WHAT ATTACHMENT STYLE ARE YOU?

========
Let me guess, you have done more than your fair share of a little digging into the self-improvement and personal development niche, tried all the tips and tricks, and done everything RIGHT.
And yet, you still find yourself struggling with finding the kind of love life and/or partner that you want.
And it's driving you a little crazy, because NOTHING seems to be working like it should.
“Just stop wanting [whatever you want] and then it will find you.”
Pfft.
Riiiiiight.
How’s that going for you?
Frustrating, I know.
If you’re interested in finding out why that’s the case, this video is for you.
In my community, I get a lot of questions like,
“Why am I still single when I’ve been doing everything right?”
“How can I heal myself so I can finally find and deserve a secure partner?”
“I can go from insecure to secure if attachment styles can change?”
If you continue to approach it from this perspective, like an A to B equation, it will take a LONG time to get to where you’re going.
If you’re trying to find felt security FAST, and avoid spending a ton of time, money, and heartache doing it, you have to shift your perceptions of what it means to be “secure.”

I like how you portray being secure as a way of acting rather than a way of being, like it's not its own state but a set of behaviours that anyone can really have should they choose to take them on... It's interesting, and makes the whole journey a lot more manageable and realistic rather than changing who we are (which is what I find is the most common portrayal of the topic), essentially

Yes, just that in the same time when you are taken by the overwhelming feeling, are you really able to change your "behaviour"? It seems more manageable and for some types of personalities it may really be, but I, myself, knowing how I am, prefer the longer way, the more difficult way, but the one that would not be me basically controlling my emotions (although, of course, this kind of coping advice can help, come in handy from time to time and we should definetely also learn them as they can be complementary). For me, for the long lasting effect or for genuine healing, there is the longer road that goes through self exploration etc.or a combination of the 2, but, definetely, a thorough self understanding and curing deep wounds works better. Or I may say, it is the only way that, for me, really works. Maybe if the issue at hand is not really strong or big you could just change your behaviour and it would be enough, but if the issue is deep rooted and the feeling you experience is really powerful (for example fear of abandonment or a fear of commitment and eagerness to run), then I think that just changing your behaviour would be unrealistic. Of course , as said before, there are different types of personalities, and it is better to choose what helps and what suits you better. Just be sure it is not a momentary fix, a way of covering deeper wounds. As an example of me not handling things just by "correct" thinking - in one relationship I had such strong fear that he would leave me and such rage that he would not write me, that I could not stop checking the phone obssesively. It was with this only guy that I felt this way, I was usually cool in my other relationships. Of course, I knew this was an exaggeration and I kept telling myself all the right words, but I was taken by the emotions. Digging deeper, there were pains from the past under the whole story and, of course, it had to do with loving oneself and believing and appreciating oneself. So, yes I do not believe in quick fixes for me, although miracles can happen, a sudden consciousness, etc. All is possible. I am, though, open that for others these tips may solve at least some of their problems if not the issue completely. And, I also think that what she says is that, when you have a healthy attachement style, you still feel the worry (sometimes, I may add), it is not that you are made of steel. But, believe me as I was there, there is a completely different feeling. Yes, you may worry, but with a healthier approach this worries only last some minutes, they do not linger, you immediately cast them out, because you are secure in yourself, know who you are, etc. You may still care deeply for that person and the relationship, but you know that eventually you have yourself and that you will be able to cope with whatever and you do not attach desperately to the other person (or run away with the first fears or worries of commitement that may appear - if you are not ready to commit you communicate or you wait and have pacience to see where all this is going, etc.) Maybe, in my case it was because the other 2 guys loved me and I could feel it, but it can also happen that you do not even think about the possibility the other person might leave you, it just does not cross your mind. Well, maybe I was too sure of their love, they had probably a healthy attachement style and if I was something, I was more the avoidant in one of these relationships. And another thing. Someone studying this told me once that you may have diiferent attachement styles depending on the person you are in the relationship with, as it may trigger different things in you. Interesting to think about. It all depends on feelings and how strong they are, I guess, also. The guy with whom I was afraid he would leave had, I believe, a more avoidant style and this triggered my fear of abandonment. Thanks for reading :)

TL;DR: You must observe your insecurity from the outside and command yourself not to act on its impulses. Easy to say but really hard to achieve as an anxious person. This was a great insight Briana. Thanks-

Hey good synthesis, but I think you miss the key point, which might also be the stepping stone, the final step toward and the most important one toward becoming secure: compassion. If there is one word here I would say it's this one. I think if you have compassion for yourself on thoses moments it means that you've been able to pull yourself out of automaticly indudlging in the behavior, and that you reached toward a wisdom required: you're choosing yourself first. It means a lot I think, and it's a process I thought about it yesterday having not seen the video yet and I know it comes after having being 100% sick of being insecure, willing to do absolutely anything to change might it be quitting everything and going to live in India or whatever. At some point maybe depending on what you experience/read/think you will give this answer: why not be by my side at thoses very moments of defeat ?

