Which is yours? Fear of Abandonment or Fear of Engulfment?

Recently I've been reading a bit about terms which psychoanalysts call fear of abandonment or fear of engulfment, which are roughly at opposite ends of a spectrum.

I'm just curious to see whether people are naturally inclined one way or the other. And I wonder if knowing which one you tend towards can help you understand relationship/dating difficulties more?

As for me, I'm pretty much an 'engulfment' person. This characteristic really got to me though: "Seduces the other and then withholds." :S

Anyway, here's the link, and you go to the table of opposites and try and work out which one you might be.
