How did you transition into a secure one?
2-3 relationships where I managed step by step to open up and made positive experiences. If this was your first relationship it was always bound to fail. In the first ones I was shaking sometimes etc., really crazily checking whatsapp (notification anxiety), everytime we'd meet I thought Ohhh now I am going to hear "we have to break up" etc. It gets better and better, you just have to push through with it. I also did therapy specifically for this and we just concentrated on this topic, which was a lot of help. If you want a therapy recommendation for this it would be schema therapy. Here it is often someone trained and licensed with CBT but who has this certification as an addon. Core message: It gets better and it is normal that it takes 3-4 attempts. Think like this: Normies start dating with 13 and have boy or girlfriends when they are like 15. They experienced all this shit at a young age. We did not because we were ugly/personality disordered/got abused/enter whatever retardation you have, so we have to do it now. Who really stays together if they are in their teenage years? First relationships are shit because you have not developed the capacity yet to have a good relationship and this capacity can only be developed by experiencing all of this.
However, other researchers have proposed that rather than a single internal working model, which is generalized across relationships, each type of relationship comprises a different working model. This means a person could be securely attached to their parents but insecurely attached in romantic relationships.Family: avoidantRomantic partner: secure
Friends/ Others: anxious
Family: avoidant
Romantic partner: secure
Friends/others: avoidant

I went from fearful to secure with romantic partners too. Although I find I still occasionally slip into old poor emotional responses. But in those cases I just assess why I'm having said reaction and how to convey what I need in the situation to feel secure, then just swallow my pride or fear and communicate it
Does any of this matter though?
Is the recommendation to be secure or fearful? Maybe sometimes having a low opinion of yourself and others is beneficial to your life
But probably not. People like that are unhappy.
Anyway, isn't your opinion of others highly correlated with your opinion of yourself? I think most people who have a low opinion of others also have a low opinion of themselves and vice versa. I don't really buy most of the responses here.

Idk it's other people that are the problem.
No waaay, everything other people do towards us is our own fault, and if we were stronger or better they would be less shitty towards us. 😏
^ Really feels that way sometimes though.
