37 分钟Oh, my God.
This person's driving me crazy.
I'm Angela Duckworth.
I'm Steven Dubner, and you're listening to.
No stupid questions today on the show.
How valid is attachment theory?
Well, screw her if that's the kind of mother she is, here's the kind of kid I'm gonna be.
Angela, one.
William Kissick has written us an email.
He asks very directly if we could do an episode on a topic he's interested in, which is attachment theory.
Attachment theory.
Are you very attached to attachment theory?
I'm an attachment theory super fan.
William writes to say, I am 20 and have been doing work on my attachment style after years of being an avoidant.
So I have to say I found that sentence alone very compelling.
That he's 20 and he's been doing work on his attachment style when I am in my fifties, and I did not know I had an attachment style.
So kudos to William.
Let's see if we can figure out a little bit about Steven's attachment style in this conversation.
Well, I'm more interested in William's and yours and practically anyone else's than mine.
That sounds avoidant, Stephen.
