    It makes me sad to discover all the dysfunction I grew up in. The abuse and neglect shaped me to be fearful of being rejected and feel insecure about my relationships with people. I feel overly conscious of people's opinions of me and fear that they have a negative perception of my appearance and behavior. I also have social anxiety and feel shaky and tense when interacting with others.
  • @BecomeConsciousNow
    I definitely had an insecure attachment with my caregiver, thus resulting in severe anxiety and a fear of being close to other people. "Terrified" is exactly how I would describe how I feel about close relationships.
  • @giulianacr2638
    14:31 exactly my case. I don't have a good relationship with my mom and now as a mom I have insecure attachment with my children, not that they'll leave me because they're young, but I worry too much about their well being, and I'm slowly discovering it's unhealthy to shelter them so much.
  • @giulianacr2638
    Thank you so much for all the work you do and the way you explain it. I'm slowly discovering the areas in which I need work on. Having all this information helps me to write notes about me to take back to my treatment before my appointment. Ty Doc 🙏

  • @endeleocounsellingtherapy8239
    Succinct presentation!!! loved it, how about doing more of this kind, for all presentations? your consistency is admirable.
  • @kurt6410
    when are you going to do that presentation on RAD?
  • @GriffinWulf
    Doc Snipes I have my psychiatrist appointment next month, I've been watching your videos and feel like I have hunch what categories I may fall into, but I'm afraid if I go in with a condition in mind that I will come off as shopping for a diagnosis or even drug seeking because one is treated with stimulants.. could you make a video on the topic?
  • @maintain.faith.3657
    This is an interesting topic. The Bible says GOD created Man & Woman as two halves of a whole. In life we go through many different learning experiences to equip us for the future. Your intellect is very appealing.
  • @yanadre9154
    Do narcissists usually have an anxious/preoccupied attachment style?
  • @charlesblair1900
    i prefer the word connection. i dont know why psychology loves that word. attachment is always a weakness. but being open and connected is in a interdependent relationship is good.
