Attachment theory is a theory that attachment styles are the result of early childhood experiences that set the tone for how we interact in our relationships. A person's attachment style is based on their early relationships with a primary caregiver. An anxious attachment (or anxious preoccupied attachment style) is one of the four main attachment styles.

Anxious attachment develops when a child receives any form of emotional neglect or inconsistent parenting pattern during their child development. As a result, they can end up experiencing several challenges in their adult relationships as anxious adults.

Attachment styles have a lifelong influence on interpersonal relationships, but with the right self awareness and self reflection, it is possible for anxious adults to transition away from having insecure attachment styles to having a more secure attachment style so that they an enter healthy relationships.

People with anxious attachment styles typically suffer from low self esteem, negative thought patterns, negative emotions, and can often suffer from anxiety disorders. They need constant reassurance in romantic relationships, have trouble setting appropriate boundaries, and can feel overwhelming feelings of anxiety when their partner (or other people in close relationships) aren't available to them. Because they have an insecure attachment style, they may be overly dependent on their partners and do anything they can to facilitate emotional closeness with them, even at the cost of their own needs. The good news is that they can change attachment styles with the right help and support.
