Sorry if it's insensitive, but these ppl are so exhausting to date. It's a bunch of giving and giving while receiving so little back.

You don’t owe a thank you to someone avoidant behavior! They’re too similar to narcs, they offer nothing and expect praise. They’re too similar shouldn’t disrupt your peace by pretending to want relationships, you owe them Nothing! We’ve all had to heal from this trauma

Please as a community lets stop empathizing with insecure attatchments as if they were little frightened puppies. They are humans that harm others

These are all great but when you say these, and the avoidant doesn’t do any of these things like open up or communicate (even a teeny bit), it builds resentment. They use it as an out.

Except that's not exactly true.. often times the avoidant is simply just not emotionally available or mature enough to even be in the relationship. Yet they'll breadcrumb just enough to keep us there because they still love the attention but not enough to properly reciprocate it.. And this leaves us givers completely drained. No thanks

i agree with all these points, but it is worth noting you still need to eventually break the ice with them to get them to recognize their patterns (along with communicating your own) so they can become self aware and start working towards improvement.
If you only say these, you're reinforcing their avoidant tendencies. and if you don't preface these with a serious conversation, they will assume there is nothing wrong with keeping you at a distance until you say otherwise. and the longer you take to initiate the conversation, the more it will seem like betrayal. so it is CRUCIAL to converse early on!

idk, I was often saying thank you and praising my avoidant ex but he would just get annoyed and told me off for complimenting him! But I think he was more than just avoidant

and now what do avoidants should do towards their partners. because it's not like only others have to read instructions and be specialists in communication?

avoidends, some of them take with no gratitude. avoidends might behave the way they behave because of their guilty conscience towards you. they refuse speaking out what makes you feel well, but speak out what hurts or creates distance. their craft/ handiwork can be miraculous and they bathe in your gratitude and admiration. thats why theyi are eager to act!
