Beliefs attachment is characterized by perfectionism, feeling attacked when others disagree, avoiding experiences that challenge one’s beliefs, refusing to consider alternatives, limiting oneself to like-minded relationships or environments, feeling intense anger when things happen outside of one’s beliefs, feeling the need to get others on one’s side, or holding on to stories of disempowerment. The person who believes “It’s me against them; the world and everyone else is my enemy” is someone who has become far too attached to their own opinions, worldview, and perceptions.
