Do you ever feel like you’re always the one showing up more in friendships?
If you have an Anxious Attachment style, you may be deeply loyal, generous, and caring but that same devotion can sometimes come at the cost of your own boundaries, needs, and standards.
In this video, we explore how Anxious Attachment shows up in friendships, how others may perceive you, and the subconscious patterns that drive these dynamics so you can begin building friendships that feel safe, balanced, and reciprocal.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why Anxious Attachment often looks like being “needy” or “clingy,” even when your intentions are loving
How over-understanding harmful behavior can quietly erode your self-worth
The hidden link between Anxious Attachment and boundary struggles
How others actually perceive the Anxious Preoccupied friend
Why clear, early communication is the key to healthier friendships
