Are anxious attachment styles more likely to attract narcissists?

Many people with anxious attachment find themselves in toxic relationships, wondering if narcissists actively seek them out—and why. In this episode of The Thais Gibson Podcast, Thais breaks down 8 key traits of anxious attachment that may make them vulnerable to narcissistic relationships and, more importantly, how to break free from these patterns and protect yourself.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ Why people-pleasing makes anxious attachers more vulnerable to manipulation

✔️ How over-empathizing with others while neglecting yourself leads to unhealthy dynamics

✔️ The dangers of self-abandoning your boundaries to maintain connection

✔️ Why anxious attachers filter out red flags and rationalize toxic behavior

✔️ How to rebuild self-worth, set healthy boundaries, and break free from toxic cycles

✔️ The best healing strategies to shift from anxious to secure attachment

If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable or toxic partners?”, this episode will give you clarity and actionable steps to build healthier relationships.
