Characteristics of Avoidant Attachment

The avoidant attachment style tends to avoid intimacy and dependence. People with this style often have anxiety and fear about relationships due to past traumas or experiences. They avoid emotional closeness and dependence, engaging in self-protective behaviors. They seek to establish their self-worth and security without relying on others. Often feeling lonely and anxious, they try to avoid these feelings by avoiding relationships. While avoiding others to protect themselves, they may cut off connections and support from others. This attachment style's fear of trust and intimacy can lead to isolation and psychological issues, making appropriate support or counseling necessary.
