Attachment Anxiety

Attachment anxiety is a fear of losing closeness or support from a loved one, often resulting in worry about being abandoned or not being valued. People with this attachment style might seek constant reassurance, feel insecure in relationships, and become overly sensitive to perceived signs of rejection. It usually stems from early caregiving experiences where emotional needs were inconsistently met. This anxiety can affect relationship stability, leading to behaviors driven by fear rather than trust, but it can be managed through awareness, communication, and building self-confidence.
