      Its absolutely because she spent so much time alone and afraid and with the traveller around, she feels safe and loved. She shows symptoms of PTSD related attachment disorder, with her trigger being abandonment.
      "You might just be one of countless stars, but to me your my whole world" when Paimon thinks about the world without the traveller, it brings back all the memories of hiding and hurting and makes the world feel dark and scary.

    This is really sweet no doubt, but I still feel like there's something more to it, as if they're intentionally implying or foreshadowing something.. With how better the storytelling is since Sumeru, I can't help but feel like they're trying to set up a big plotpoint here, since these panic attacks have only been more noticable in Sumeru.
    This idea is from another comment, but the way Paimon reacts is somewhat similar to Collei freaking out from physical interaction, due to her past trauma with the Fatui. Could it be that she has some kind of PTSD from before traveler met her?

Add to that the fact that eachother's paths are opposites. Lumine wants the Abyss to engulf Teyvat and destroy the Thrones of the Heaven, which would kill everyone in Teyvat. Aether, on the other hand, only cares about getting more knowledge from the Archons and their people, taking revenge against The Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and discovering the truth of the world to, perhaps, get closer to Lumine once again and escape with her.
      I think the decision relies more on what Lumine chooses: a) Be the Khaenri'ah Princess, the Leader of the Abyss Order or b) Joining Aether to defeat the Sustainer and flee from Teyvat at last along Paimon, if she is able at all to do so.

    "She's like a little sister". Yes! 100%! And I'm speaking as an older sister.
    I think the traveler sees her like this as well, given how much the traveler teases Paimon, but will protect her no matter what. For example: during the Shadow Admist Snowstorms event, the traveler puts up an arm to protect Paimon.
    My headcanon is that the traveler doesn't like being separated from Paimon either, since they now have this sibling-like bond, and the traveler has already been separated from their twin

      I mean Scaramouche is also well liked, there's nothing wrong with liking a character that isn't completely good, like if you're gonna talk about moral ground Paimon is pretty greedy, selfish and petty in numerous situations besides being told to shut up by some Sumeru characters for talking way too much or being straight up disrespectful so the hate would be justified in those terms. It's perspective more than anything to be honest, I personally don't like her much and have a hard time getting attached to her because of her personality, that said i hope they make something interesting with her character in the future, specifically because currently the only thing she brings is moral support and nothing else, they could have replaced her with anything else at the beginning of development and it would've had the exact same effect.

      This is a little personal but, somehow i always feel that the hate of everyone for Paimon is just like hate me. Because she somehow like me, sometimes too excited so the voice kinda high, that really hard to hear. Sometimes, i just always talk, show emotion so i don't emotionless. Sometimes i get too emotion and don't understand what is rude so often say something rude without knowing it. I had a habit to stick with the one person i first see so i just only need to communicate with them , ...so kinda always follow them. She genuine, more outgoing than me, also more confident. Seeing her confidence convinces me to be more confident. i slow so when she recap really help me. I always imagine myself as Lumine, and Paimon as my best friend, the friend that won't leave me, i could listen to her all day ( though know that someday i may not have enough energy too do so : )). When i see people say she annoying, somehow i feel uncomfortable, maybe it's because for me that word always trigger something. Or maybe i feel like they dismiss who i am, that i will only create discomfort for people around, i know it's strange but it's just my feeling. I do understand that people have rights to like what they like and hate what they hate. Yet, for me she more than just a character in game
      Edit: Thank you for reading my long comment, in conclusion i just want to describe how much she mean to me. Everyone have their opinion and i hope everyone can understand what i wrote because my English is quite bad.

    I'm glad someone finally adressed this, It's great to know I'm not the only one that noticed Paimon getting anxious about the Traveller never coming back when they leave just for a second, honestly it's kinda sad that the fandom pretty much overlooked this because of all the hatred Paimon often gets, I know that sometimes she is annoying and I would be lying if I said she has never made me feel frustrated or annoyed, even though of her having this attitude she's still the only true loyal company we had in all our journey and one of the few characters that actually care about us and are there for the Traveller, not wanting things all the time (for example Amber)

Traveler does everything and Paimon just floats there and reaps the rewards. She's like Mona, but useless.

