    Combining your anxiety and avoidance scores, you fall into the dismissing region of the space. Previous research on attachment styles indicates that dismissing people tend to prefer their own autonomy--oftentimes at the expense of their close relationships. Although dismissing people often have high self-confidence, they sometimes come across as hostile or competitive by others, and this often interferes with their close relationships.

Low anxiety high avoidance.

Some of the questions were annoying though because they kept insisting on asking how I acted around my partner and well fuck I don't have one and haven't had someone I would consider a partner in quite some time. I substituted with, I guess, the last people I was sexually close with/kind of dating. Shit like this: "I often wish that my partner's feelings for me were as strong as my feelings for him or her." Like, I don't know, that requires a person who romantically cares about me whom I also romantically care about, on a deep kind of level, you know? But I guesstimated.

Most of the time I was able to predict my response/feelings though

    attachment-related anxiety score is 2.67
Your attachment-related avoidance score is 5.56

"Dismissing"

I don't know as anyone here will disagree with this, trilly. I guess I found my afternoon's reading.

What is YOURS tng?
