7-wing moves toward people to dilute fear. Uses relationship as pacifier. Clingier than 6w5. 'Pull' is stronger than 'push.'

Anxious-Preoccupied Attachment

Craves closeness and fears abandonment. Highly attuned to partner's moods and availability. May sacrifice own needs to maintain connection.

Core Belief: I am not enough on my own. I need others to feel complete. If I'm not vigilant, I will be abandoned.
Strategy: Hyper-activation—intensifies connection-seeking behaviors when threatened. Monitors partner closely for signs of withdrawal.
