AttachmentATTACHMENT
The way one person connects to another person is their attachment style. This style is formed early on in life based on the way that significant adults have interacted with the young children they take care of.
It’s how our attachments are formed that makes us secure or insecure in our relationships. As we grow and interact with more people, our attachment style can evolve and change.
