I think that no matter if the experience is positive or negative or even what stage of life an experience comes to us in, it has an effect on our later relationships. The smallest events can have the biggest impacts, and I can state this through experience. Things I thought were too insignificant to affect me I think of today. That is in my conscious, mature state. I can only imagine how experiences affected me when I was too young to know how to interpret and filter experiences! We aren't prisoners of what has happened to us, however. No matter the situation, I believe that we have every ability to heal or change from our pasts. What's passed is in the past and has no weight on today.

In my own life, every relationship I've had has been different. No two have I treated, handled, or approached the same. Each has had its own set of challenges and triumphs. In this, that proves the attachment theory may not apply to me.
