The late ones ask about the message you reread for tone before he answered. - **See what the gap sets off** The pattern behind your answers, named, with how many times it showed. - **Take a dare into the next gap** Written from that pattern, and sized for this week. ## Anxious attachment, or a man who is slow to text? The test is what the gap does to your afternoon. A slow texter costs you nothing until you decide he is a verdict. Anxious attachment is what happens when a delayed reply arrives as a verdict every time. On a phone screen the two look exactly the same. From inside, one leaves the afternoon yours. The other has you rereading your own message at 4 and apologising for it at 6. - You reread your own message for tone before he has answered - A slower reply than usual means you did something wrong - You have tested him, and he passed, and it did not help ![Woman standing at a window with her arms folded, her phone lying face down on the sill beside her](https://glissa.io/assets/blog/watching-not-acting.webp) ## You may shrink in more places than your phone Anxious attachment is one of 11 patterns that make you shrink, to the size of a reply.

It does not size it, because one sitting cannot tell a rough fortnight from years of reading every gap as a verdict. In the app you tap what happened each day, about 30 seconds, and see which pattern was behind it. If a wait gets loud, you can type it out in the vent. A model reads it only after you say yes. ![Woman in a quiet kitchen setting her phone face down on the counter, a kettle on the stove behind her](https://glissa.io/assets/blog/an-ordinary-tuesday.webp) ## The glow up that starts on the inside Get back the parts of you that you filed down to keep everyone else comfortable. 30 seconds a day, all the way back to 100% and past it. $4.99 a month, billed as $59.99 a year ## Questions **Is this a real attachment test?** No. It is not a clinical measure of attachment style, and it diagnoses nothing. It finds which of 11 patterns came up most in what you picked. **Do you keep my answers?** They stay in this tab and go no further. What you tap in the app lives on your phone. **Why is there no score at the end?** One sitting can name the pattern but not size it, so this page prints no number it would have to invent. Glissa gives you a number for how much of you is showing. **What happens at the end?** You see the pattern your answers kept choosing, with how often it came up. The next 2 stay masked. Then one dare from the top one, and you pick the day you do it. ## Keep reading [All of it →](https://glissa.io/blog) - [Anxious Attachment: How to Survive the Hour After He Leaves You on Read](https://glissa.io/blog/anxious-attachment-when-he-doesnt-text-back): He read it at 2pm and you have reread your own message for tone since.
