Antonio has an avoidant attachment style. How did his attachment style likely develop?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Someone with avoidant attachment avoids closeness and may be uncomfortable with emotional intimacy. This attachment style develops when a caregiver is consistently unavailable or even abusive; children learn to distrust the caregiver and relationships more generally. The child often learns to get by on his own without seeking support from the caregiver.
