Is it bad to be attached to something? Especially something material that people would usually consider trivial? I'm attached to all my things, no matter what they are, and sometimes I feel really bad when I have to let go of something. ( Whether it's a gift or something I bought myself )

It's not a bad thing if you are attached to, for example, a gift that a loved one gave you. You just need to distinguish between useful things and those that are useless to you.

it’s bad if the intensity of this characteristic harms you, having no control and losing the sense of what is healthy to maintain.
