Testosterone, oxytocin, and vasopressin play significant roles in how men form attachments. Oxytocin, often called the "love hormone," is crucial for bonding and intimacy.
Traditional gender roles often discourage men from expressing vulnerability and emotional dependence, leading to difficulties in articulating feelings of attachment.
Men with secure attachment styles are generally comfortable with intimacy and dependency in relationships. They can express emotions and rely on their partners.
Men might struggle with verbalizing their emotions due to societal expectations. Encouraging open and non-judgmental communication can help break down these barriers.
Building a relationship environment based on trust and emotional safety allows men to feel secure in expressing their attachments and vulnerabilities.
