@kimberly.lapaglia: Fearful avoidant attachment can make breakups especially confusing for both people. Attachment styles can shape how we experience closeness, distance, conflict, and separation in relationships. A fearful avoidant may deeply want connection while also needing distance when closeness becomes overwhelming, which can make staying friends feel like a way to keep the connection without the vulnerability of the relationship. If your fearful avoidant ex wants to stay friends, that doesn’t necessarily mean they want the relationship back—or that friendship is what’s best for you. Space after a breakup can give both people a chance to grieve, detach, understand what they actually want, and decide later whether a genuine friendship makes sense. #fearfulavoidant #attachmentstyles #attachmentstyle #anxiousattachmentstyles #avoidantattachment

I used to have piece of this, because of the rejection part. I will worry about the rejection coming. today, I am grounded in my identity so that fear is mostly gone. which means I can be a better partner

Mine asked friendship, I said no and gave 3 options. If you want me in your life it’s being boyfriend, fisncee or husband. Take it or leave it

idk if that's what shes doing. I think it was burnt out pursuer. I failed to understand her emotionally and she got tired of trying

Interesting because I once mentioned being friends and he looked at me like I was an alien.

She said "MAYBE we can be friends again after some time to think about things"
then when i asked months later, she said she was "too vague and had no intention of staying friends with me "

First time he discarded I said yes to staying friends, second time he did it, I said no thank you I’m not sticking around. I had to uphold my boundaries and love myself.

My avoidant ex discarded me 4 years ago, I went full no contact, I'll stay that way in this lifetime, and any possible future one.

Don’t go and give the FA a break and put it on “We may have issues ourselves.” avoidance or selfish unaccountable, and deliberately rotten to people because they will not go heal and grow. They need to own their shit.

That makes it easier to use you as a source of validation. You’re not a person to these people - you’re an object to be used and discarded when they find a replacement or get bored with you. They literally do not care how you feel.
