Attachment Quote by Annie Tanasugarn
““One of the biggest impacts on intimacy is fear. Fears surrounding intimacy can result in a push-pull dynamic because of differing attachment needs between anxious and avoidant partners. If your fears surround being left behind or rejected by your partner, you may be living with a more anxious attachment style.””
