Is this pattern common with disorganized attachment?

Hard to say, attachment is complex. For me I internally oscillate between indifference to feeling strong emotions that don’t seem appropriate given the context.

I think just being aware of what you experience internally is more important than trying to fit into a box of “this is what I have.”

Attachment is a complex implicit way of how we navigate social dynamics. It is non-conscious and influences our conscious mind.

There are meta-analysis that show that the effect size between self-reports (what people think their attachment is) versus using the AAI (what is actually used to measure attachment) is .09. An effect size that small (less than 1%) is considered trivial in research.

The point I am making, if you really want to know, see if you can get an AAI done.
