What is the tendency of anxiously attached individuals?

• A. They often worry about their partner's love and may experience jealousy.
• B. They show indifference.
• C. They avoid relationships.
• D. They have unwavering confidence in commitment.

Answer: (A)

Anxiously attached individuals tend to fear abandonment and crave closeness and reassurance in relationships. This mindset leads them to constantly seek validation about how much their partner loves them, read into every distant gesture as a threat, and often feel jealous when there’s any sign of distance or potential rejection. In short, a key pattern is preoccupation with the partner’s love and heightened sensitivity to signs of threat to the relationship.

That’s why the best description is that they often worry about their partner’s love and may experience jealousy. The other patterns—indifference, avoiding relationships, or unwavering confidence in commitment—align with other attachment styles (avoidant or secure) rather than the anxious pattern.
