Are You Always Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop? You May Be Anxiously Attached
If you often feel like you care more than the other person, or constantly worry that a partner is going to leave, you might lean toward an anxious attachment style. You may crave closeness but fear it's not mutual. Small changes in someone’s tone or mood can feel huge.
This isn’t about being “too much”, it’s about your nervous system trying to protect you. Often, anxious attachment develops when early relationships are inconsistent or unpredictable.
Understanding this pattern can be the first step in shifting it. Therapy can help you build trust in both yourself and your relationships, and learn to meet your needs in healthy ways.
