I was reading this interesting article on how you are one of the 2.
Fear of abandonment stems back from a lack of close emotional contact from childhood. So they will be clingy,needy in relationships.
Fear of entrapment stems from to much attention as a child from your parents. They will want space and feel intruded upon, withdraw from relationships.
So what happens this is what you call a push/pull relationship. One tries to get close while the other tries to get away....
I had heard of push pull but never really had it spelled out as fear of entrapment/abandonment.
What are some thoughts on this?
I know that I fall under the category of fear of abandonment which is why I was needy / clingy in the relationship.
I also had heard of the pursuer vs distancer as well. So i guess the abandonment would fall under pursuer and the distancer would be the fear of entrapment person.
