Can attachment styles change?

Yes, attachment patterns can shift over time. Understanding your pattern, practising new ways of responding and having relationships that feel steady can all play a part. Therapy is one place to work on that at your own pace.

Is it normal to feel anxious when I'm dating?

Yes. Some nerves are a normal part of getting to know someone. It may be worth talking to someone if the worry takes up a lot of your day, affects your sleep or work, or keeps leading to the same painful patterns.