I found that it is a matter of building good habits one bit at a time, even if you do it by one step forward and two steps back, it is still a tiny progress that might encourage you (usually does) to keep building on it. At the same time, I found that the anxiety-fuelled impulses I have (checking his fb, ruminating and whatnot) are bad habits like nail-biting or stress eating junk food. The more I do it, the more I want to do it and I make myself and others crazy. I found helpful ideas in ocd and addiction management techniques to curb my anxious habits as well. It's tough but the sense of accomplishment and control I get from the tiniest victory is priceless and creates a virtuous cycle that lasts for some time (until I hit a tough spot and regress for a bit 😅, but then it's easier to get back on the track I previously was on)

So: 1. stop expressing anxious thoughts and start noticing them from a distance, but don’t notice them for too long or you will bottle them up and have trust issues when people ask if you are okay and you say you are 2. tolerate the fact that you have anxious thoughts 3. accept your anxious thoughts 4. ?????

Thank you! Just found out about my fearful-avoidant attachment style today. All this time, I’ve been trying to appear like a normal, functioning person by hiding my insecurities, but it never worked out that well, because deep down I knew I was still that highly anxious person, afraid of exposing others to my true emotions. Never actually thought of having a conversation with my anxiety & avoidance until coming across your video, and it clicked very well. Thank you so much for sharing - and I will definitely give it a try!

You're so spot on, and so articulate and it's so easy for you to weave all these complex emotional states together. You were able to say in this 10 minute video what I've been trying to grasp for 13 years. I practice EFT on myself and clients, and you just shined a much brighter light on worry/anxiety. Thanks to you, I can go much much deeper now. Hallelujah! You can literally apply this wisdom in this video to ALL WORRIES, not just with a relationship. You gave away (for fee) real gems here. I had countless "ah ha" moments while listening to you 8 times, hehe. You are helping take away unnecessary suffering and I am eternally grateful to know you exist. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Omg! You explained it! This is exactly what happened in my previous relationship. I was always anxious. And pretended not to be. My words often didn't match my actions. Which spiraled into white lies, which caused her not to trust me. And round and round we went. Untill she ultimately broke up with me 🤦😔 Thank you for the enlightenment. I will chalk it up as, lesson learned.

I was with a wonderful man who is as you describe yourself. I saw his soul and his damage. I tried to stay but just finally a month ago had to put my needs above his. Heart wrenching. I still hope that he will somehow do his own work. But I can’t wait for it anymore. He grew so much when we were together ( I did too… I’m anxious becoming secure) but sometimes I wonder if deep inside there really wasn’t growth. Can you speak to that? How was it for you? Was any of the growth real?

@@63amyc While she and I were together, my growth was minimal unfortunately. I thought at the time I was making good progress. But now I realize I was only taking her for granted. I would tell her that I was taking positive steps to better my situation. And in some ways I was. But with minimal effort. I would tell her things I thought she needed to hear, I would tell her that I was doing much better than I actually was. I would make little changes here and there. But nothing extravagant. I felt uncomfortable and insecure because I was lying. I felt emotionally distant from her. And I didn't like that at all. I tried to hide that as well. I was also getting and giving emotional support to a female friend of mine. I was telling my friend how I was feeling about my girlfriend. I wanted things between my girlfriend and I to get better. I truly loved her. And in many ways I still do. I just made a big mess of things. And I couldn't figure out how to straighten it out. I omitted telling her about my friend. And that later got revealed. All of my lies began to unravel. And it eventually led to the end of our relationship. Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone. Only after she left me, did I make a genuine effort to improve my life. I'm doing amazing now, and I've come a long way. I miss her and I wish she could see how well I'm doing now. But unfortunately, I fear the lies were too much, and I waited too long. It's likely too late for us 😔

instead of saying to myself (like I used to, trapping myself in hopelessness) "I am an anxious person", I am trying to remind myself that instead, because of certain events in my life, "I am a person who HAS anxiety, but also the ability and willingness to challenge it with micro acts of daily courage" and it does change the perspective over time. I have to monitor it though, as my natural go-to state of mind would be identifying with the symptom. Baby steps and mindfulness ❤

This is genuine thing I wonder when two lovers are married , isn't it possible that once in a lifetime one can face huge depression and many trouble and be avoidant for prolonged period. I mean we can't be there for anyone unless we are there first for ourselves. I feel sometimes it's not always possible for each partner to connect and keep the other happy , it's important for the other partner to be secure enough to understand it. I have a realistic expectation now from Relationship that no one can be consistently secure for the other partner.

