Attachment Styles
Attachment styles describe common patterns of closeness, trust, and emotional connection. They can influence how people respond to intimacy, distance, reassurance, and conflict in relationships.

Feeling safer when relationships seem predictable
Overthinking texts, distance, or mixed signals
Pulling away when vulnerability feels uncomfortable

Why It Happens
Attachment patterns often begin in early relationships where we
learn what closeness, safety, and support feel like.
Over time, these experiences can shape how we expect others to
