Limerence and Attachment

Insecure attachment styles, particularly anxious and fearful avoidance, are more prone to experiencing limerence than securely attached individuals. Dismissive avoidants often fixate on unavailable people, allowing them to feel intense emotions without vulnerability. The conversation also touches on the subtler signs of attachment, emphasizing that not everyone experiences limerence in an obsessive way, but may still feel a strong connection early in relationships.

- I have a question about this episode 228. The psychology of limerance and this Managing Limerence. I love my girlfriend and have expressed that to her many times. However, one day I suddenly started getting scared about not loving her, and I don't want to lose that love. I want to be with her because I love her smile and her energy. I'm beginning to wonder if my thoughts about not loving her are intrusive or if I'm scared of deep commitment. She is going to move into my house in a few days. I genuinely choose to love her, but I'm very sad thinking that she might not be the one. How can I better understand these feelings and ensure that I'm making the right choice?
