Overattached
In our fast-paced modern world, we tend to overattach ourselves to things that matter most—our relationships, hobbies, and even careers. But what if there was a word for this obsession? "Overattached"!
Let’s explore the metaphorical meaning of "overattached."
When I am at home alone, I always think of my cat, Mimi. It seems like an insurmountable task to me to keep her company while I'm on the go. But when I’m not with her, I don’t feel very attached to her; instead, I feel overattached to her.
Let’s talk about how this concept plays out in real life. Suppose you're at a crowded public event and want to catch a movie. You need an umbrella, but if you buy one right away (and there are many options available), it becomes almost like you’re overattached to it, neglecting the possibility of needing one later.
Now let’s look at how this can play out in fiction. In a world where technology is omnipresent, "overattached" could refer to characters who are so addicted to their gadgets that they ignore or neglect any other aspects of life—friends, hobbies, or even social interactions.
Example Sentence:
As I type on my laptop, it seems like an insurmountable task to me to keep up with everything. But when I'm not in the office, I feel almost overattached to my work computer, ignoring
