People who have insecure attachment styles are more vulnerable to feeling disrupted in their lives, they on average are more prone to distress, negavity, anxiety, and depression.
So what happens when people have more insecure attachment styles is that they are more likely to have greater struggles. For example, they are more likely to have PTSD after a traumatic event, or if they have alearning disability they are more likely to have struggles in education.
