Wing Effect on Attachment

4-wing adds emotional turbulence to 3's avoidance. Career takes precedence. Fear of intimacy revealing they are flawed and ordinary.

Dismissive-Avoidant Attachment

Values independence highly. Uncomfortable with too much closeness. May dismiss the importance of relationships while appearing self-sufficient.

Core Belief: I don't really need others. Depending on people leads to disappointment. I am complete on my own.
Strategy: Deactivation—minimizes attachment needs and pulls away when things get too close. Maintains emotional self-sufficiency.
