Too needy – or afraid to commit? Your attachment style is shaped by your upbringing, but you can alter it.
The child psychologist John Bowlby, who argued for our deep-seated desire for affection early in life, founded attachment science in the 1950s.
Early life experiences with your caregivers affect your expectations of what to expect from relationships throughout your life, both consciously and unconsciously.
This will assist you in comprehending why you behave in certain ways in relationships.
A secure attachment style exists, as well as three insecure attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, and disorganised. The common thread between them all is that you often expect to get treated based on how you got treated.
You're more prone to repeat the same behaviours and conflicts if you and your relationship partner don't understand each other's attachment patterns.
There are ways to start changing your attachment style intentionally, not just in romantic relationships, but also with friends, family, and coworkers, if you want to. Part of this entails recognising patterns in your behaviour and practising alternate responses.
