Fearful–avoidant attachment
People with losses or sexual abuse in childhood and adolescence often develop this type of attachment[11]
and tend to agree with the following statements: "I am somewhat
uncomfortable getting close to others. I want emotionally close
relationships, but I find it difficult to trust others completely, or to
depend on them. I sometimes worry that I will be hurt if I allow myself
to become too close to others." People with this attachment style have
mixed feelings about close relationships. On the one hand, they desire
to have emotionally close relationships. On the other hand, they tend to
feel uncomfortable with emotional closeness. These mixed feelings are
combined with sometimes unconscious, negative views about themselves and
their partners. They commonly view themselves as unworthy of
responsiveness from their partners, and they don't trust the intentions
of their partners. Similar to the dismissive–avoidant attachment style,
people with a fearful–avoidant attachment style seek less intimacy from
partners and frequently suppress and deny their feelings. Instead, they
are much less comfortable expressing affection.
