I score as dismissive, though close to the fearful/avoidant boundary. I'm not sure how well dismissive fits. I'm neither self-confident, nor perceived as hostile by others, which, according to the survey are common characteristics of dismissive individuals.

With my T, I think I started off as avoidant and somehow moved into the preoccupied/anxious range. I avoid closeness with most people, even though I want it. Now I've become terrified of abandonment by my T, which is just weird, because its so opposite to my experience in other relationships.

On the other hand, I allow myself to be a lot more vulnerable with my T than with other people, so maybe that's where the anxiety comes from.

If I had to guess, I'd say my T falls more toward the avoidant side of the spectrum herself. Or maybe that's just how I experience her connection with me.
