Relationships can’t be replicated. Imitated, but never duplicated. You can’t look at two people’s connection with each other, and make copies of it for yourself. Yes, you can mimic it, but relationships are based on the personalities of the people involved, which then affects what they do and how they do it. And no matter how much you wish you could clone a bond between people, you really have to forge your own relationships. You can use people as models, but you can’t get an identical affiliation with someone. And you can’t take someone from a relationship, and try to re-create the same relationship with them that they have with another person. What they have is a unique connection, and you have a completely different personality that, when meshed, will create quite a different result. You can’t copy/paste personalities or relationships. And if you try to parallel your personality to someone else’s, you’ll turn out as a bad carbon copy of them. What they have is specialized for them, not for you to try and duplicate. You just can’t, plain and simple.
