Description: Our attachment style is the way we attach to someone and how we behave in a relationship. Our attachment styles are formed in childhood depending on how we attached to our parents. SECURE ATTACHMENT STYLE: The only healthy attachment style. People with this attachment style can give and receive love easily. They are loving, caring, trustworthy, reliable and communicate well. ANXIOUS PREOCCUPIED ATTACHMENT: People with this attachment style are dependent on their partners and want to be close with their partner at all times. They need constant validation. They are prone to getting jealous quite easily, and become extremely anxious if they're not constantly reassured. They tend to be hypersensitive and have an extreme fear of abandonment. DISMISSIVE AVOIDANT: These people see love and relationships as suffocating. They value their independent and put up walls so people can never get emotionally close to them. They are very secretive towards their partner and often have a hard time committing. They tend to be workaholics in order to keep themselves distracted and distant from love. They see expressing emotions as a weakness. They get very turned off by clingy, needy partners but those types of people also feed their ego so they keep them around. They will look for any petty excuse or flaw to leave their relationship. They rarely take their partner's feelings into consideration. FEARFUL AVOIDANT: This attachment style is a combination of anxious + dismissive. They see the value of a relationship but are scared to fall in love. They know once they're in love they get very attached to their partner, so they try their best to avoid relationships (even though they really want one). They tend to have a negative view of themselves and need their partner to validate them. But they also have a negative view of others and therefore don't trust anyone enough to fall in love. They are hesitant about sharing their feelings unless they know for sure they will get a positive response. twitter.com/nu_mindframe
