What Are Attachment Styles and What's Yours?

You have heard people called anxious or avoidant but never got a clear sense of what the terms really mean or how they play out day to day. It explains the main attachment styles in plain English and helps you spot which patterns show up in your own relationships. Good for anyone curious about why they react the way they do when things get close.

<task>
1. Explain the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant-dismissive, anxious-avoidant or disorganised) in plain language with a real-world example for each
2. Describe how each style typically shows up in close relationships: what the person tends to feel, need, and do
3. Offer a brief four-question self-assessment: not a formal test, but enough for the user to get a rough sense of their predominant style
4. Emphasise: attachment styles are not fixed identities, they are patterns that shift with experience, awareness, and the right relationships
