In this article, we will talk about a new study, the results of which will be useful for those who are in a romantic relationship with an insecure person.
Research results
An insecure type of attachment may be associated with self-doubt. A person may be afraid of closeness and sometimes move away.
A new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology illustrates how simple acts of love can make a relationship a more comfortable and safe place for your partner.
As a result of the study, scientists came to two conclusions:
When a person had many positive romantic experiences, avoidance behavior was less common.
Positive romantic experiences were not strongly associated with anxiety or fear of rejection.
Positive romantic reinforcements include gratitude, planning for the future, and open expression of feelings, emotions, and intentions.
Thus, such positive experiences make the insecure person feel safer and more comfortable. It also makes the relationship deeper and more trusting.
