I HATE ATTACHMENT TYPES AND HERE'S WHY.
And so, the post is made based on the fact that I'm tired of hearing people making excuses for these types and increasingly making up new ones.
(Yeah, guys, there's only four.)
HOW DID ATTACHMENT TYPES COME ABOUT?
Most people are not aware of where this all came from, so I feel it is necessary to clarify.
Attachment types were developed by Bowlby to explain the relationship between parents and children, at one point this theory was decided to apply to adult relationships, but no version of the theory has found serious evidence, moreover some experiments disprove it (I believe that any theory has the right to exist, even the most delusional).
SO WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?
The fact is that in different relationships people behave differently, the attitude of parents is simply not accepted by children.
It has long been clear that the attitude is influenced by the environment, temperament, culture, not this innate algorithm of behavior.
WHY IS THIS TOPIC SO POPULAR?
It's very simple, it's easy to justify yourself with this theory. It gives you the ability to cover things like: Manipulation, Trying to change your partner, Not being able to understand what you want, well, and the banal unwillingness to just more thoroughly understand anything.
And yes, you're probably going to ask me.
«You're the one who set your own anxiety-avoidance, so you're also covering it up?»
I want to answer right away so that there will be no such questions: The type of attachment is rather for a tick, because it can in principle relate to the typology, I in no way justify my behavior with it, and archetypes in relationships are more sympathetic to me.
TOTAL
Just stop making excuses for these types, make up more of them, you didn't even delve into this topic by scoring and reading the test, and oh yeah, no one naturally uses them in psychological practices.
Many people say that attachment types don't exist, but I think this error has a right to exist.
