im definitely anxious preoccupied, but its weird bc although some ppl in the comments talked about abuse and problems in childhood, id actually say i had a pretty good early childhood and still have nice family relationships, never been abused or hit and i 100% know that my family loves me. my school and general environment has also been rly good at nurturing individuality, so i dont really know why i have this attachment style. its only been the case for 1 person though, specifically someone from a past relationship in which i was extremely jealous and insecure in, and now that its been 1. 5 years since the breakup were friends again but my attachment says that part of me still thinks of her as more.
not the best situation, and it might be harder to work through this without her by my side (she was very secure when we were dating) and i dont know if i can even tell her about this for i feel like she cares about me less now (or maybe thats just my perception) but I think my anxiety is already showing up a lot here so yup thats all

Fearful avoidant here- I like spending time with friends but im so intimidated by intimacy. In fact I have very few friends. I feel sad about being lonely and not being able to make lots of friends but i usually find myself making up excuses to not hang out with the friends i already have, i also make little to not effort to create a social situation. Recently I'm going out with this girls and i like spending time with her but I find myself so UNABLE to engage in more intimate contact unless shes literally not facing me I cant even bring myselt to kiss her on the lips yet. and I find myself trying to find any kind of excuse to stop seeing her. I struggle with low self steem and sociak anxiety so its hard. Like i love romance and i love having friends and once i go out with them i feel great but then its so hard to get out of the comfort zone again. It's so hard when your heart craves so much tenderness and understanding from others and yet the defense mechanisms in your mind end up sabotaging everything. :(

Dismissive Avoidant personality checking in, if my partner threatens to leave me I'll show her the door. U don't threaten ur loved ones, if u try fk with me like that then gtfo. At the end of the day the only constant u have in life is urself, everyone else will come and go whether by choice or death so look within yourself to fulfill your needs and interact with others without any dependence on them.
You are the hero who saves yourself, the only person u can have confidence in is yourself since you're the only constant in your life, theres no point in putting yourself under anyone else since you live different lives and your life is from your point of view so in short, you're the main character in your story and everyone else is a side character.

I am anxious to secure attachment and here to say that AVOID AVOIDANTS! They are a bane to society. The kind of abuse they engage in is insidious, if you call them out on it they will pretend they are not responsible for doing any emotional labour for your. The abuse of anxious attachment styles is visible because they will act-out, avoidants give you silence treatment, will keep you guessing about your relationship and then when you make an emotional demand they will gaslight you as being too much, needy and burdensome! AVOID AVOIDANTS, THEY INVALIDATE YOU! EVERYBODY HURTS, BUT NO ONE SHOULD MAKE YOU DOUBT WHAT YOU FEEL. THEY DO THAT!

Im an odd mix. I relate most with the Secure attachment style, but Im also extremely introverted, so Im always walking a fine line between setting healthy boundaries for my alone time, and tripping on over into the Dismissive-Avoidant behaviors.
This is also especially tricky because the man I love is very anxious attachment style, which means he always feels like I must not love him and Im going to leave him any second when I just need introvert time. And irritation with that insecurity is what pushes me into Dismissive-Avoidant.

I believe I fall in the middle of having an anxious-preoccupied and dismissive avoidant attachment style but I also feel I share some characteristics with a fearful avoidant while my ex partner of 5 years has a mix between a secure and anxious-preoccupied attachment style. Its hard to put a label on myself or others, I see similarities in the different characteristics for both myself and my previous lovers behavior across the attachment styles.

I felt like i have been all of these at som epoint in my life in different relationships. Im definitely less of anxious and preoccupied type now a days for sure, and I feel like I only very rarely feel a tinge of Fearful avoidance - however the Dismissive Avoidant one hit me straight on like i had a painted target on my chest haha Maybe i dont got it all together - maybe i just think i do cause i think im really good at lone wolfing it on my own

I dont know what style of attachment i had. I can have friend, but when i feel like our relationship became deeper or became like more a bff way approach I distance my self. I hate it. I always do it with anyone. For example, I can easily build good relationship with kids but when I feel like they're really attached to me, i will distance my self.

I've always been pretty secure, but totally became an anxious-preoccupied when I dated a fearful-avoidant. Their constant mixed messages and hot/cold tendencies left me questioning everything all the time. Will absolutely keep an eye out for avoidant folks in the future to avoid them.

Definitely fearful-avoidant! I look forward to finding a partner, but the first time I felt physical attraction to someone (heart racing, stomach butterflies, etc) I became really freaked and overwhelmed for days until I was able to talk it over with my dad

It is weird, i tend to act like an avoidant, but deep inside i want an intimate relationship with someone i trust, i wanted intimacy but along with trust issues, i also am afraid of being betrayed by a partner
Would it be fearful avoidant?

Fearful avoidant here. Its very hard to let people get close to me. I know I do need to socialize if I want to find relationships but am afraid of them at the same time. So I lean more towards the avoidant side and am highly introverted.

What if you feel like you resonate with all the attachment styles except for secure. I feel like different chapters in my life Ive experienced Anxious, Dismissive, and Fearful all varying on the person and point in time of my life.

For women who dont have the secure attachment style and experience PMS, very big emotions, pls read/research on vitamins and minerals for PMS. Eating healthy and taking supplements esp that time helps me regulate big emotions.

I love to deepen my understanding of self and others but unless you have tips on how to shift perspective then many are left using this as an excuse for their behavior with no plan to grow and improve.

Promote some extra self-awareness by citing sources. particularly science based on theory from as early as the 50's, being implied romantically in the 80s, to be largely revoked now.
Self. Aware?

I'm an anxious preoccupied person. I was dating on and off a woman who is fearful avoidant. I fell for her pretty hard. She pulls close, then after awhile goes distant. It feels like a yo yo effect.

With my family I have a secure attachment style. Then because of BPD I have Dismissive and Fearful avoidant friend relationships and it swings like a pendulum depending on my mood.
