Connection Style — how you relate to closeness in the relationships that matter

The connection styles

Connection Style sorts into four patterns — a two-by-two of the same idea attachment research uses, given approachable names instead of clinical labels. You land in exactly one.

• Secure — You generally feel safe in close relationships — able to give love without losing yourself and accept it without bracing for it to disappear. Ordinary distance doesn't send you spiralling.
• Drawn-Close — You love deeply and feel the stakes of love just as deeply. You give a lot and want to be met, staying attuned to the smallest shifts — which also means a cool moment can land harder than it should.
• Self-Contained — You've built a life you can run on your own and prefer to keep it that way. You care about people but would rather not need them; closeness past a point can feel like pressure, and space feels like room to breathe.
• Pulled-Both-Ways — You want closeness and fear it at the same time — reaching for deep connection, then wanting distance when it arrives. It can feel like a push-and-pull, and it carries real emotional sensitivity and empathy too.

These map onto attachment theory's familiar four patterns — secure, anxious, avoidant, and mixed — but LEVO uses its own names and never presents them as a clinical categorisation.

Your result — one primary style

Connection Style is a typed result: you get a single primary style, not a score or a percentile. Because your placement is read along two independent threads — closeness anxiety and closeness avoidance — the result centres on the one quadrant you fall into.

It leads with your style's name and a summary of what the pattern feels like from the inside, then walks through it: strengths, blind spots, how it tends to show up in romantic relationships and in friendships and family, and a handful of growth prompts. It is a mirror, not a verdict — and your connection style can shift over time and differ across relationships.
