Attachment theory asserts that all humans develop an attachment style in infancy based on the way their primary caregiver responds when they are in distress.

Attachment theory has profound implications for understanding how each relationship is a dance of a multitude of factors | driven by our need for connection & rooted in a learned attachment style during infancy with our primary caregiver.

Each unique attachment style corresponds to a self-construct of how we internally see ourselves & the value we see in connection with others. This creates a self-fulfilling cycle of seeking out the familiar via partners that reinforce learned styles of attachment.

A highly sensitive person (HSP) is seen as an intuitive, empathetic, deep thinker; who is detailed & keenly aware of subtleties in their surroundings.

Highly sensitive people are drained from too much social stimuli. Large crowds, big gatherings & too much social activity can deplete a highly sensitive person.
