The Soulful Truth
You are not necessarily needy if you have an anxious attachment.
It indicates that because love felt erratic, you learned to pursue it.
You became extremely sensitive to rejection. You think too much about texts. Silence terrifies you.
Not because you’re overreacting-but because your nervous system remembers what it was like to feel invisible or unloved..
How It Affects Relationships
You might worry about being "too much."
You look for assurance all the time.
In relationships, you often give too much or lose your identity.
You draw in partners who are wary of intimacy.
Love becomes a vicious cycle of anxiety and overcompensation as a result.
The Reason It Hurts
Patterns of anxiety make you:
Tired from pursuing
Anxious even in stability
Disconnected from your own needs and voice
Resolving Anxious Attachment
Healing anxious attachment doesn’t mean loving less-it means loving yourself more.
With enough time and the appropriate direction, you can:
Control your emotional responses.
Build secure self-worth
Instead of learning codependency, learn interdependence.
A Question for Reflection
"What do I fear will happen if I'm not enough during emotional panic attacks?"
Love that doesn't feel like survival is what you deserve.
