Attachment styles are the new love languages. But rather than coming from a self-help book from the past century, they stem from our relationships with our early caregivers—and inform how we interact with friends, family, and romantic partners. There are three main styles: anxious (preoccupied), avoidant (dismissive), and secure. You can learn more about each one here. Knowing your attachment style (and those of your nearest and dearest) can strengthen your relationships and help you understand where certain behaviors and reactions—from yourself and others—are coming from. What’s your style? Find out now.
