So burnt out by my avoidant that I'm literally a shell of the partner I used to be. I used to be so bubbly, so affectionate, so loving and now I'm just quiet and going through the motions. I can tell he's worried cause he's now trying to get me to interact and I just can't. I know when I leave he's going to flip it on me that I gave up when he did so long before I did

This was perfectly said! But the issue with avoidants is that even if you share such a video that explains everything so well, they will not understand how their actions affect other people unless they are actively starting to work on themselves and their patterns.

I want to send this but for once I’m deciding to just keep my distance and repair myself from all the damage. I love him but I have to choose myself for once.

Sad truth, if I sent after the first 3 seconds they’ll close the video get irratated and push further away. I give up.

He is NOT the one. Stop wasting your time and start working on your exit plan. You’ve seen too many of these videos. Come on now…you and I both know you deserve better. You’ve done all you can do 💜

They wouldn’t watch it even if I sent it sadly. They don’t want to have to face the reality

Holy crap. Saying that avoidants are making the anxious live through the avoidant fears in real time was so perfectly stated. Just lost someone I think for similar reasons. I was losing myself trying to make sure she didn’t lose herself.

I cannot stress how much I cannot send this. Mostly because he’s trying, but also there’s no way for me to have a conversation about this and still keep the tone neutral the way I want it to. 😭

Yeah, I’m pretty sure my avoidant just wasn’t that into me as much as I was to him
