This is me 100%. I've learned to manage it for the most part, but essentially some of the anxiousness can manifest itself in physical ways. I used to feel more open, and now I hold back. I guess holding back provides me with some artificial emotional protection. The one thing that has helped me is exercise, walking, yoga. All of this helps me to stay in the moment, and try not to over think things. Thanks Clayton! Your videos are always educational.

Truly appreciate your insights, Clayton. I would say that I've swung to both sides of the pendulum of anxious vs avoidant and have found myself in a space where I am currently identifying as securely attached. I've found my security through becoming quite good at receiving telepathic communication for security, rather than seeking incessant material validation. Valuing prayer and guidance from Yahweh has helped me to trust in a "divine purposefulness" regarding the "waiting time" in my life, as well. Those two things together have completely shifted my paradigm around relationships. (I click on social media apps a lot out of a compulsive habit but I'm not concerned about what I will or wont see, at all. ;)) God bless!

SO good! Up until now, I've been more Anxious, but I'm moving toward Secure attachment. Building a more Secure attachment style DOES build trust in your relationship, I've found that to be true. I also liked how you put "love your attachment style" as Step One. Love yourself, accept yourself. That in itself builds self-confidence. Self regulate! Love that. Thank you for this new perspective!

I’m a former anxious attachment style that transformed into secure attachment. I find it can hybrid at times but you are correct that when my language came in, after so many years of observation and grabbing onto the invitation of healing in it cyclical nature, communication is now my strongest asset because of this attachment style. Thank God for patient perseverance 😅 & grace. As I embodied more of the woman that I was made to be thru my faith, I am much sharper at identifying when it starts to teeter totter while small to shore those part of me up & stay in secure attachment. Btw I literally can see your heart & think you are a beautiful example of what a man looks like evolved and integrated. Thank you for doing the work to be an example.

I rarely hear the positive sides of this attachment. I appreciated watching this video for balance. I have anxious attachment and I cold relate to what you talked about

[irishsakura]

I think I’m anxiously attached. I’m going to watch more of your videos to figure out why I’m bad at relationships.

[jasonkresock]

BEST video on the topic. My partner is definitely showing use of this trait as a Superpower. It’s part of what attracted me to him.

Thank you, Clayton! I am Anxious Attachment and so get what you were saying! We do get caught in the Anxious and Avoidant partnership trap quite often, with each triggering the other. As a result of learning about my attachment style, and the other attachment styles, I have increased understanding and compassion for myself and others and gained better tools and strategies for relationship navigation.
One of the Anxious Preoccupied's super powers is definitely connection.💚🌿🌟

Boy Clayton, you have described me to a T. I definitely have an anxious attachment style! I try to keep it under control but sometimes it takes over.

[jademong]

this video saved me. i 'm in an emotional breakdown. watching this video i feel saved. (I 'm anxious-attached by the way.)

[Fazefazefaze]

This was so beautiful because you are speaking from a place of knowledge and understanding.

[autumnjmo]

I journaled about everything you touched on this morning before coming across this video. I don’t think it’s coincidence 💫. Definitely needed this right now. Thank you, Clayton 🙏

[henakulsumkhan]

I would come under the category of anxiously attached and this leads to me getting into depression and probably sabotaging the relationship

[zqnkpoe]

This is gold! It's so helpful to realize that even though we might feel anxiously attached, we are not broken. Our burden can definitely become a blessing. Thank you, Clayton! 😃🙏🏻😊

[jokbbhv]

🎉 thanking you Clayton, again this is the space, distance, space and frequency, i am applying to my career right now, and I would like to do the same working on myself towards relationship ready.

[knitnpaint]

I am AA. Just asked for 3 months space from my avoident partner (1 year 3 mo. with him) to work with Pia Mellody's book on Facing Love Addiction and healing my childhood wounds. He still might not be my guy. He is really avoident.
The anxiety went through the painful roof. I finally had a conversation with the anxiety and here I am fairly calm going through withdrawl. Reaching out to local SLAA.
Love you Clayton. 💃🏼

What? Embrace, perhaps even love, the parts of me that reside in anxious attachment? I write and manage contracts for a government agency. The part of me that is anxious attachment is what makes me really good at this work. I can spot holes, deficiencies, and issues before they become big problems. I hadn’t thought about it this way before. I’ve been doing the personal excavating to move more to secure attachment, and it’s working. I find myself single again after being engaged. Pretty much blindsided by it. This video is timely. Thanks for giving me the space to potentially love this part of me. You’re right about shaming not being effective.

[teresaquinn]

Thank you. This was really good. I struggle with anxious insecure attachments and this was refreshing to here.

[LibraLady-hgpd]

Found your video not 30 min ago. Feels like ive come home. Def anxious attatchment at this time. Exploring your other videos. Feeling great relief.

[lynneroullier]

Thank you so much for this Clayton. Yes surely an anxious attachment for this one! So much you confirm what I am slowly learning in relationship. Yes there are hidden treasures. It just takes courage on both our sides to keep our Hearts open and be the Love we are in Trust.
