I've done a lot of reading about attachment styles after my therapist suggested it a while ago.
I fit into fearful-avoidant as I display both sides - I want to be close but I push away and won't rely on anyone. I do not have the dependant factor, as I don't trust anyone else to be there for me. The thing that doesn't fit me about fearful-avoidant is that I haven't experienced any extreme abuse or losses. I'm just a mix of the two.
My thoughts and emotions fit with anxious-preoccupied, but my behaviours fit with dismissive-avoidant.
