Ursula :
A lot of avoidants will drag people with pure intentions into situationships only to leave once they got what they wanted.
I think they portray themselves strategically as SO interested in you, only they get the ick once something or someone else more "promising" or according to them more exciting appears on the horizon. They will switch off towards you- LITERALLY GO ICE COLD, as if you are harassing them, a nuisance, bother, as if you never existed. You will get ignored, blocked like an enemy.
THIS is why people spiral- they will try and figure out what went wrong. You are in complete shock and disbelief at their coldness. They will go out of their way to be extremely affectionate towards someone they met yesterday just to prove to you that you mean nothing to them. It honestly appears as if they are out to prove a point of how much you are despised. Once you realize that you have often met people like this, it's easier to "place" them. They could be family- always very busy with something, never available or friends you have known. They often friendship hop- constantly having the new group of cool kids that they hang out with. Next year they will be tired if them and they will find the next group of new cool people. I am constantly amazed at how, when you bring up their behavior- their lying, avoiding the people who love them, the constant unavailability, you are met with an offensive attitude as if YOU are there problem. They are ALWAYS annoyed when you call them out.
We MUST realize that healthy people do relationships differently. They show accountability, are available and are consistent. They are CONSISTENTLY interested in you, year in and year out. You feel truelly loved and seen.
When you have had many run ins with avoidants you will end up feeling that there must be something wrong with you- that is how they made you feel. Unfortunately, from talking to avoidants, guess what? That is EXACTLY how they see you- as the problem.😂😂😂😂 and they don't look back either. They are too busy with that new amusement.
