Attachment is an emotional state that we feel when someone or something touches us. Sometimes attachment can be good, and sometimes it can be harmful.
When attachment becomes too strong, it takes away our freedom to decide what we want to do with our lives. When that happens, people often feel they are not making their own choices anymore because they are being controlled by the people, things, or ideas they have been attached to.
Attachment can be seen as both a strength and a weakness because it can drive your success or lead you to disaster. And If you become attached to your ideas and feelings about yourself, you would be more likely to ignore the feedback of others and continue with your idea or feelings no matter what others say about them.
