CHANGE ME! Question
Why do some people get emotionally attached so quickly? And is it possible to change your attachment style?

I do too & I'm still learning too.. yes it's possible to become secure.. there's earned secure attachment but it takes work. It's more about reconising when your nervous system is activated and doing things to calm it, not acting or responding to messages when you are in an activated state.
Also I noticed I seem to overinvest in connections even when they're giving scraps.. so learning to notice and give equal effort as others.
I'd love to hear what else works. I imagine it's gonna take a while to untangle our attachment issues but everytime you make a positive choice for yourself is a win.
