Is it normal to purposely not get attached to people?

In my life people come and go, no one has ever stuck around. I start relationships knowing one day they will end, it makes the time I do have with them more precious since I know it won't be forever. I know people move, get busy, whatever and I tried so hard to keep the contact even if its only through fb but in the end they forget me and have passed out of my life. So iv lately kept a mental barrier that keeps me from getting attached to people, I still enjoy their company and treasure our memories but when their gone I don't get sad or miss them. I just think back and go 'good times, now onward to the next good times'. And when a relationship ends I don't really care or understand why the other person will get emotional, I'm like chill there's other people out there I ain't the only one. Maybe I'm just cold hearted now? But it makes life easier, I never get hurt or heartbroken.

  • Yes, unless it's the love of your life. You might want to put some effort into making them stay.

    I can relate to this so much... i tend to just live life these days not really care about the future.

    Well that's probably a sure and safe way to go through life without getting your heart broken. But isn't it a lonely one? Don't worry about your future so much, just live for the moment. You will find people in your life who will never leave you; you just have to find them.

    I think it is normal to feel that way most of the time, but there are still a few people out there that are worth making the effort for.

    You're not cold hearted. You just simply got used to everyone walking out on you. It's healthier than crying about it.

      Actually I think crying is healthier......
      but I wouldn't know much bout it since Ive actually
      been feeling the same way....... Ive just hurt to much because I kept leaving, so I eventually got numb....
