What are the different attachment styles and do all individuals have an insecure attachment?
If they take longer than usual to reply, my whole body writes a breakup in the gap. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. Insight made me less surprised by myself. It didn't make me less raw. I keep finding essays that sound right and still don't change Tuesday morning. I don't need a perfect answer. Even a small thing that made the next day easier would help.

Attachment styles vary by relationship and context. You may be securely attached to one person and anxiously attached to another. It's not fixed — it's relational.

The urge to 'get ahead of the abandonment' is so sneaky. Awareness helps; it doesn't erase it overnight.
