An anxious preoccupied attachment style or preoccupied attachment style describes when a partner is worried about the relationship. People with anxious preoccupied attachment focus on the outcome of the relationship rather than the romantic connection.
How The Attachment Style Develops
An anxious attachment style develops from inconsistent parenting. An inconsistent parenting pattern involves correcting a child when they make a mistake and ignoring them when they repeat the mistake another day. Children from overbearing parents are also more likely to develop anxious preoccupied attachment. When a parent is overbearing, the child can become fearful and avoidant in the future.

Dating Someone with An Anxious Attachment Style
Speak the language They understand
Have you heard of the 5 languages? The five love languages (Words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, receiving gifts, or physical touch) are originally from a 1992 book called The Five Love Languages: How to Express Your Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by Dr. Gary Chapman. It is believed that we all have a love language. If your partner has an anxious attachment style, it is best to speak the language they understand.
Constantly Assure Them
While this may sound exhausting, it is one of the best ways to keep your relationship with someone with an anxious attachment style. Text or call them frequently to let them know how you feel and clear their doubts.
