@lifeinfocuswithsuttida: Avoidance is a short-term strategy with long-term consequences. #personalgrowth #friends #HealingJourney #selfawareness #relationships
not sure about this one. 31 years in and he's totally fine. not controlling. many friends. happy guy. not interested in anything deeper - no deeper connection, no empathy for me. I call him solo man. he likes having someone around, but I'm replaceable. he wouldn't - but if he had to, it'd be fine.

Mine doesn’t even know what the emotions are and if he even has them… he cannot name them.

They also act this way because they don’t want you knowing the truth of their life and they lie so much about what they have and who they are that if you get too close, they know you’ll figure it out

Master at compartmentalizing, but rarely speaks on what is going on in their head. Keeping an avoidant in your orbit is not for the weak.

Constant low-grade tension is the best way to put it. When I say I NEVER felt settled with him because I could feel all the turmoil and unresolved situations within him...whew, it was truly something to behold. He was very stoic, but his energy was far from settled and I started gaslighting myself.

what kind of treatment would somebody look into, if they wanted to change?

Omg.. so true. This was my Situation-ship; I tried to be patient with him, but I finally had enough.. needed to chose myself and have my needs met. I feel so bad for him.

It’s funny how they know exactly how to act and what to say when they are roping you in.

“Feelings sealed in a drawer “Visit Later.”” I got that very image in my marriage years ago. And feelings don’t store well. Now there’s a stink that fills the house, so we buy more air freshener. Exhausting.

I walked away from an avoidant a week ago. Not because I didn’t care or love them but out of self-respect. In my situation, they knew they were avoidant and prioritized others but claimed to care deeply about me, taking hours sometimes days to reply to my messages after closeness. We agreed to a trip together and at the very last second at the airport they backed out because they said they were to sick. I ended the connection right there, dropped them off and told them I won’t be reaching out anymore and deleted their contact and removed from social media. 5 days later they removed me as well. They admitted to talking to someone new, while for 7 months, love bombing and sharing that they were guarded and not ready for something real. I’m not upset about it because I know that they are avoidant and incapable of maintaining a healthy connection. I just feel like deeper than the avoidance their behaviors are emotionally unstable and they should be alone until they can truly receive help and healing.

My dismissive avoidant was open and vulnerable for 2 years. One day I tried to hold them accountable. They just shut down with multiple excuses and were gone. So confusing and painful.
