@growwithkaela: Somebody good showing up consistently doesn’t feel safe to an avoidant, because now there’s something real to lose. So they end it on their terms. Losing you on purpose feels survivable. Losing you unexpectedly doesn’t. And underneath it, they never believed they deserved you, so every day you stayed was another day of waiting for you to realize it. Blowing it up just ended the suspense. You weren’t hard to love. You were proof that they could be safe in their vulnerability, and the risk of that terrified them more than anything else.
Yeah my therapist said this to me recently. “If he can’t handle his own emotions, he won’t be able to show up for yours. His silence is the answer. He has shown you all he can offer. The emotional disconnect will hurt you so much waiting for him to show you for you the way you do for him. So he runs and ghosts because he doesn’t know how to handle it. He feels like this is all I can give her, why can’t she understand it” so I stopped taking it personal. His capacity level was reached. It’s painful to go through but I’m realizing I’m enough. I’m not hard to love. I was just asking someone that isn’t capable of loving himself so he gave me all he could offer.

Next to betrayal, a dismissive avoidant discard is the cruelest thing you can go through for a loyal empath.

“Some people would rather burn the connection than admit they need to grow. That’s not your loss, that’s their ceiling.” 💔 we learn the hard way, then we FINALLY decide to walk away.

Hmmm. People need to understand this:
Avoidant discard doesn’t just end a relationship ...
it can nearly end a person.

📕 Poetic _ justice ⚖️ :
the most painful part about dating a dismissive avoidant is that they know they feel this way and are afraid of love but still pursue it. The most painful part was watching them do erasure and avoid because you love them flaws and all. Dating a dismissive avoidant is aweful they make you feel punished for loving them . 😔😔

Yeah, well in my opinion, they need to get over it and step up. My avoidant was the same way, but that doesn’t excuse not at least trying and putting in some effort and going out of their comfort zone.

I went through this. They broke up with me. We went through a gray area after. Then I got with someone else. She called me once a week for 2 years waiting for me. Then I came back and ran to her and she fumbled me again. Then I started talking to someone else and now she wants me more than ever. I’m so confused by this
