Around 80% of you will relate to one category more than the others. Those who don’t will probably be either closer to the secure category and thus have more flexible responses to relationship stress, or will be closer to the disorganized category and have more unpredictable responses to relationship stress. Also, keep in mind that attachment theory is meant to be applied to relationships with the strongest attachment bonds. Yes, attachment styles will show up in other relationships outside of your closest ones, but it’s not the same intensity or context. If you try to apply the theory to anyone and everyone in your life, things can start to get murky. Most people will have a similar attachment style in all of their romantic relationships throughout life (without working on it), but some can vary. What causes the variation goes beyond the scope of this post, but it can happen.
As with all categorizations and labels, the goal is to help you use the label to have a better understanding of yourself and what you can work on, not to put you in a box. Use this information to grow. If you don’t relate to any of it, that’s okay too…work on what you see as a problem. It’s more important to know that you have an insecure attachment at all than it is to know what exact style you are.
All of this stuff is workable. If that weren’t the case I wouldn’t be here telling people what is wrong for no good reason. This post is meant to provide understanding, but this entire account has info on HOW to heal, as well as my upcoming book Secure Love which is available for pre-order everywhere.
Lastly, we have relationships with ourselves and our own emotions which can be secure or insecure, and we have relationships with our partners which can be secure or insecure. Both matter and they work together. Work on both….how you help yourself in times of need, how you help your partner in times of need, how you communicate with yourself, and how you communicate with your partner. 🪴

Anxious partners tend to hover above the window during relationship stress, while avoidant partners tend to hover below it. Disorganized do some of both, depending on the situation, usually in a more exaggerated manner, and tend to stay above or below more often.
Relationship and self healing happens when you can help yourself and help each other in these places…so you can find your way back to the window. That means learning self-regulation and co-regulation techniques, learning better ways to communicate when you’re hurting, and building a safe relationship with your own body and with your partner so that you go there less often to begin with.
There are many layers to healing, and all of them are addressed in the various posts on this account. Check out the “start here” highlight. ❤️

"When Albert Einstein gave a conference at the many universities in the United States, the regular question that students asked him was:

" You, Mr. Einstein... Do you believe in God? "

What he always answered was this:

" I believe in the God of Spinoza. "

Only those who had read Spinoza understood...

Spinoza had spent his life studying holy books and philosophy, one day he wrote:

" I don't know if God actually spoke but if he did, here's what I think he would say to the believer:

What I want you to do is go out into the world to enjoy your life.

Stop going to those dark cold temples that you built yourself and say it's my house!

My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes.

This is where I live with you and express my love for you.

Stop rehashing 'sacred scriptures' that have nothing to do with me.

If you can't read me at dawn, in a landscape, in the eyes of your friend, your wife, your man, in your son's eyes...

I don't judge you, I don't criticize you. I don't come home angry and I don't punish.

I am pure love... I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies... and I gave you free will...

Respect your fellow people and don't do what you don't want for yourself.

All I'm asking is that you pay attention to your life, let your free will be your guide.

You and nature will have a single body... so don't believe you have power over it.

You're a part of her.

Take care of her and she'll take care of you. I put in you and made everything good for you and made it difficult to access what is not.

Don't put your genius in looking for what's bad for this balance.

It's up to you to keep this balance intact.

Nature knows how to keep it, just don't trouble it!

You are absolutely free to create a paradise or hell in your life.

I can't tell you if there's anything after this life, but I can give you some advice; Stop believing in me this way.

The only thing for sure is that you're here, that you're alive, that this world is full of wonder.

Don't look for me outside.

You won't find me...

I'm here... Nature,

The cosmos... It's me. "

- Baruch Spinoza -

"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.

With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.

White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.

When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.

People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.

There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”
