There are three primary romantic attachment styles. One quick way to discover your romantic attachment style is to choose which of the following descriptions best describes you. Take a minute to do this:

Avoidant attachment style: I am somewhat uncomfortable being close to others. I find it difficult to trust them completely and difficult to allow myself to depend on them.

I am nervous when anyone gets too close, and often, love partners want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being.

In a 2- to 3-page paper discuss the following:
