Attachment styles developed in early childhood can influence
the responses people have to a variety of stressors, including ones
encountered in later years.
An adult who encountered an infanthood of secure attachment has
a solid foundation with which to face life's varied and many
challenges.Such adults can develop proximity with others, and can
tolerate relationship frustrations and disappointments.
Secure attachment during infancy will make the adult more
psychologically strong and they can can be with oneself without
anxiety and can also go to another person for interpersonal
support, both of which are critical skills in adult
relationships.
A person who has a past that involved a foundation built on
secure-attachment,will seek a "stable" partner who can meet them in
such a stable and adult place of relationship and intimacy.
If the adult doesnt experience secure attachment during
childhood that could to experiencing distress in later
relationships,they might distance themselves from others,undervalue
interpersonal relationships, become self-reliant, and tend to view
emotions with cynicism.
