Seeking to balance intimacy and independence in a relationship.

Securely attached people tend to have positive views of themselves, their partners and their relationships. They feel comfortable with intimacy and independence, balancing the two.

They will normally  agree with the following statements: "It is relatively easy for me to become emotionally close to others. I am comfortable depending on others and having others depend on me. I don't worry about being alone or having others not accept me."

This style of attachment usually results from a history of warm and responsive interactions with partners.
