Re: Orphans / question for mschrisgo2

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was intrigued by your post below. What are the characteristics of moderate

attachment disorder?

I like reading about attachment styles and theories and how that has affected

who I am today. I am not very affectionate, I mean, I'm friendly but don't open

up easily. I have wondered many times if I have avoidant personality disorder,

but my T says I do not.

Still....

thanks!

Fiona
