- There are different types of attachment styles in relationships.
- People in healthy relationships have secure attachment styles, whereas others are avoidant or anxious.
- The way we use social media could reveal how we attach to other people, according to some research.
- Anxiously attached people are more likely to post about their relatonships, because they feel insecure in real life.
- It’s important to remember that social media isn’t real life, and it can’t cover up real life problems.
How we attach to other people pretty much shapes how our romantic relationships go. If you grew up in a loving, caring environment, you’re more likely to have developed a healthy attachment style. This means you’re comfortable being open and honest with your partner, and you don’t fear intimacy.
