Do you know your Attachment Style? 

---

Attachment style refers to how an individual relates to others based on their early childhood experiences with primary caregivers, usually their parents. This style affects how we perceive safety, intimacy, and vulnerability in relationships. The 4 attachment styles are:-

Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style usually had responsive and consistent caregivers in childhood. They tend to feel safe and secure in relationships, are comfortable with intimacy, and can effectively communicate their needs and feelings.

Anxious Attachment (or Preoccupied Attachment): Those with this style often worry about their relationships and fear abandonment. They may be described as “clingy” or “needy.” This can stem from having inconsistent caregiving in childhood, where sometimes their needs were met, and other times they weren’t.

Avoidant Attachment (or Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment): Individuals with this style may seem emotionally distant and may have difficulty opening up or relying on others. This could arise from caregivers who were often emotionally unavailable or rejected.

Fearful-Avoidant Attachment (or Disorganized Attachment): This style combines anxious and avoidant attachment aspects. Individuals might crave closeness and intimacy but fear getting too close. They might have experienced traumatic caregiving in childhood, including neglect or abuse.
