Why Do I Miss Someone I Barely Know?

According to experts, there are a few key reasons for why this happens. "Usually falling in love with, and being unable to get over someone you barely know and have barely dated, is reflective of having 'attachment issues,'" Lauren O'Connell, licensed marriage and family therapist, tells Bustle.

Why am I obsessing over someone I barely know?

If you find yourself thinking of a person you barely know, it could be because you're feeling down and depressed and thoughts of them make you feel a little better. This is true especially if you just ended a relationship with your former lover.

Can you fall for someone you barely know?

Fall in love regularly, and do so with those you barely even know, but be careful with whom you choose to love -- not fall in love with, but really love. You don't need to know someone to fall in love with him or her. In fact, we all fall in love with people who are basically complete strangers.
