Attachments.

What makes us become so attached to certain people over others?

I was never this way before, but I have now become a person who finds myself getting attached to people very quickly. Even if I have just met someone, if I feel a connection, I find myself wanting to be around that person as often as I can be.

I don't become attached in a sense that I want to be anything exclusive with this person, I just want to be around them. For example, if I meet a male whom I feel this specific connection with, I will want to talk to them and be around them often. It's not that I want to be in a relationship with this person or tie them down, I just want to be near them as often as I can be. 

The problem I am finding with this is that I seem to be feeling this connection more than anybody else does towards me. I feel as though I am wanting to be surrounded by these certain people more than they want to be surrounded by me. I want to see them more than they want to see me. I want to talk to them more than they want to talk to me. I want to become more attached to these specific people, while I feel that they don't want exactly what I do. 

How do you control who you become attached to?

How do you control the connections that you feel with other people, especially if they don't feel that connection with you?
