In any case I suppose that's why. I mean there weren't specific examples for why, like an amazing story, but hey, my mom seemed to spell it out for me easily enough.
As for how I dealt with my parents and how attached I was to them, I'd have to say that I was fairly secure. I was willing to separate from my parents and explore the world around me. I would look to my mother for comfort. but even around strangers, I was still calm with my mother around. I was a bit upset when left but I was easily soothed. An example is that I would run around new environments as a baby and not go too far from my mother. I would also attribute this to my loving and secure upbringing which caused me to be so secure.
There are many other types of attachments though. Besides secure, there are (2) avoidant babies, (3) ambivalent babies and (4) disorganized-disoriented babies. Avoidant babies have no true reaction or concern for their mothers or strangers although willing to explore a strange place. They avoid touching base with things around them. Ambivalent babies are clingy, don't like to explore, were upset with strangers despite their mother's presence, and would freak at their mother's leaving, yet when they return would ask to be picked up and protest at the same time. D-D babies are unable to decide how to react at all. They may approach her after she would come back from leaving them, but be cautious of their own mother. They seem like scared little guys, kind of depressed in a sense.
And that my dear readers, is the story of my babyhood, is psychology terms.
