Fearful avoidant, have you managed to overcome this and go on to have a successful relationship?

I just took the test and the results just resonated so much with my entire dating history I actually cried. Even saying it's often a result of childhood trauma, which is also true. So many boyfriends, no real connections. I'm in my 50s now and single. Is there hope for me? How do I change? Can I change?

The words of an ex b/f keep ringing in my ears, he told me (after I broke up with him) I'm going to be a lonely old woman because I'm frightened of love and push people away when they get too close to me.
It just all makes sense after finding out the reason.

It did say it was the rarest style and not much is discussed about fearful avoidant because it's so rare so looks like Im definitely in a minority 😢

I just did the quiz and am disorganised/fearful avoidant. I'm not surprised as I've only had one relationship that I saw going the distance and have bailed on most other relationships although I stay in them far longer than I want to and initially am really keen.

I worry that I'm bothering or annoying people if I talk to them about issues and keep most problems to myself. I'm trying to work on myself though with a counsellor and am starting to open up to people a bit more. It's been helpful speaking to someone totally impartial and hearing their input.

I dont think you need to lose hope though OP

Anxious preoccupied apparently (I just typed ‘attachment quiz’ into the internet. I did find some of the questions a bit hard to answer (i always do on these sometimes/rarely/always type quizzes).
