Anxiety, Preoccupied and a Fear of Abandonment

People with this type of attachment style typically have a pretty negative self-image of themselves as being unlovable. They're often worried and anxious that their loved ones are not invested or as invested in the relationship as they are. Parents of children who become anxiously attached were perhaps not always there for their children. The dismissing or avoidant type, we would often see them as like lone wolves. It's generally characterised by a lack of emotional closeness.
