22. Attachment SECURE: I find it easy to become close friends
with other people. I trust them and I am comfortable depending on
them. I do not worry about being abandoned or about another person
becoming too close a friend with me. INSECURE: AVOIDANT I am
uncomfortable to be close friends with other people. I find it
difficult to trust them completely, difficult to depend on them. I
get nervous when another person wants to become close friends with
me. Friends often come closer to me than I want them to. INSECURE:
ANXIOUS I often find that other people do not want to get as close
as I would like them to be. I am often worried that my closest
friend(s) doesnt really like me and wants to end our friendship. I
prefer to do everything together with my closest friend(s).
However, this desire sometimes scares other people away.
