All In The Mind · How can I become more securely attached? · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

Yes, because what happens is you push people away, but also you really seek a lot of closeness.

So for a regular avoidant, not a fearful avoidant, it's like, oh, I don't need relationships.

I can take care of my own.

A person who's fearful avoidant really is like, no, I'm lonely.

I want the company of other people.

But when...

they actually get close to people, it starts to really hurt.

They're very sensitive and they get suffocated by too much closeness.

So it's constant push-pull situation.

So there you need to learn how to work with really tiptoe between the two to find your way to security.

But it's possible.

So I think it's a very nuanced answer because...

I think there's several things that are happening with this whole loneliness epidemic that's being touted.

I think because the research really talks about an objective experience, loneliness, then like an amount of people that we're connected to.

And I think what happens when we have all these insecure people in our lives that all of a sudden don't text us, I think it actually...

The research actually shows when we're being excluded, it actually increases our feeling of that we're not connected to others.

And then it decreases our self-esteem.

And it also gives us a sense that we're less in control of our life and that life is less meaningful.

It has this profound psychological effect.

So I feel that those insecure interactions actually enhance that feeling of loneliness.
