@awakeningwithbrian: Needy/clingy partners (people with anxious attachment) aren’t being needy or too much. They’re seeking a love and connection that was missing from childhood. Your resistance to them is your own wounding from your childhood. Blame and control of each other won’t do anything but perpetuate the cycle. Stop the cycle by owning your wounds and emotions and begin the deep healing work. Because you don’t have to stay stuck meeting your partner‘s behavior with resentment, judgment and avoidance, if you heal, you can finally meet them with compassion, patience, and curiosity. That’s where love thrives.
You can just end the relationship. You don’t have to stay with people who do these things.

HAILE | ATTACHMENT COACH :
This is such a soft but powerful truth 🤍 That ‘needy’ behavior isn’t manipulation. It’s a terrified nervous system just trying to feel safe and seen. And your need for space? That’s your own little one protecting their heart too. Neither of you are the villain here… you’re both just carrying old wounds that keep bumping into each other. The most loving thing you can do right now is pause, breathe, and start tending to your own inner child with gentleness instead of trying to fix theirs first. You both deserve healing that feels safe 🌿

I agree with this, but it’s not an excuse to accept someone who is being emotional and aggressive, pick fights out of nowhere and distrusting your peace. We tend to stay in bad relationships and excuse poor treatment because we empathize and “feel bad” for this partner, but we shouldn’t stay in a relationship with someone who lets their wounds bleed all over you especially if they aren’t even reaching for a bandage.

My FYP is smacking me in the face today. I’m making peace with the inner child in me, it’ll be a long road but we are all worth it. The first step is the hardest.

I don’t know just because there’s a reason behind it doesn’t mean that it’s not an attack or not cruel or not controlling. It’s all of those. There’s just a reason for it now but that shouldn’t invalidate the way it makes you feel.

Why is it that I know this stuff about myself and the person I’m with… But they never know this sort of thing. I’m always explaining, or trying to get them to understand. It’s so debilitating.

There could be some underlying truth but these could be a very dangerous and manipulative coping mechanisms which lead to domestic violence. Just because we know why doesn’t mean healing together is a good idea.

For a minute there I felt guilty. But then I remembered I was actually dating a narcissist so this does not pertain to me.

That pain can also come as a young adult, being with someone that is just cruel to you.
