Attachment Theory and Your Dating Life

How you were treated as a baby literally predicts your entire dating life right now.

It is called attachment theory and it basically creates a blueprint in your brain. If you had a secure

bond with your caregivers, you probably trust your partners easily. But if things were inconsistent,

you might be dealing with major rejection sensitivity or avoidance today. This hits hard during

adolescence because your brain is physically rewiring to crave deep emotional intimacy, not just surface-level

friendships. You aren't crazy for needing reassurance, you are just acting out a script that

was written before you could even talk.