    i dont really understand the certain hatred this community has towards particular characters. in many cases i just find it plain irrational. paimon was trying to take childe’s hit when traveller was immobile, almost got sliced in half while trying to desperately wake us up when raiden was approaching us and on top of that she has followed us into places that she either feared (wuwang hill) or places which were highly dangerous because she is the one who channels our elemental energy and is nevertheless aware that manipulation of elements is something that we crucially need. she taught us the teyvat language and provided us basic information about teyvat in which we would be lost otherwise. and yet people want to kill a child character that has helped us and cared for us the most just because they are “annoying”, while fawning over hot adult characters which have never given two shits about the traveler despite having their lives improved by him significantly… in a lot of cases. im not saying all real life elements should apply to fiction but i just can’t stand the fact that all of the tremendous hate towards paimon isnt even constructive. in most cases its just blatant statements like her en va being annoying- just tell me how the hell is that supposed to be enough of an excuse to villify her character writing? dont like her voice in this dub? fine, switch it to something else, its not that hard. and paimon isnt the only case. reckless pallad pushed sucrose because he was literally freezing to death and somehow the whole fandom pinpointed him to be the worst npc for it when you have npcs in the game that are so much worse. im sorry but they have chosen to place him into a cold corner and keep him in dragonspine while he was literally losing consciousness and well, him pushing sucrose when he was barely sentient was not anything malicious yet people make it sound that way. its just a reckless character getting into a reckless situation, how’s that so hard to understand. maybe i am playing a different game or something, seriously.
    edit: yes i have prolonged this comment and fixed some of the awful grammar. dont mind my rambling, this is just a bad rant and its not meant to attack anyone.
    edit 2: i got a bit sour in the reply section so i just wanna leave a note: to anybody who dislikes paimon or pallad, you are allowed to do so, i am criticising the approach and the lack of constructivity a lot of people have about it, not the taste itself, thanks.

      I would argue that Reckless Pallad and Albert are some of the most hated npcs in the fandom and they both are for different reasons.
      One annoys the crap out of everyone. Not only did Reckless Pallad make a dumb move to think purple=fire, he pushed Surcose and then shoved the traveler character. And after all of that, WE and Albedo with Sucrose had to fight a giant mutated op plant monster while he cowers in fear(see also, the three different fire beacons literally right next to him). Its just plain annoyance on top of the random event commissions we get where we have to save his *ss because he’s doing something stupid or Reckless. I get that its the joke but the joke gets old quick.
      Albert is just disgusting. If someone likes Albert as a character, someone is mentally ill. Creepy, stalkerish behavior, and obsessive. But we dont get any of that daily especially if your commissions are set to another nation permanently. You only really get it through snippet dialogue and implicit nudges in character voice lines which the illiterate majority of the fandom doesnt read. So someone much more in your face is much easier to hate, hence, Reckless Pallad is worse in the community’s eyes.

    Paimon is another variable that the heavenly principles wasn’t able to anticipate. She was meant to guide us to the correct sequence of events. However, I think they did not anticipate the closeness of the two. I feel like at the very end, due to Paimon’s love for Traveler, she may end up sacrificing herself, instead of her original purpose of being a puppet of the unknown god. Remember a line from one of the Melusine’s in Fontaine, she mentioned something about a string connected to paimon that leads upwards to the sky. I feel like this has greater significance, more akin to being a pawn/puppet of a more powerful being. As much as I don’t want that these sequence of events to happen, it is not farfetched, seeing how dark quests have turned on Fontaine.

    The traveler was probably Paimon's first friend ever. Like the video said, she had to survive out in the wild and despite knowing a lot about the regions of teyvat, had zero companions that she knew or knew her. By meeting the traveler, she made more friends through them. She has grown such an emotional attachment to the traveler and is scared to leave them because they have been the first friend she has ever had and doesn't want to lose them.

    Paimon could be a kind of Empath where Emotional Energy is picked up from characters around her and Amplified giving her some of her personality traits which includes the hyperness and attitudes she shows at certain parts of your journey from mondstat where she is sassy to Inazuma where she is more conservative and childlike being afraid of certain interactions do to the cultural difference between the 2 regions.

    I don't care if the people hate her English voice, her voice in her moments of pure despair evokes my protective instincts, (to make a long story short I find her voice very genuine)

    Let’s not forget when Paimon says she’s afraid to die because that would mean she won’t be besides the Traveler anymore.
