Anxious vs. Avoidant Attachment

Anxious and avoidant are two different types of insecure attachment styles.

Avoidant attachment, on the other hand, is marked by discomfort with closeness and a strong value for independence and self-sufficiency, often leading to emotional detachment and avoidance of intimacy.
