Attachment styles tend to be most obvious in intimate relationships, but I'm sure it could influence a lot more than that. What is your experience?

From my understanding there are four types of attachment (which can be seen in adults as well as children):
Secure;
Anxious–preoccupied;
Dismissive–avoidant;and
Fearful–avoidant
I haven't been diagnosed with an attachment disorder. I just fit the description of the fearful - avoidant attachment style.
