In the avoidant type of attachment insecurity, the child ignores the caregiver who inconsistently shows attunement. They literally avoid their caregiver. But, this does not mean they lack feelings. In some instances, children with this 1/5
2/5 style appear to approach their caregiver when they’ve been separated and then sometimes, at the last moment, attempt to ignore them. Adults with this type of insecurity often experience themselves and are experienced by others as independent.
3/5 They can appear confident and accomplished. When in relationships though, they sometimes struggle to find closeness and can get to a point in the connection where they feel compelled to distance themselves or break up.
4/5 Since they experienced their caregivers as inconsistent at showing love, they sometimes believe that a romantic partner will be the same.
5/5 They just stop seeking emotional support and connection because they believe it will not be provided. #psychoanalysis #psychology #psychotherapy #psychtwitter #psychstudent #therapisttwitter #therapistsconnect
