There are different types of attachment anxiety, and they play a role in helping us connect to each other. How people connect with others on an emotional level is likely influenced by childhood. During childhood, you develop an attachment style that affects conflict responses, how needs are communicated, and what you expect from others. All of these elements influence your life and the decisions you make. Understanding the cause behind this type of attachment is unclear. How your parents raised you, and the behaviors you grew up around may also be factors. Signs of attachment vary but may include being overly sensitive, impulsive, and have difficulty trusting others. Sometimes a person develops problems with anxiety or develops an anxiety disorder. Attachment anxiety can affect how you interact with others. It can affect relationships, making them unstable, emotional, and stressful. Dealing with anxious attachment includes learning how to change your attachment style, be self-aware of your behavior when interacting with others, and getting support through therapy.
