Sometimes, the hardest part of liking someone is not knowing where you stand with them.
A delayed reply can suddenly feel loaded. A slightly different tone can make you wonder if something has changed. And even when the relationship is going well, a small part of you may still be waiting for the other shoe to drop.
If you often find yourself needing reassurance, reading too much into small changes or worrying that someone you love might leave, you may relate to an anxious attachment style. It does not mean you are “too needy” or difficult to love. It often means that uncertainty in close relationships feels particularly uncomfortable for you.
Here are five signs that may point towards an anxious attachment pattern.
