I have a question that I've been tossing around in my mind for quite a while now but haven't been able to answer.

How does one form healthy, deep relationships with other people without any attachment?

When I say "relationships", I mean in the general sense: romantic or platonic. I guess the question could also be phrased like this: How do we form close relationships and feel no sadness or grief when that person is no longer in our life?

I need to move to a different city in a week for school, but I have several close friends here in town, one in particular. I'm feeling a great deal of sadness and anxiety (worried that our friendship might degrade if we're apart for a long time). Is it possible to be close to someone without this attachment? Is it necessary to relinquish all relationships in order to be truly free from attachments?

Thanks in advance for any insights, friends.
