🔵 SECURE ATTACHMENT

You value emotional intimacy and believe in open and honest communication. You trust your partner and feel secure in knowing that you can depend on them for support. Your secure attachment style also extends to your friendships and you foster deep and meaningful connections with your friends. Your secure attachment style enables you to form and maintain healthy relationships. You have a positive self-image and feel worthy of love and care.

🔵 ANXIOUS ATTACHMENT

You have a fear of abandonment that caused you to seek reassurance and validation within your romantic relationships. You tend to worry about the status and security of your relationship, often overanalysing situations and seeking excessive reassurance from your partner. You have a strong desire for closeness and intimacy but fear rejection. You struggle with trusting your partner's intentions and always feel the need to test their commitment. In your friendships you exhibit similar behaviour and have a constant need for reassurance, seek frequent contact and fear rejection.

🔵 AVOIDANT ATTACHMENT

You have a strong desire for independence and self-reliance. You feel suffocated by the emotional intensity and expectations of your romantic partners. You tend to keep your emotions guarded and avoid getting too close. You prioritise your independence and personal space, often seeking alone time to recharge and maintain a sense of autonomy. You believe that relying on others will only lead to disappointment and a loss of freedom. You have no close friends only acquaintances.

🔵 DISORGANISED ATTACHMENT

In your romantic relationships you experience intense internal conflicts, often oscillating between a desire for closeness and a fear of abandonment or harm. This leads to contradictory behaviours such as pushing your partner away and also longing for their presence. (PAUSE) This push-pull dynamic means you alternates between moments of intense intimacy and sudden distancing. Your fear of abandonment make it challenging for you to develop and sustain secure and trusting relationships. In friendships you also struggle with establishing and maintaining stable connections. You have difficulties trusting your friends and move between a stance of being overly reliant and distancing yourself.
