is that attachment style shit real

i’ll come up w short definitions for u guys
secure : u feel comfy w closeness and trust, but ur also ok being on ur own
anxious : u crave closeness a lot, worry ab ppl pulling away or not caring enough
avoidant : u keep distance to feel safe, don’t like depending on others or them depending on u
fearful avoidant : u want closeness but also fear it, so u kinda push-pull in relationships
im not sure if others exist, these are the ones that came to mind

im anxious
 
It's more nuanced than that. I feel like I'm more anxious when the relationship is going really well or really badly, but more avoidant when it's mundane.
 
@slopslinger @VioletHeartsease u two seem to know a bit about this. if anxious & avoidant attachment both grow from the same root wound, what decides which path a person takes? is it purely the kind of environment they had, or could subtle differences in temperament & perception make two ppl live the same event but build opposite defenses?
 
I guess what was trying to say is just that it’s not a constructive system of thought, in general you shouldn't try to label so yourself and others so neatly.
yes i agree & also tell me which style u think u are?
 
Yeah, but why do people care about it so much? If you truly liked someone and you saw a future with them, you’d do anything to be with them. This attachment stuff is just excuses, excuses to sleep around or have a short term relationship or whatever.

It’s absolutely real, but very over exaggerated.

I have no idea, but If I wanted to find out I would just look up whatever freud has to say abt it.

attachment stuff isn’t an excuse. ppl react differently to trauma, and a lot of it happens subconsciously. they’re not sitting there planning to hurt anyone. for example, an avoidant person actually wants closeness, but their fear makes them pull back, so it looks like they don’t care when really they’re protecting themselves in the only way they know works.

Yeah, I’m more so talking about the people who sit in TikTok comment sections self-diagnosing themselves with depression and bipolar and attachment issues.

For the people who actually have it, it’s a real thing.

literally this people only entertain these delusions to feel special and excuse their behavior. just words that don't mean anything only good for manipulating people who don't know any better.

ppl who actually do have these attachment issues need therapy

Hard to say, it’s a mixture of several things

Two notes: don’t consider these things as overly polarised
I even think that the two can be interchangeable depending on the situation

yes i feel penis envy in the way guys can blast roids & grill burgers and kick balls around happily
tbh i don’t experience much cattiness w my gfs irl, it depends on the girls u surround urself w. catty girls usually have lives that revolve around men, chasing male validation
but im sure all of us find ourselves chasing the validation of the opposite gender tho so im not judging rlly, it just gets to a point
