a conversation about anxious vs. avoidant attachment styles
from Little Miss · host Ryley Gale
This week on Little Miss, we’re getting honest about anxious vs. avoidant attachment styles — and how they show up in dating, relationships, and yes… even our favorite movies.We use 500 Days of Summer as a case study (because obviously) and break down the anxious/avoidant dynamic between Tom and Summer. Are avoidants actually incapable of commitment? Do they ever get married? Or are we misunderstanding what avoidance really is?We also talk about how our teenage experiences — first crushes, early heartbreaks, family dynamics — can quietly shape the way we attach as adults. Why do some of us cling tighter when things feel unstable, while others pull away the second it gets serious?If you’ve ever wondered why you attract the same type of person over and over, or why “we just can’t be together” feels like a recurring theme in your life, this episode is for you.
