I react if I am alone in the house and suddenly the door slams shut. That doesn't mean I have a connection with the door. I reacted to what happened, but not to the door - no connection: emotional or otherwise. An emotional reaction yes, but connection? No.

I take your point but the difference is you don't make excuses for the door and defend the door for giving you the fright because it's just a door and you don't have any connection with it (*thinks this is the strangest sentence I've ever written*) where as you forgive and defend HMs because you've grown to like them over their time in the house and even though they may behave badly sometimes you make excuses for them because of the emotional connection you have with them
