Anxious attachment seems to be the new buzzword on the internet. When years ago it was narcissist, before than it was just your general NPC mean guy, and before that it was just "men being men." The way we talk about emotions and our relationships becoming more and more nuanced as we're more and more exposed to other opinions and global patterns. Right now, attachment styles are all the rage. Of course, we all have an attachment style that's bestowed on us at birth, but what's never talked about is the phenotypic nature of attachment. That means that it's not something ingrained in our DNA like our eye color or height, something that we can't change. It's actually very adaptive, and though it creates patterns or structures in our brain, it's not definite or forever.

Cats are overwhelmingly known for being dismissive, absent, or even cold. So if you're someone who has an avoidantly attached person or cat in their life, these memes are for you!
