Attachment styles formed during early childhood can have a big impact on how we build relationships when we get older. Here’s a simple explanation:
Secure Attachment: When a child feels safe and loved, they learn to trust others. This helps them make healthy friendships. For example, they are likely to share their feelings with friends easily.
Anxious Attachment: If a child experiences mixed signals from their caregivers, they might become very clingy in relationships. They often worry about being left alone.
Avoidant Attachment: Some children learn to be very independent. As adults, they might find it hard to get close to others. They often choose to be alone instead of forming deep connections.
Remember, how we relate to others often starts when we are very young!
