Avoidant

Secure

They have little difficulty expressing themselves for their needs and wants to their partner. Sometimes people see them as boring because they create no drama.

Good, solid, fruitful and fulfilling loving relationships not only provide us with great joy and happiness, they also support our careers, inspire us towards the achievement of our deepest and most cherished goals, and provide a deeper sense of both physical and spiritual well-being.
