What Your Attachment Style Says About Your Personality

Have you ever wondered what your attachment style says about your personality? Your attachment style can provide insight into the types of relationships you’re likely to develop throughout your life. From the type of people you meet to the type of partner you are, your attachment style influences all kinds of interesting things about you, including your personality type. So, watch this video to find out what your attachment style says about your personality.

Disclaimer: Like any “type” or “style,” though, these are meant to be a guide. People are much too complex to always fit neatly into categories. That means it is possible to relate to more than one type or style.

Learning about attachment styles is of monumental importance for personal development. I cannot stress enough how much of a better understanding I have acquired about a close loved one's behaviour, as well as my own.

My attachment style: *Well nothing just trash :(*

[craigmerighe]

I’ve been an anxious attachment all my life, BUT, through hard work and perseverance, I am now a secure attachment man.

Amanda's voice is so calming...even the auto generated captions caught everything she said!

I did a quiz on this, my scores where:
Fearful avoidance:27%
Anxious preoccupied:27%
Dismissive avoidance:27%
Secure:19%

Question:
Did you guys specifically pick people for smooth calming voices?
Or did it just become a coincidence?
(This is an actual question)

The last two attachment styles sound like my childhood. But I feel like I've had enough experience to exercise and strengthen secure attachments. It's still a work in progress :-)

Adults are described as having four attachment styles: 👇
Secure, Anxious-preoccupied, Dismissive-avoidant, and Fearful-avoidant. The secure attachment style in adults corresponds to the secure attachment style in children.

I definitely fall into the anxious/ambivalent attachment section. My parents were always very clear that they loved and supported me. But I think at least one of them has a mild form of bi-polar disorder. So I've spent most of my life constantly wondering what kind of mood they're in and how to shift my responses accordingly. It's an on-going guessing game. Even now that I'm an adult (and for financial reasons am living at home for a little bit) it feels like my dad is the hormonal teenage girl of the family. I'm starting to wonder if he has symptoms of early onset dementia. I'm tired of being the reasonable adult in our relationship. In my own romantic relationships I tend not to believe compliments or when they say that they love me. Maybe it would just take a long enough relationship. But two of my boyfriend have had emotional disorders or an unhealthy obsession, while the other one broke up with me.

i recently discovered attachment theory and i find it really helpful because it makes me understand myself better. i think for sure i’m anxious-attached. i tend to get really clingy and obsessive to people who give me attention and comfort. i start becoming very emotionally dependent on them and it affects me. recently, i’ve been trying to heal from this attachment style. It makes a lot of sense because i don’t recall my parents not fulfilling my needs but sometimes they weren’t there for me when i wanted them to be. i was a really anxious, quiet kid and i remember getting attached to pretty much anybody who seemed like they cared.

Okay, you thank us everyday but we really should be the ones to thank you. You've been very very active and you've never skipped a video without thanking us AND you have been covering ALL the topics we want to hear about. Thank you very much psych2go <3

[NoWyre]

I feel like I am a mix of anxious & disorganized avoidant-fearful attachment.

What about a video to cover emotional dependency? I realized I relied on other people to make me happy, so I recently took a social media break to take care of myself and I found it helped a lot. I'm sure you guys know of more strategies that would be interesting to share with everyone else struggling with a similar situation.

I still don't understand how people commented 2 weeks ago.... 👁️👄👁️

[serendipitysaudio]

I did the quiz and got
Sercure: 25%
Dismissive: 31%
Fearful avoidance: 25%
Anxious preoccupied: 19%

[stephanieh]

I have a secure attachment style.

However, my last relationship made me so anxious!

My las relationship was with an avoidant attachment, it was so frustrating because I would do EVERYTHING to make him comfortable . .
When I get back on dating, I'm going to ask about their attachment style.

[dejamayfield]

Watching this with tears coming down my face. I’m almost 23 and I’ve never had a healthy relationship with a man because it’s so hard. It’s so hard for me to be vulnerable and emotionally intimate. I always go for the wrong men because I my perception of love is so flawed. Im so scared to be a mom, I never wanna put my kids through this.
