The document discusses how attachment styles from childhood can impact intimate relationships. People with anxious-preoccupied attachment styles often feel emotional hunger and seek to be rescued by their partners. They may push partners away despite wanting safety and security. Those with anxious/ambivalent styles experienced unpredictable caregiving as children and display distress when separated from caregivers that is not relieved by their return. As adults, they may worry about a partner's love and feelings, seek closeness but have mixed emotions in relationships. Their nervousness and insecurity in relationships can lead to clinginess, dependence on others for validation, and becoming possessive when unsure of a partner's feelings.
