How does childhood attachment style shape your adult personality?

I have been reading about attachment theory and I am seeing myself and my patterns very clearly in the anxious attachment description. How much does the attachment style we develop as children actually determine who we become as adults and whether it can be changed?

Attachment style has significant influence on adult relationships, emotional regulation, and self-concept. But it is not destiny. Research clearly shows attachment style can shift toward security through corrective relationship experiences and therapy.

Understanding your attachment style does not immediately change it but it creates the self-awareness that makes change possible. You start to recognize your patterns in real time instead of only understanding them in retrospect.
