I Think I'm A Guardian?

I have had a similar experience, only I was on the other end of the spectrum, someone kept me safe and guided me, I like to believe on quite a few levels.

The person you are guarding might however have become reliant on you and leaving without a trace might be just as unhealthy as spending too much time with her.

I am afraid I am not well versed in these things, but certainly there must be a reason why this person needs a protector to begin with.

Well, I have had something like that before. It stared with one friend and I was attached to that person unconditionally for 11 years. We were the best of friends and as you said I knew everything about them. For me it started similarly I saw this person but did not talk to them until one day, I saw she was alone. We became good friends right away and within a week of me knowing here I could read her thoughts and knew all that had happened, was happening and was to happen to her. I felt I had to protect her and I did for 11 years. Then one day we just did not talk anymore. Then I found out that I had been misusing my abilities for my own selfish reasons. I was using them to protect a person who was my friend so much so I took my eyes of everyone else. I found out that by following that one friend for 11 years, I had done some harm to here, I did not allow her to grow on her own and now she has to learn. I fear you might end up doing something similar if you do not keep yourself in check.

Later on I found another person I could do the same thing with, I began to worry and did not know why. So I tied doing the same thing with other people trying to read them and figure out who they really were and found out I could read almost everyone in this way. So I changed my way of being and learned to help everyone and not follow a specific person anywhere. Following a specific person you care about and trying to help them all the time causes you to lose yourself. Soon you forget about your own needs because you feel as you have said that you are this person's guardian and must care for them. You can care for them, but remember they can care for themselves to, they have been doing so since before you cam in to their life's. Caring and helping is okay, but taking over it not. I now use my gift to help people become themselves, helping them see that people will still care for them once the masks are off.

Well good Luck, I wish you the best and hope you find your true calling.

What if you were related to her in the past life or something:o ->:) . It could just be empathy, it's crazy how it works. I would attach to people I would never have thought I'd be attached to; and they would attach to me too. And the attachment, man that's the peculiar part, no matter how long you know someone the attachment makes it feel like you've known this person for years and they tell you everything too...idk

Yaz that is exactly it, while it's true some people are born to protect others that life isn't usually dedicated to one person its a broad guardianship but it can focus. Normally your life wouldn't be spent to protect someone, so that leads to the belief that subconsciously there are feelings for her you have yet come to terms with. They could be guilt for something that happened when you lost contact, or you could have deep seated emotions that you weren't able to express when you lost contact.
Heck it could even be shes your guardian. It's all possible
What ever it is if being around her brings you peace then keep doing what you're doing.

To me it seems like you have linked into an empathic connection towards her. It also seems like you are in a deep love for this person, which can boost your empathic powers into some kind of clairvoyance (I think that's what it is? The ability to read the future) along with empathy.

Does this happen with any other people? Can you read others just as easily?
