So these avoidantly attached people have learned if I get too close to someone, it's going to be scary and it's going to be unsafe.
And so they keep people at a distance.
Typically, they have fewer friends.
Or if they do have friends, the friends feel like they don't really know them because they've only attached people.
Rarely vulnerable, rarely affectionate, very passive when it comes to connection and don't actually feel connected to people.
But also, it doesn't tend to bother them as much because they don't really see the value in connection.
Because again, it's just associated with, in your head, lack of safety.
And so they can be sort of like mormon wolves.
They pull away from friendships more easily and they don't show a lot of emotion, which can affect their friendships in various ways.
Then you have securely attached people who basically grew up with good enough parents who tried to meet their needs and hear them out and understand them when they're sad and give them support and hear them out when they're angry.
They grow up to be people, I call them super friends.
They're better at initiating.
They're better at working through conflict.
They're more forgiving, more empathic.
They're vulnerable, but the anxiously attached person will overshare without the other person reciprocating.
A secure person is vulnerable, but will attenuate their vulnerability based on the other person.
They're very affectionate.
And so they tend to make really good friends.
But of course, some of us, we're not always secure in every friendship.
Different friendships can bring up different sides of ourselves.
