Anxious Attachment Cocaine Addiction

So, tell me what you like about me. The way you give me attention and affection so unpredictably triggers my anxious attachment system. I immediately forget the how miserable I feel, and associate the euphoria from the highs with feelings of love. You literally trigger the same part of my brain responsible for cocaine addiction.

A red-haired woman asks what someone likes about her while lying on a bed or couch. The response explains that unpredictable attention triggers anxious attachment, creating emotional highs associated with love and cocaine addiction. The joke is a darkly self-aware description of an unhealthy relationship dynamic, used as a reaction to inconsistent affection or emotional dependence.
