Understanding Attachment Styles

Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, posits that the way caregivers relate to children significantly influences their adult relationships. Individuals can develop various attachment styles, such as anxious or avoidant, which impact their ability to connect with others. Anxiously attached individuals may constantly seek approval and feel inferior, leading to behaviors that ultimately sabotage their relationships. Conversely, those with avoidant attachment tend to push others away, fearing intimacy and connection, which can create challenges in their dating lives.
