Adult attachment styles
Secure
People who have a secure attachment style believe
they are worthy of love and that other people are trustworthy and responsive. As a result, they are comfortable with intimacy but are also secure enough to be on their own.
Preoccupied
Those with preoccupied attachment believe they aren't worthy of love but generally feel others are supportive and accepting. Consequently, these individuals seek validation and self-acceptance through their relationships with others.
Dismissive-Avoidant
People with dismissive-avoidant attachment have a sense of their own self-worth but don't trust other people. This makes them dismissive of the value of intimacy, leading them to avoid close relationships.
Fearful-Avoidant
They believe they are unlovable and also don't trust other people to support and accept them. Because they think others will eventually reject them, they withdraw from relationships
