Coping With an Insecure Attachment Style
Mental health is often discussed in terms of diagnoses and pathological issues. But it’s important to look at behavior and problems concerning the environment and other people too.
The people around you can have a huge impact on your well-being. It’s also important to look at the fit between your personality and someone else’s personality.
Relationships have the power to help you be your best, as well as the power to drag you down a bit.
Two healthy people may still have some dysfunctional dynamics. Similarly, two individuals struggling in life might come together to bring out the best in one another. And while you can’t change the people around you, you can certainly change your behavior—which can shift a relationship.
Dr. Amir LevineThe attachment style you have in childhood is not necessarily the attachment style you’re going to have as an adult.
