@girlthepoet: #creatorsearchinsights Avoidant attachment style people do not always choose the “better” partner after a breakup. Many avoidants stay in relationships that allow them to avoid emotional accountability, vulnerability, deep communication, or nervous system growth. Sometimes the relationship “works” because the new partner shares similar emotional unavailability, toxic relationship patterns, conflict avoidance, emotional suppression, or unhealthy attachment dynamics. If you were emotionally available, self-aware, communicative, and pushed them toward growth, that can actually activate an avoidant attachment style person’s fears more intensely. It was never about your worth. It was about what the relationship required from them emotionally. #avoidantattachment #avoidantattachmentstyle #attachmentstyles #mentalhealthmatters

The minute I stopped self-abandoning and tried to express feelings and set boundaries, he was gone.

his ex before me 3 years. we had 6 months. after he broke up with me i kept thinking "they had it better than us", when actually it didn't have to have been better, just more manageable for them.

He seemed to have wanted to improve himself and be better (in theory). In practice, he would always do the same thing, again and again

I've only been in 1 relationship (we were 16) and talked to like 4 other girls, realistically 3. Feels like I've met different versions of the same person. It'll never hurt as bad as it did the first time but it still sucks that people see how rare I am and still consciously run back to the type of connections that allow them to wallow in their own misery 24/7 while still getting hits of attention

He said he was open to trying again. I told him what I needed from him. He said wanted to think about it and he would call me. Never called it’s been 3 weeks.

Chelsea Mullett :
I’m trying to figure out if I’m actually avoidant or if I have developed avoidant traits through trauma. I am the person who can make it work with unhealthy people until they moved on. I also am pushing people to be better and giving it my all. I feel like I am directly in the middle and it creates a lot of confusion.

I think there’s some truth to this because most of the things that people say I don’t really agree with. I am fully against self abandonment because I can feel when someone is doing that and I don’t like it -probably one of the top things that makes me pull away from somebody when you’re doing too much for me. But I also recognize when some people are really solid and steady and they really wanna be a part of my life and I can’t feel that full attraction with them I just can’t there. I don’t know is it normal to be attracted to attention because it has the opposite effect on me. Please stop giving me tons of attention. I’d like to think that if you give me the space to like really want you in my life to really feel something for you I would want that. But I think I have to make that choice first and nobody really gives me the space to do that

I agree… Because we don’t want to be challenged. Life is hard enough… we want someone who we can be our genuine selves with, without question.
