There is a professor at my university . Over time, I started to develop an emotional attachment to him. It wasn’t something I planned or expected; it just happened gradually because I appreciated his personality, the way he teaches, and the intellectual connection I felt with him.
For a while, I found myself thinking about him a lot and paying attention to small things related to him. Recently, I decided to step back and focus more on myself, my energy, and my studies. Since then, I noticed something interesting: when I stopped chasing the feeling or thinking about him too much, things related to him sometimes appear in my life unexpectedly, like hearing news about him or seeing something connected to him.
Now I feel a bit confused about my emotions. Part of me wants to completely detach and move forward in a healthy way, but another part of me still feels curious and emotionally connected.
I would really appreciate hearing your perspectives. How can I better understand this attachment and deal with it in a balanced and healthy way without letting it affect my peace of mind or my academic life?
