@mackenzieherman: Attachement theory isn’t a free pass to bahave how you want to. Everyone is accountable for their actions. #dismissiveavoidant #anxiousattachment #fearfulavoidantattachment #attachmentstyle #avoidantattachmentstyle
if avoidants are scared of abandonment why would they abandon their partner like that? 😳

James :
I am anxious, another protest behavior I have is also lashing out. Like if I feel to hurt or my boundries get crossed like apart of me wants to lash out and make them feel the same thing. Usually, I can control it unless I get to overwhelmed and I feel like my nerves get flooded and I even start shaking. Something im still working on, like I even feel it coming and know exactly what usually triggers me to get that bad.

Great post. Healing anxious and I felt everything you said. What you said is exactly what i was doing. I’m working on it. I was discarded. I don’t know if she working on it. I’m in no contact and moving forward. I have zero expectations she will ever come back.

Isaiah 48:6 :
My avoidant made me turn to God for comfort and strength. When she saw I needed not to be with her and I was better on my own and not pursuing her she began to look back and ask why the change. When I told her she no longer was my center and I no longer saw her as good in any way I began to see a different her. She decided to make a choice and that choice aligned her to the same method of comfort I seeked to be comforted from her. Now we’re ok we work on it every day but at the end we lean on our God to draw us closer

I worked really hard to be secure. Then I got discarded by a FA. It really triggered my anxious attachment. I didn’t text/call. I gave it 30 days before I broke contact and sent a letter. If he wants to talk, he knows how to contact me.

But how would you know if it’s your first encounter with them ? Trying to save who you love especially when you have no idea of what they are is normal it doesn’t mean you’re anxious avoidant would make anyone anxious on the first encounter

This was very powerful!! Now the enigma would be…… how likely would a fearful or dismissive avoidant person Commit to this idea?

Aaron Acord :
I agree, However…. I have learned that the avoidant attachment style is almost impossible to have a long term HEALTHY relationship with. They struggle with real communication, with real life emotions and struggles. Life “problems” cause them to feel overwhelmed and leave you because real connection is too hard (at that specific time)… anxious styles absolutely have issues, but in reality, we just want love, connection, someone there for us and not bolt when life gets hard, because it will. I honestly pray I find an anxious attachment person that chooses me through anything life throws at US. 2 vs 8 billion.

I won’t be anxious if you’re not avoidant. But start giving me mixed signals, pulling me in then completely switching up on me. Giving me silent treatment. Being sketchy on your phone. Then yes I absolutely will get anxious. This is what pisses me off. I’m secure until someone behaves in a way that makes me anxious.
