When you lose emotional attachment, you realise it was your love that made them special.

Emotional attachement will turn a donkey into a racehorse

For real

Personally, I’ve never thought of anyone to be special, just compatible

I’ve never been overawed by anyone

I think special in this case means you’re willing to do a little extra for them.

Hmm. Maybe. Perhaps you care enough to spend time and effort on them

Yes, I most definitely do. My closest friends will tell you that.

You’re just a kind and lovely person. It’d be someone’s loss losing your friendship or love

I operate under the assumption that no matter how kind and nice and caring I'll ever be, I'm never going to be for everyone.

And that’s how it should be. You don’t have to like everyone. Boundaries are healthy

My crush on you is because you are a fun, sensible, beautiful person, not because you’re “special”

😄 You always smack me in the face with this, mavs. I’m no one special. Maybe sane and reasonable is hard to come by these days?

You’re just so level-headed and easy to talk to. Trust me, my liking for you is a result of hundreds of your posts about people and relationships. You’re just beautiful and down to earth

Naturally curious person, I guess. I always have this need to understand even when it's probably not necessary or a good idea. It's hard not to care about people when you get to know them.

And that’s why I like you. I also have this need to “figure” things out so I can stay in control of my emotions

100% that

I’ll leave you with this gorgeous Van Morrison song. That’s how calm and kind you come across as, hon

Enjoy a lovely evening

Pleasant evening, mavs. 🫂

Okay, for science, are you an INFP personality type?

Honestly, I don’t know. I just love that Bruce Lee quote, “be like water”.

Try one of the Meyers-Briggs tests just for grins. I'm dying to know. 😂

This is how I feel about her, too 😆. 🫂💜

Is it because I'm kind of a female flavour of cheese? I'm a mountain goat cheese. 😄

Lmao 😂

Cheese is good

Possibly 😆. Or that you're just chill af, seem to be a genuinely decent human being, and fun to chat back and forth with ☺️

I feel the same about you too, Yarny. 😊 You take nothing seriously and your sense of humour is top shelf. Not much more I can ask for. 🫂

mountain goat cheese sounds good 😂

Making me blush ☺️.

your love is special.

I want to believe that. I learned it at a young age that some love require nothing in exchange. Unconditional. It was given to me freely. I give it away freely but isn't understood or recognised.

there is a kind of love that chooses to see the good. and its belief in that good changes the person being loved.

i think you love like this. and its a gift to be on the receiving end.

its also never a mistake to give that love. even if they choose at some point not to receive it.

There is truly no end to what I'm willing to give because I recognise an abundance of it in myself and in what I continue to receive from others.

yep.

youre a special one.

Emotional attachment aka love , is overrated .. most human advance is accomplished by commitment and dedication .. and the respect that these two attributes generate !

Perhaps but I don't think you can continue to create an accomplished human without it.

Quite the opposite - Accomplished humans get created when they get over their constant need for emotional connection !

Well, if you put it like that, it just sounds like a person who has no emotional regulation to balance their need to connect and contribute to the advancement.

I am an 🐘!

Is this why my teenagers look like a bunch of retards all of a sudden?
