The Fearful-Avoidant
You feel the pull toward people and the urge to protect yourself at once, so relationships can run hot and cold. It usually comes from learning that closeness wasn't always safe. This is the most tender pattern, and the one that tends to ease most with support.
What this usually looks like
- Wanting closeness, then needing to retreat from it
- Hard to trust, even when you want to
- Push-pull: drawn in, then pulling away
