@lauraleabalanced: Why does a dismissive avoidant do what’s called the “avoidant discard”? I could go on and on with details and I know this is already long, but let me know if this helps! #avoidantattachmentstyle #avoidantdiscard #anxiousattachment #breakupadvice #breakupcoach
2 years out almost and the only thing I understand is that I will never really understand. How you can love someone and they say they love you and then disappear never to speak to you again like you don’t exist. It’s got to be one off cruelest things ever.

The discard permanently changed my perception of humanity, the world, and my view of love. It really makes you question your whole reality and existence. You suddenly realize the impermanence of everything. 16 months later and I still think about it every day.

We had ZERO issues (I'm securely attached) and after 4 literally perfect months he ended things. His reason? I like football (he doesn't watch or care about sports), and he doesn't like my favorite band. Readers, he is almost 36.

My DA husband swears to everyone including our therapist he had the best childhood. He was an only child who was ignored for the most part. He can’t see it for what it is. They are incapable of seeing their own trauma and push it off to the one who is the closest to them.

I just got discarded for challenging the Avoidant I was dating about feelings and going deeper. Because he said he loved me and wanted me to move in with him and move to Florida after only 3 months. But had never asked me a meaningful question about myself. Just surface level. I'm an empath so I feel feelings/vibes and knew something was wrong and knew I needed to push him even if it was going to be the demize of our relationship. I am happy I stuck with my intuition.

It’s so unfortunate because even hearing about avoidants tendencies trigger me. The amount of sadness and hurt I felt, being discarded is like nothing I’ve ever felt. I hope someday I can fully heal and not hold resentment in my heart. Thanks for this explanation

They turned their incapacity to have tough conversation into a reason why we aren’t compatible 🙄 our communication styles aren’t different our capacity to hold discomfort and overwhelm and each others feels are different has nothing to do with compatibility

So I was only seeing someone for a few months but the discard has really affected me, really disrupted my whole nervous system to be honest, I feel like I’ve completely pulled apart myself to dissect and reflect.

This is insane. It’s my ex and everything we went through to a T! It’s like you make this post about my life! Thanks for the reminder, it’s so hard to go through a break up with an avoidant discard especially being an empath and anxious attachment. We think if we love them enough we can change them. ❤️

This is the worst pain I have ever felt. And I’ve been discarded two times before this one. I don’t think I will ever be the same, or believe in love the way I once did. How can you love someone, give them the kind of love & care they’ve always dreamed of, and then take it all away with no explanation, and completely disappear as if they never mattered to you? I cannot heal from this abandonment. I never saw it coming. And I truly believed that she was going to be my wife.

Discarding/ghosting someone is emotional abuse. Waiting on him to return prolongs the emotional abuse, and opens the door to the him using/discarding you again. It's best to block them on everything and move on, no matter how hard that

He blindsided me with a breakup and told me “you deserve better than me”, “I can’t give you what you want” then said he’d always love me and then has never spoken to me again. It’s been 3 years, he hasn’t been in a relationship since but he also acts like I never existed 🤷🏻♀️the most confusing thing I’ve ever gone through

As an avoidant who is also a therapist: yes, you can heal as I have and am in a very happy long term relationship. But it takes time and it took a lot of work for me to realize my unhealthy patterns and ways of thinking. A lot of people will never do the work and that has nothing to do with anyone but them. If I can offer some solace for those who have been hurt by an avoidant, I can say that hurt people hurt people, and genuine love given is never wasted, they probably needed it.

Can I please ask you if I was raised in an emotionally neglectful household how come I am very empathetic towards anyone else and not a dismissive avoidant?
