@thepsycholotea: QUESTION FOR YOU: How frequently do you find them withdrawing? If you’re always the one compromising, working on your triggers, and holding space… when do you get to feel held? Are they doing their part too? ✅ Yes, understanding an avoidant partner’s patterns can help 🚫 BUT it shouldn't be ALL on you! A healthy relationship isn’t about constantly proving you’re safe—it’s about both people meeting in the middle. You deserve a relationship where BOTH people feel safe to stay—where you don’t have to tiptoe around someone’s fears of intimacy just to keep the connection alive. Let’s talk—have you been in this cycle before? #relationshipadvice #breakuprecovery #ex #nocontact #avoidant #lettinggo #psychologist #HealingJourney #movingon
No they need to grow up and communicate like adults.

Why do WE have to adjust to them and regulate our own emotion ? Like shouldn’t they do some of the work too?

Bad advice. Just don’t date them. Avoid them at all cost. They do not deserve love from secure or anxious individuals.

They are not trying to hurt you- they will succeed at it.

I’m sorry but they need to get therapy and stop terrorising everyone. We shouldn’t be bending over backwards for them

You give them space, they feel relieved and go find a rebound. Doesn’t work

They need to get therapy and become secure before dating otherwise you’ll be wasting so much time and energy.

They ARE trying to hurt you. They know exactly what they’re doing to you. An avoidant ghosted for 5 days and when he circled back, he never ever heard from me again.

Me and my partner are both avoidant. Challenging at times but also- we get one another which is a relief

New relationship, this might be the issue. Currently trying to manage as he’s withdrawn for the first time after I confronted lack of closeness/intimacy. If we speak, do I suggest he’s avoidant?
