Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment

Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment
Characterized by a positive view of self and a negative view of others. Adolescents with dismissive-avoidant attachment might avoid closeness or emotional connection, show high levels of self-sufficiency, and value independence extremely highly.
Fearful-Avoidant Attachment
