is there anyone here who has a similar tendency to get intensely attached to a certain person easily-*not romantic!- or older people rather than ppl your own age/and or have a need to hug alot? or anyone here who isnt really autistic but might have some quirky traits w/people/or quirky tendencies like rocking to music, etc, intense obsessions w/"typical" interests(piano etc)

Well I get attached to people all the time. Once I'm not afraid to talk to someone, I practically consider them my best friend. I just like familiarity, so I become attached to people because I feel uncomfortable being around people I don't know. I feel even more uncomfortable walking around in public without being around someone I know. I don't really feel like hugging people though. I was a serious chiraptophobic throughout high school, but I've since loosened up a bit about that. (Though unwarrented touching still freaks me out a little.) I do realize that it doesn't matter who the person is though. I've been 'attached' to different people over the years, but once they're gone I never really miss them. I just miss having that someone to be around to make me feel comfortable in certain situations. Does that make sense? (I have trouble getting my point across sometimes, not for lack of words though)

I do the same thing - it seems to really creep people out and is part of the reason that I choose to be completley asocial . . . I've never gotten along with people my own age . . .
