Attachment theory is the theory that a person's attachment style is based on their early childhood experiences with a primary caregiver. Attachment styles then set the tone for how we interact in our adult relationships including romantic relationships, friendships, working relationships, and family relationships.

As a result, they learn to keep to themselves, not rely on others, avoid being vulnerable, and keep people at arm's length for safety. These behaviors can lead to several challenges in their intimate relationships.
