Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Insecurity is the hallmark of this adult attachment type. When an adult shows this type of attachment, it is not a matter of if a romantic partner leaves them, but when. With the constant fear or worry that the partner isn't really in love with them, anxious/ambivalent adults latch onto or cling to their partner and push for commitment - and in doing so, oftentimes push the partner completely out of the picture. Poor attachment in adulthood can prohibit a person from getting too emotionally close to an attachment figure, causing them to withdraw and pull away before they get rejected.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
