The Chasing Anxious Partner
Needs to check, needs to stay connected. Someone who is afraid of distance
Your partner is the "Chasing Anxious Partner," high in abandonment anxiety and hungry for closeness.
A late reply brings follow-ups. "Do you love me?" comes up again and again. When you're out with friends, they're a little lonely about it. It may feel heavy at times, but what's happening inside them is an oversensitive alarm for any sign you might be drifting away. The love is deep. The place where they receive love just clogs easily with fear. Up next: what this partner really feels, why your good intentions backfire, and the concrete ways of being with them that actually help them settle.
