affection != love. i feel affection (and even love) towards friends and family, but it is not the same as romantic love.
It's different for me. I love my family but I do not feel affection towards them. I do NOT feel affection towards anyone unless I were to feel emotionally close/intimate/comfortable with em. It takes aLOT for me to get to that level with someone which is another reason why I need a relationship. I function better when I have someone that I'm really close to & I can not get that without becoming attached & dependent on being with them
you literally just described me, my quality of life greatly increases when i have a friend i can be close/intimate with but i easily get attached when girls let me that close though i have only lost 1 friend because of how dependent i get on them, that was my friend Cheyenne, the girl that upon leaving broke me and led to my last suicide attempt
