Attached Book
The attached book begins by introducing the concept of attachment theory, which suggests that the way we form attachments in childhood influences our relationships in adulthood. According to attachment theory, there are three main attachment styles: secure, anxious, and avoidant.
- Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style feel comfortable with intimacy and can trust their partners. They are generally confident in themselves and their relationships.
- Anxious Attachment: People with an anxious attachment style crave closeness and worry about their partner’s availability and commitment. They may be overly sensitive to signs of rejection or abandonment.
- Avoidant Attachment: Those with an avoidant attachment style value independence and may feel uncomfortable with too much closeness or intimacy. They may prioritize self-reliance and have difficulty opening up to others.
