@growwithkaela: This is NOT excusing dismissive avoidants’ behavior, it’s explaining the psychology behind why they stop apologizing once you’re in a relationship. Their subconscious programming operates on being perfect in order to be good and lovable. No amount of your patience, kindness and understanding will change this in them. They have to heal the original wound that wired them this way.

Nothing bad even happened between us and he had me blocked since July 19. I randomly saw that he unblocked me on Facebook two weeks ago. He never reached out, I never reached out, and we never interacted whatsoever. Then he blocked me again out of nowhere. Why would he do that? I’m so confused.

dismissive avoidants are the step before narcissistic personality disorder. slightly different dna or a little more abuse as a kid and they would have npd

in my experience there are also avoidants who do apologize, but they victimize and still never change their ways. i feel that’s way more disorientating.

How is it possible that a da avoids accountability so much that she's willing to get a divorce? She done everything that you're describing also... Completely turned it around and blame me calling me a narcissist and saying it's 100% my fault. How do they not see this?

Thank you for your content. What is the difference between a dismissive avoidant and a fearful avoidant?

is it possible for DA to end up FA? I swear that's what happened after he lost his phone and it took 9 months to track me down by email. 4 years disappeared once a year regularly, never apologized just reappeared, rarely initiated convo's. After lost phone stayed present 2.5 years, gone for 3 months then back for 3.5 years apologized for the 1st time (kept apologizing and thanking me for being there all these years type stuff for about a year), started initiating convo's on a regular basis, etc

As a healing FA (which I found out I am in therapy) I thought being with my ex for 3 years was going to be the end of me (he leaned heavily dismissive - but his true colors only started showing after I was already attached so about 8 months in). It was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life and I am still in EMDR therapy 20 months later. “I'm so sorry for what I have done to you. I just fucking lost it in the car at my parents. I'm bawling my eyes out here in the back seat, l'm truly sorry how l treated you. I will get the help I need and hopefully I can learn from my mistakes. I wish you the very best in life if that means anything.” Sadly this didn’t mean anything to me. How he treated me = cheated on me for 8+ months. Discarded me when I told him I was pregnant. Only came back after I lost the baby. Continued to cheat on me after the loss. Mocked me for wearing cheap jewelry (he’s a multimillionaire), tried to tell me how to act and talk around his very wealthy parents, nitpicked me constantly, offered to pay me to clean his place after we broke up. Neglected me and never made room for me internally. And no, he never got the “help he needed”. Two months after I left him, he went back to his thrice recycled ex gf from college whom he cheated on and spoke awfully about. Within a year, they were married and had a child. He never wanted children but mom and dad wanted grandkids. He ran from himself once again. And he will keep running forever. PS: I’ve gotten to know 3 of his ex girlfriends (from high school, mid and then late 20s) and he behaved similarly with them. His avoidance is structural.

@Grow with Kaela can you create a covert list of questions we can use to uncover a DA during the initial stages of dating / talking so we can avoid and avoidant?
