Avoidance: 75.5 | Anxiety: 87.5
It appears that your anxiety about losing relationships is greater than your tendency to avoid them defensively. Given the degree of the difference, this is not likely to be a problem. But if you are having difficulties, they are most likely to be in these areas:
Your partner may occasionally complain that you are sometimes possessive or clingy
Relationships may sometimes feel frightening
You may find yourself thinking about the relationship more often than your partner
Your romantic attachment style: Fearful and Shy
You have described yourself as fearfully attached. This suggests that compared to others, you may be a little introverted and find it hard to speak up for yourself.
You probably find it a little difficult to become romantically involved because of your concern about getting out there and the possibility of getting hurt. You're likely experience shyness a bit more strongly than others do, and that helps make you stick close to home. You may feel less self confident than other people.
For some people who are a bit fearful, this is just fine. However, for others, this orientation can be a problem. If you feel you are fearful in your romantic involvements, but would like to become less so, you may find that you will benefit from assertiveness training. This is a form of training in which you are gradually challenged to stick up for yourself more, to become more active in going after what you want in life, in all domains. The challenge is gradual to avoid turning off the training before it can help you. And the rewards are strong.
