It seems that knowing whether one is FA or DA, or even AP, is irrelevant in the scheme of things. We're either secure or insecure. The behaviors that you describe and that I can most certainly relate to cause a lot of red herring type of focus on them, instead of the fact that we are insecure by nature (due to our childhoods). I'm realizing that the labels don't matter in the long run, as it's the insecurity that is driving the show for all of us who are insecure. It can be parsed out into all these Attachment/Myers-Briggs/(fill in the blank) labels, but in the end we're all insecure and trying to have a secure relationship, or at least come close to that. This is so helpful!! I think I messed up my relationship with Mr Seriously Insecure by ‘diagnosing’ him as DA and then acting accordingly - giving loads of space and trying to be perfect. So insecure breeded insecure, and because withdrawal was a key strategy for us both, things didn’t work out. I would have fared so much better by acknowledging my insecurities. Keeping things simple and working towards our own secure patterns is always best, thank you! 😀
