Hi!!!!! I hope everyone is having a great day.
I am a highly sensitive person and startle easily with sounds. The reason I bring this up is, other than being a colicky baby, I can’t imagine my mother in any way being scary to me as an infant. But, perhaps she was in ways that were not intentional? Curious if anyone here also has a hard time navigating reasons that you have acquired this attachment style.

Oh wow, you found Myers Briggs! I tested for INF-J too. I enjoyed reading all about that and I wish I'd taken that test when I was in high school, to help with career choices.
Its interesting that your mother seems to have given you no reason to mistrust her (or other women). My own mother most definitely has, but I think there can be more to the picture, like the stuff that happens when you are in the womb. My brother became obsessed with this before I had ever thought of it, to the extent that he became a rebirthing practitioner. Recently, in my own travels , I came across a lot of scientific stuff related to effects of semi-starvation and other trauma on foeteses , that relate to attachment theory.
Apart from that, I think it may be normal to feel guarded about women if you've been cheated on a lot, or experienced disloyalty. Female friends and even family become sources of potential hurt. What do you think?
