I like to call them "Connected Explorers."
I've found in my research and professional experience that "Connected Explorers" tend to embody four phrases.
They regularly tell themselves:'I believe in and like myself'The securely attached tend to have a strong sense of self, and higher self-esteem, than those who are insecurely attached.
They're more likely to have consistently positive feelings about themselves, their abilities, and their perception of acceptance by others.
Connected Explorers understand where they end and others begin, and in the case of more intimate or romantic relationships, where the "we" begins, without becoming subsumed.