I really need this question answered. I was in a 22 year marriage with a man who valued his space and was emotionally disconnected. During our separation he would reconnect with me and then completely separate himself from me and blame me for it. 2.5 years later I was spending time with a new man. I sensed him pulling away but he did not communicate why. I had such a powerful, visceral reaction. It caught me off guard. I told him how I was feeling and what I needed. The new man walked away. I do not want to repeat this. Its very painful. Outside of romantic relationships I feel secure and love and value myself. I know what I need and am not afraid to ask for it. Will I ever be able to not push men away? 💔

Have you looked at your Meyers-briggs type? If you are an ENFP or NF in general you might try to find other NF types and avoid SJ types as a starting point. Not to say all SJ relationships are bound to be problematic, but if you want someone to understand your emotions and not feel overwhelmed, and actually appreciate your honesty, then it’ll be much easier with an empath, ENFJs are awesome too.

Thank you very good explanation. I feel like a "healed anxious" attachment, I've done lots of work to get where I am. But I just ended a relationship with someone who has a "disorganized" (fearful avoidant) style. I honestly couldn't keep going with it. My boundaries were disregarded, I was being pushed away but yet we were very intimate with each other. Had amazing times but then she kept asking if my friends knew about her and wanting me to be "all in" a month into the relationship. I knew where it was all coming from, I could see right through the behaviour into the wounds but I still had to let her go. What can I learn from this?

So I ended it four months ago out of self respect. As you see below I was in the friend zone. So about a week ago I asked her for one of her recipes to which she replied with a video. Happy with that. Much too quickly - four days - much too quickly... I sent her a photograph of my cat nicely perched on a cushion gift she gave me for Christmas. To which I got this reply. "Andy I wld appreciate if you wld refrain from sending me anymore texts. I am trying to move on from this painful period in my life and it does not help when you approach me and text me. Your wish was to end our friendship and I have honoured that and I only ask that you allow me to move on. Thank you." Well I'm privileged that she admits it has been painful for her. She's an Avoidant and I'd been feeling ill treated for a long time. I actually felt she had done all but dump me. I think the best thing to do is to leave this for a few weeks even a month or so and come up with a reply. The question is... what reply. I love her dearly and have immense compassion for her. Stick around for further installments.

I feel like I finally understand myself. I've never been in a romantic relationship despite desperately wanting love - I always sabatoge my chances no matter how much I like the person. The idea of someone loving me back like that scares me. But now I found someone I truly, really love, and it's unlike anything I've ever experienced. I feel myself wanting to push them away the more I want to keep them close. So basically...therapy time

Tried the quiz: Had to just pick an answer to go on. NONE of the answers fit me. Indeed, while the names vary there are always four -- secure, avoidant, disorganized and anxious. You need another. Basically these are 4 ways to play the relationship game. There's a fourth way: "Don't play" Don't have relationships at all. Have shallow intellectual associations, but don't feel anything strongly for anyone. This is not rare in the CPTSD circle. I've take a bunch of variants of this test. I always get about 30% secure and the rest more or less equally split.

You can’t rid yourself of the feeling. you can only have endless compassion for it and not act on the anxiety…so that might mean meeting your needs in such an intimate and safe way. You must accept that that people are beyond our control even when they know we are struggliiiiing…the blessing is you will not abandon yourself…you will have compassion you can and you will…they can leave or they can stay…several times…but you must stay in there and hang in there fully present and compassionate towards yourself 💗💗💗💗💗

@globalmark Yeah, Im not sure breaking no contact is best. Why should we chase someone that doesn’t want to be in our lives? Wouldn’t that cause their emotional attraction for us to decrease? I do want her back and hope she reaches out but Im uncertain about breaking NC. I did see that DAs don’t miss the person till about the 6 week mark so we shall see.

@ globalmark Sounds like a plan. She did reach out with an indirect/direct message after one week but i pressed to hard and she went silent. What do you define as a light message? Can you give me an example. Still not sure if Ill hear from her again but in case I do I would like to be prepared.

I hate being the anxious one and being so attracted to the avoidants!!! I want to be myself and be attracted to my good match. This is so frustrating. (He kisses a girl on the mouth in front of me and neither one of us is his girlfriend and he knew I was in love with him.) It took 11 men in a tantra speed dating event that lasted three hours to have one day without the urge to contact him!
