Teacher attachment
I’m in yr12 at sixth form, and for some reason every single male teacher that I have (they are all 30/50), I just have this emotional attachment for them.
Of course I am NOT romanticising teacher-student relationships at ALL and that idea doesn’t even come into my head when I think about my teachers so don’t attack me for that.
But I feel like whenever one of my teachers says hello to me when I’m walking around, or one of them looks for me and smiles at me, or even tries his very best to help me, I just feel this feeling of safeness around them and I become emotionally attached to them.
Some may think it’s because of the father-daughter relationship I have, but my dad isn’t toxic or horrible.
I do get told off from him quite a lot and he makes me, a 17 year old woman, cry a lot. I feel like I can only share my big achievements with him, such as my GCSE grades for me to be told ‘well done by him’, and it seems as though any other achievements he’s not that bothered about.
Don’t get me wrong, I do love my dad and I think he cares for me a lot, but he’s shouted at my sister and I quite a bit, for unreasonable things as well because I’d consider myself to be a good child.
I don’t go out and I do my school work.

Nothing to be ashamed of, enjoy exploring your thoughts feelings emotions in preparation future relationships. Fantasy and imagines a powerful tool.
I’m sorry you and your sister have tricky relationship with your Dad. Been there myself. The dynamics will change over time hopefully for the better.
And good cry always helps. All the luck in the world 🌎
