MODERATORS
Sounds like endogenous FOMO colored by situational loneliness due to social isolation.
My top recommendation would be to find social activities to participate in. Book clubs, social sports, interest-related meetups, etc.
The reason is that isolation makes it easy to develop for others feelings that are less accountable to reality. These feelings can be positive or negative, and the others can be individuals or large groups of people, but the effect is the same.
Spending time with people is the natural remedy. The more you understand others, the more you understand yourself, and the easier it becomes to appreciate others for who they are without defining your self by them (aka “attachment”).
TL;DR: Get to know people, all kinds of people, and you will discover the natural remedy for these intrusive feelings of attachment.
