This is a combination of anxious and avoidant styles.
This combination is also called disorganized attachment.
Anxious-avoidant attachment type
A person with this type can sometimes react violently to separation, and sometimes be detached and avoid intimacy.
The disoriented type of attachment, or as it is also called anxious-rejecting, is characterized by a high degree of independence, when a person does not even allow the thought of the maximum degree of closeness, full-fledged partnerships and intimacy in the broad sense of the word.
Researchers have described four attachment styles: secure attachment, avoidant attachment, anxious attachment, and disorganized attachment.
How is Disorganized Attachment Formed
Nevertheless, it also happens that a disorganized type of attachment develops simply when the parent experiences anxiety around the child, and he catches this state.
At the core of this is chaos and fear.
