Thanks everyone for sharing. I have never heard of this model/theory before and I find it very interesting.

Granite, what I find interesting about you is that you chose the label which results from low self worth and lack of trust in others but you do get close to others here. You really allow others to get close to you here. So IMO you must trust others more then you think?

Same with you Suzzie. I feel that you also allow others to get close to you here.

Maybe I am in the same boat with this even though I chose the one which doesn't trust others?

I don't trust others because of my mother. My self worth is adequate maybe because of my dad? My dad had problems but much less than my mother. I just always remember feeling that I can't rely on anyone for anything.

Of course I have worked on this over the years and I have improved. I am very close to my husband and children and we have excellent communication but I still don't have close friends!

I figured out over the last few years what I do to keep others back (like be different from everyone else) and I distrust group pressure and always want to be an individual.
