this is not goodbye
Whenever someone I care about is leaving, I have to watch them until I can’s see them at all anymore. I feel like I’ll never see them again if I don’t.

Whenever someone I care about is leaving, I have to turn around as soon as they start to walk away, so that I won’t have a mental image of them literally leaving me.
I do the exact same thing. When my parents come to visit me (they live in another town), I always have to go outside to say goodbye to them and watch them pull of of my driveway and up the road.
Good thing you don’t live on the prairies! It’s so flat here you can watch your dog run away for weeks.
I’m the opposite, I only do this if I truly think I will NEVER see this person again (so sad). If i want to ever see them again I have to look away and NOT watch them dissappear.
That’s sweet.
I do the same thing. Especially when my boyfriend is leaving.
I do the same but never really realized it ’til you came along
Its sweet and romantic
i used to do the same thing when i was younger. i grew up on an island and every morning i would take the ferry over to school and i would have to wave to my dad till we were about out of sight.
I have the opposite. If I know people are coming, I have to watch for them until they arrive. I must see transition of them being –>.
If I expect them at 5pm, for example, I have to watch beginning at 4:45 and will remain at post until they arrive. Extreme lateness causes problems. Other than that, I feel this very nice.
I try to make departures swiftly.
Me too! I worry that if I see them disappear then I won’t ever see them again.
Do not worry! I have to do this anytime anyone leaves. Even if it is just some person I just met. I can not stand the thought of them being hurt somewhere and never coming back to the ones they love again.:(
Similar thing I guess, I always have to say “see you” instead of “goodbye” in order to confirm that I truly WILL see this person again. Because for some reason, that’s in my power?
i dont like to watch people leave, it makes me sad that their going (had a few friends that left and knowing that i’ll never see them again, i didnt bother watching them leave). Too sad. Too sad
