When you first learn of attachment styles, you learn that the gold standard is to be securely-attached. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, a securely-attached person is someone who is comfortable forming close relationships with others.

On the other hand, one is said to be insecurely attached if they exhibit some difficulty in forming close relationships, whether they are intensely trying to connect (anxious attachment), disinterested in connection (avoidant attachment) or demonstrates both behaviors (anxious-avoidant attachment).

I have spoken about the insecure attachments before but what exactly are some of the positive traits to look for? What are the traits of a securely attached person?

1. They have no fear in connection

This is a fairly obvious deduction based on the definition of secure attachment that was mentioned earlier, but it’s true. Securely-attached people do not worry about a potential relationship because they do not have negative emotions regarding connections with others.
