    Getting attached to people is part of being human.

    But what's the difference between that and what arias was feeling ? I keep thinking she was attached to him,he didn't feel the same way and killed him. What's the difference ?

    Jodi had been "diagnosed" as a narcissist, sociopath, pathological liar, bipolar, and someone suffering from multiple personality disorder. I'm not even sure what she had for her boyfriend could be considered true love... to murder someone after they break up with you? Actually, I'm not even sure where to begin, since this scenario is so warped on multiple levels.. it's definitely not the type of attachment you'd want to be a part of, believe me.

    Who knows? I don't think any of us would. We could always speculate, but that leads to nothing definitive.

    To answer your first post, getting attached is okay and normal. Getting clingy and obsessive is not healthy for either person, though. That is generally speaking, and I'm not pointing any fingers.

    Love, attachment, lust, and delusion could all potentially play into hand together. They're not necessarily mutually exclusive.

    "We accept the love that we think we deserve" - The Perks, it's unhealthy. But in time the feelings will numb away.

    I disagree. How about love from our family and friends? How about in a mutual and deeply loving relationship? Some feelings don't fade, as well. To say as such would be a bit pessimistic and fatalistic to a fault, to say the least.

    I think that getting attached to people is normal. I think the issue arises when you become dependent on someone

    there's a difference between being attached to someone and being obsessed with someone. attached is fine. obsessed, no.
