In adult relationships, it may manifest throughclingyand needy behavior. It may also come in the form of its polar opposite, where the person is untrusting. In both cases, the fear of abandonment is the common denominator.
Recent researchhas shown that women are more prone to developing an anxious attachment style. Men, on the other hand, develop an avoidant attachment style where they tend to distance themselves from romance-related anxieties.According to brain science innovatorDr. Srini Pillay, it’s how humans are naturally wired, and both sexes deal with adverse reactions differently.“Because the brain is geared to focus on negative things (presumably to protect us), we all tend to see the negative things under a magnifying glass,” Dr. Pillay wrote in an article forHuffPost.

According to brain science innovatorDr. Srini Pillay, it’s how humans are naturally wired, and both sexes deal with adverse reactions differently.
“Because the brain is geared to focus on negative things (presumably to protect us), we all tend to see the negative things under a magnifying glass,” Dr. Pillay wrote in an article forHuffPost.
Dr. Pillay says the differing attachment styles between men and women typically push couples to bail from the relationship instead of trying to get to the root of the problem.“Women may become resentful that men are ‘clueless’ or not feeling the anxiety that they are feeling,” he wrote, adding that a man’s usual reaction would be to resent their female partners for being too “high-strung” about “simple issues.”

Told myself i’d block her when it stopped being funny. Spoiler, it’s stopped being funny. I don’t know if i’m being trolled but the way she is so angry from not responding for two hours is very concerning. I feel like she may have some mental health issues because this isn’t normal behavior.
To avoid unnecessaryargumentsfrom happening, Dr. Pillay advises understanding these default behavior patterns. And instead of throwing criticisms, recognize each one’s need for commitment.“The more we are aware of how we respond in romance, the better we will understand both ourselves and the partners with whom we have chosen to explore this life,” he wrote.
