Anxious Attachment Style

An anxious attachment style is the result of feelings of abandonment and insecurity during early stages to throughout childhood.It can manifest in interpersonal relationships, like feeling unworthy of being loved or forgetting personal needs in favor of a partners or friends needs.This attachment style identifies as being clingy, needy, hyper vigilant and jealous. It can also be described as an intense fear of rejection.It is like having a constant dance between craving intimacy and fearing vulnerability, like to conflict forces. This internal chaos can lea to a sense of confusion, insecurity and difficulty trusting others. This can engage over analysis of behaviour and actions when something unpredictable happens and would always blame themselves. In an attempt to avoid appearing 'needy' or insecure' they might suppress their feelings and internalise them instead of communicating. Feeling like they are being ignored can trigger anxiety, especially if they interpret the silence as a sign of rejection or abandonment. Individuals with disorganised attachment may cope with that by withdrawing emotions and avoiding further interaction to protect themselves. They may alternate between seeking emotional closeness and withdrawing from it out of fear of vulnerability and rejection. These individuals share traits with both anxious attachers and avoidant attachers, making them 'fearful avoidants' also called disorganised. Its important too note that these reactions can vary widely among individuals with the same attachment styles, and not everybody will respond in the same way.They require constant validation to know that their partner loves them and will not leave them. they individuals are more likely to engage in malipulation behaviour.
