The Four Attachment Styles

1. Secure Attachment

You feel comfortable with emotional closeness and trust in partner support. Disagreements are handled constructively without fear of abandonment.

2. Anxious-Preoccupied

You crave deep intimacy and frequently seek reassurance. Delayed messages or perceived emotional distance trigger swift anxiety and overthinking.

3. Dismissive-Avoidant

You place supreme value on self-reliance. When emotional vulnerability escalates, you instinctively retreat to preserve independence and emotional safety.

4. Fearful-Avoidant

An internal conflict: longing intensely for authentic love while simultaneously fearing vulnerability, rejection, or losing emotional control.
