@leokatiecbt: It might look like keeping plans with a friend, making room for an interest of your own, or expressing a need without testing whether your partner will guess it. Take this carousel as one person's perspective, not a formula or promise. Anxious attachment doesn't automatically make someone manipulative. Accountability can mean changing hurtful behavior while respecting your own needs, too. Forgiveness and reconciliation with parents are personal choices, not requirements for healing. You don't have to minimize what happened or put someone else first at your own expense to deserve a secure relationship. #anxiousattachment #attachmentstyles #relationships #selfworth #MentalHealth
