Answer:
Avoidant attachment pattern
Step-by-step explanation:
The Attachment theory proposes that there are 4 attachment styles:
Secure attachment
Anxious attachment
Avoidant attachment
Anxious-Avoidant attachment
A child who does not seek their mother when they leave and are unbothered by the fact that the mother is not around shows the avoidant attachment pattern. The child is independent and self-directed, thus does not seek intimacy. These types of people are assumed to be fearful or avoidant when it comes to intimacy and commitment, as the theory suggests.
Differentiating it from the other style:
Secure attachment pattern show comfort in intimacy. They easily display interest to other parties, but at the same time, they do not necessarily seek intimacy as they are capable of being alone as well.
Anxious attachment on the other hand, is more like a needy and clingy type of behavior. They seek companionship more desperately and always needs reassurance.
Anxious-avoidant attachment is a more aggressive (in a defensive sense) type. They totally avoid commitment or any form of intimacy. What makes them different is the distrust. They do not trust anyone that tries to get close to them and can sometimes emotionally vent out, (verbally or physically) if anyone attempts to get to know them.
