Polyamorous relationships can thrive through patience, creativity, and vulnerable communication despite attachment insecurities and complex identities.
Perhaps you have moments when you hesitate to share how you really feel, or you find yourself questioning whether what you have is genuine intimacy or just a peaceful routine. These are common questions, especially if you grew up in a family where emotions were ignored, dismissed, or handled inconsistently ( childhood emotional neglect). When your early environment teaches you to stay quiet about your feelings, you become skilled at functioning without emotional connection.
