to work with, which can be described as attachment. Try to visualize attachment in the form of a rope, a rope, threads, etc.

2. What gives attachment?

Try to determine what gives you attachment? Why do you need it? If you have something, you need it for some reason. So. What gives you attachment? Self-confidence, feeling of love, support...

3. Access.

Try to feel this feeling, access it yourself. Find situations where you accessed this state in a different way!

4. Environmental Check.

Conduct an environmental audit. Wouldn't it be worse for you if you remove this attachment (given that you now have access).

And now that you have realized that you can access this state without your attachment, try to cut it, cut it, tear it ...

If that doesn't work, go back to step 2 and look again. The piece that remains with you after a while will fall off by itself, you just need to be sure of your new ability. Like a baby's umbilical cord.

6. Partner.

If this is an attachment to a person, become him for a while and do steps 1-4.

7. Verification.

Think about how your attitude has changed now.

Very often on women's sites and psychological forums you can stumble upon a discussion next problem – « I get attached to people very quickly, how can I deal with this trouble?» Many readers and visitors to thematic sites have a reasonable question: why is attachment a problem and why are people so eager to get rid of this, in general, a good feeling.

The explanation lies in the approach to the concept of attachment - in principle, it is normal to feel sympathy for other people, it is abnormal to stick to them, become addicted to them like a drug, experience painful experiences and deep stress in their absence.

When a healthy infatuation turns into a disease, and why we sometimes become attached to people who are essentially unfamiliar - let's discuss in detail.

Concepts of healthy and unhealthy attachment

The manifestation of sympathy is normal and characteristic of all lovers and loving people. We all, one way or another, become attached to those whom we value, those who are in our circle of trust, who make up our family and our little one. individual world. It is the feeling of connection and closeness with each other that is the basis for maintaining all relationships, and in this vein, the feeling of affection is the norm.

But the topic of our discussion will not be such a kind and deep sympathy, but a feeling of complete dependence on another person, or, in other words, painful affection. What is it and why it is impossible to become attached to people in this way?

Painful attraction to another person manifests itself first of all in complete dependence: you cannot live a day without him, you need to see him, hear him, constantly talk to him or about him. You completely forget about your affairs or do your duties carelessly, and if the object of your passion does not notice you, you are ready to die from longing and pain. If you experience the range of feelings described above, then you are in literally words are obsessed with attachment and you urgently need psychological help.

Someone may object that a person can experience all such emotions, being just very much in love with someone. This delusion and love is as different from attachment as heaven is from earth.

Love or addiction - how to figure it out

We have already talked about the existence different types attachments - normal sympathy and painful dependence. The difference between these two psychological states cardinal: sympathy often develops into a feeling of love, but dependence turns into either complete obsession (fanaticism) or turns into hatred for the object of former passion. Both have an equally destructive effect on the human psyche, so one should strive to get rid of this type of hobby as soon as possible.

How to learn to distinguish love from obsession? Very simple - love is a feeling of light, in it more desire give than take, love cannot be angry and knows how to forgive everything. At emotional attachment a person is more obsessed with himself and his desires - he wants the object of his feelings to always be there, to fulfill all his whims and whims.

And in order to achieve this goal, the obsessed with passion does not stop at nothing - shamelessly invades personal space, arranges ugly scenes of jealousy, starts surveillance and endlessly demands attention to his own person. Love can develop and grow, but in passion everything remains unchanged and relationships of this type are doomed to destruction in advance - slow or fast, depending on the surrounding circumstances.

How to prevent the transition of sympathy into obsession?

If you notice in your character a tendency to over-indulgence unfamiliar people and quick passionate love for them and you can say about yourself - " I am very fast and strongly attached to people”, then it will not hurt you to familiarize yourself with the following tips professional psychologists:

And last but not least, love yourself. Learn to respect and love yourself, be proud of who you are - and people will be drawn to you sincerely, and no one will need to be tied either near you or to yourself.

Getting used to a person is a process that happens incredibly quickly, while weaning is characterized by a long period of time and pain. Attachment, which psychologists also call, can disrupt the perception of reality, deprive a person of will. This feeling seems to bind and hold a person, completely depriving him of independence. Losing connection in the process of parting, a person seems to lose support, it is time to regain autonomy. Today we propose to talk about how to get rid of attachment to a man after breaking up with him.

Causes of emotional dependence

Before we move on to ways to get rid of attachment, we suggest talking about what addiction is, for what reasons it occurs. This term means dependence on a love subject. According to statistics, addiction occurs among both men and women. You can get out of this state only if you can understand it. real reasons. These include the following factors:

• dislike in childhood;
• hard parental control;
• lack of ability and desire to make decisions;
• intimate harassment experienced in childhood;
• low self-esteem;
• fear of loneliness;
• obsession with own shortcomings and understatement;
• mental trauma;
• unpreparedness for a mature relationship;
• desire to obey.

So how to overcome all these problems, how to get rid of excessive attachment to a man? Let's try to figure it out!

Fighting attachment

When parting, there is a feeling of loss of oneself and the unbearable pain of loss. Is it possible to stop being attached and try to become self-sufficient person? Psychologists say: you can protect yourself, preserve your own individuality and get rid of addiction. Experts give a number of tips that will help not only overcome the feeling of attachment, but also prevent depression, which can cause a break with a partner.

Close the door to the past

The first thing to do after you break up with a person is to accept the fact that the past, no matter how beautiful and rosy it may be, cannot be returned. It is necessary to let go of it, to cross it out, to accept the breakup of relations as a given. Psychologists say that over time, you will even like the feeling of freedom, independence.

More communication

Answering the question of how to get rid of attachment to a man, psychologists say: any concentration on specific person always leads to addiction. Addiction can be overcome only by communicating with different people. In this case, your thoughts and feelings will be shared among everyone with whom you spend time. New people are always new opinions, vivid emotions and new information. Such communication will certainly broaden your horizons and allow you to look at many things from a completely different perspective. Of course, it is impossible to talk about new relationships in an attempt to get rid of love experiences, but the void that has formed inside must be filled.
