Individuals with avoidant attachment styles often fear vulnerability due to past hurts, viewing relationships as potentially harmful. Despite this fear, there remains a deep-seated longing for connection, driven by our genetic predisposition as social beings. Contrary to the misconception that the attachment style developed in childhood is fixed for life, secure attachment styles exemplify the ability to navigate relationship challenges, embrace vulnerability, and foster intimacy. Approximately 60% of the population exhibits secure attachment, highlighting that it is more common than perceived. From an evolutionary standpoint, cultivating secure bonds enhances relational success, reinforcing the notion that adaptability in attachment styles is possible.
