I've been reading about attachment styles, and I feel I'm completely the "anxious" type. In relationships I lack trust, need constant reassurance, get jealous, and need to talk with my partner throughout the day, off and on. I restrain myself and try not to let it get too bad, but I don't know if I'm good at that. I just want to throw an example of something that just happened to see what you think:

So I was messaging my bf tonight and the topic led to some of my insecurity related stuff, and after a bit he went quiet. It was about an hour after he usually falls asleep for work, so maybe he just fell asleep. After a few messages and realizing he wasn't responding, I said night and sorry if it wasn't a topic he wanted to talk about. I don't know if he went quiet because he just fell asleep or if he was feeling resentful; I know he doesn't like it when I'm acting insecure, but he wasn't acting unhappy right before. I mostly assume he just fell asleep.

Anyway, a few hours later I more or less absent mindedly message him goodnight again because now I'm planning on going to bed. Right afterwards I realized how stupid and needy that was cause I'd already said goodnight. It would be annoying if anything.

The thing with being anxious in relationships is that the anxiety is a self fulfilling prophecy... meaning there are two stages- being anxious about nothing, and then having that anxiety cause an actual problem in the relationship.

Which stage am I on? Am I pointlessly worrying about annoying him for stuff like having sent that extra (and could be seen as passive aggressive, even though that wasn't the intention) goodnight message? Or would stuff like that really be a red light and sour a relationship?
