Wing Effect on Attachment

4-wing softens hard shell. Wants connection but fears engulfment. May feel lonely but lacks skills to bridge gap.

Fearful-Avoidant Attachment

Desires closeness but fears it deeply. Caught between wanting connection and fearing hurt. Often experienced as push-pull dynamics.

Core Belief: I want love but I will get hurt. People are both necessary and dangerous. I cannot trust but I cannot survive alone.
Strategy: Disorganized—oscillates between seeking closeness and pushing away. No consistent strategy for handling attachment needs.
