  • Essay / My Attachment Style Assessment - 729

    After taking the online Attachment Style Test, my attachment style fell into the first quadrant which is the Secure Attachment Pattern. This attachment style tends to have low levels of anxiety and low levels of avoidance. So far I don't agree with this result because it doesn't fit my current personality. According to my results on The Attachment Style test, my attachment anxiety score is 3.61, on a scale of 1 to 7 and my attachment score is 3.47, which is also on a scale from 1 to 7. As I can You see, I have a perfect space to fit into the secure attachment model, but in reality, I don't think that's true for me.

Finally I found him, my current boyfriend who is not only my partner, but he is also my best friend. He pushed me towards the real world and helped me stay away from my avoidance larva by forcing me not to hide my feelings and advising me to talk often to people around to create new relationships. I gradually changed, I found that life was better when I connected with people. Even though it was just a small step compared to my whole life, I think my attachment will improve as long as I have enough effort and good environments. In my experience, insecure attachment styles are not permanent, anyone can change them, but it will be harder to overcome when attachment breaks away from personalities as people get older. The reason is that when people have had their attitudes for too long, they can't escape them immediately, but I think time, effort and environment are needed to change a person's attachment style.
