If you have an anxious (or ambivalent) attachment style, you tend to fixate on romantic interests and crave constant reassurance or attention from others. People may accuse you of being “clingy” or “needy,” and your actions are often driven by anxiousness, jealousy, or low self-worth. This attachment style develops when a parent or caregiver is inconsistent in how they respond to their child’s needs. Your caregiver may have fluctuated between being engaged and being inattentive, for example.
