Attachment Theory

There are four attachment styles:

Secure,

anxious-preoccupied,

dismissive-avoidant, and

fearful-avoidant

These styles impact interpersonal dynamics, from friendships to romantic relationships. 

Here's a more detailed look at each style (found on Google - need to find better source):

1. Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style feel comfortable with intimacy and independence, trust their partners, and can express their emotions openly. They have a positive view of themselves and others, and can navigate relationships with healthy boundaries. 

2. Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment: People with this style crave closeness and intimacy but fear being abandoned. They may be overly sensitive to their partner's actions and moods, and may worry about their partner's feelings or their own worthiness. 

3. Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment: Those with a dismissive-avoidant style prioritize independence and often avoid emotional intimacy. They may be aloof or detached, prefer to handle things on their own, and avoid discussing deep feelings. 

4. Fearful-Avoidant Attachment (Disorganized): This style involves a mixed pattern of both anxious and avoidant tendencies. Individuals with this style may experience conflicting emotions and behaviors in relationships, often stemming from unresolved trauma or inconsistent caregiving in their childhood. They may crave closeness but also fear rejection or vulnerability.
