Personality patterns interact with attachment styles—learned relationship patterns from early experiences—creating unique relationship dynamics.

## Overview of Attachment Styles

**Secure:** Comfortable with intimacy and independence
**Anxious:** Crave closeness, fear abandonment
**Avoidant:** Value independence, uncomfortable with closeness
**Fearful-Avoidant:** Want connection but fear vulnerability

## Analytical Personalities (NT types)

**Tendencies:** May appear avoidant due to logical processing but often seek connection
**Needs:** Intellectual intimacy, independence respected, logical communication
**Growth:** Develop emotional expression, recognize emotional needs

## Empathic Personalities (NF types)

**Tendencies:** Deep connection-seeking, may lean anxious when insecure
**Needs:** Emotional depth, authentic connection, reassurance
**Growth:** Build confidence, set boundaries, trust slowly

## Freedom-Seeking Personalities (SP types)

**Tendencies:** Value independence, may appear avoidant
**Needs:** Space and autonomy, present-focused connection, low pressure
**Growth:** Communicate needs clearly, commit intentionally

## Conflict Resolution Tips

Match communication to both personality and attachment: provide reassurance for anxious, respect space for avoidant, combine logic with emotion for thinking types, validate feelings for feeling types.
