Are you someone who struggles with forming and maintaining close relationships? It could be a sign that you have a fearful avoidant attachment style. Here are three common signs to look out for:
1. You crave intimacy, but are afraid of getting too close. Fearful avoidant individuals tend to feel a strong desire for emotional connection and intimacy with others, but they also have a deep fear of being rejected, hurt, or abandoned. This fear can lead them to push others away or sabotage their own relationships.
2. You have a tendency to isolate yourself. Fearful avoidant individuals may withdraw from social situations or avoid getting too involved with others. They may feel more comfortable being alone, as they fear that getting too close to others will lead to rejection or disappointment.
3. You struggle with trust issues. Fearful avoidant individuals may have a hard time trusting others, even if they have known them for a long time. They may be suspicious of others’ motives and intentions, and may fear that they will be hurt or betrayed.
If you identify with any of these signs, it may be helpful to seek support from a therapist, coach or counsellor. With the right tools and resources, it’s possible to develop more secure attachment styles and build healthy, fulfilling relationships. #attachmentstyle #mentalhealthawareness #fearfulavoidant #therapy #selfcare
