FA breakup & prolonged limbo - does avoidance calcify over time or can it still reverse? — I’m hoping to hear from people who’ve been through something similar, FAs, or anyone who has opinions on this. I was in a 2 year relationship with someone I later realized is fearful avoidant (I didn…
Firstly congrats dude, that's awesome news. And secondly, sounds like both of you realized you had to do that deep work, and both were open AND available 6 months later... All these things have to ali…
Try therapy. Just remember that therapy can take a long time and be expensive. If you haven't already in the meantime, try looking for parenting classes. Or try parenting forums, if a specific p…
I’m sorry to hear you had an experience like that. I do think my current relationship is a little more consistent than what you’ve described. We see each other usually at least once a week, more if we…
Do you feel like its much harder to start healing while in a relationship as opposed to being out of it? Diving into a serious relationship very fast, I realized I have a lot of issues with avoidance…

he is not a complete stranger, you already met. did you dance with him? I think mostly you have this solved, just stop introducing doubt.
It was difficult untill last summer when I joined a men’s group, and got some feedback to my story… at the same time I was deeply committed to learning about avoidant’s and how they manage (or more to…
That’s an interesting point, the possibility of dissociation. I have actually been quite conscious about remaining present through the pain. And there has been quite a lot of pain. So many emotions su…
There are many factors to consider with regards to attachment styles, especially towards different people / situations a specific style might be more prominant. There is also a spectrum - mild, modera…
I'm pretty sure my ex bf was FA. He claimed he was anxious but the trauma he experienced and his behaviors leading up to our breakup kind of point to FA. He broke up with me for just shutting down. Li…
You are correct. Your perception of love is warped. And thus it can be really hard finding it without accidentally finding yourself in shit relationships. As many have commented, avoidants typically …
The mire you deny your emotions and feel they are wrong the worse it gets. Once I just started telling my partner how I feel without making it their problem to solve, the less I felt those ways. I got…
No, disorganised attachment is essentially the same as Fearful Avoidant, except disorganised tends to be used for children. Fearful Avoidant already is a "mix" - these people tend to be anxious about…
Thank you. This research at least is not wedded to what is seems to me to be a very over simplified model. I've just read the abstract and will chew through the rest of it. Then look at what else …
He sounds very dismissive avoidant, and breaking up every 2 weeks with only 9 months in makes me kinda feel like you may be slipping into a p toxic trap. If you want to go forward, I would suggest cou…
I can relate to this. For myself I have been wondering why I think I need to be in a relation to have more intimacy and a deeper understanding. I think it's better to get those things from myself, fri…
>Note: It's at that point when most secure people will leave a relationship with an insecure attacher, when their reasonable requests start getting shot down. That's what I was going to say too. If y…
I know it's not quite what you're asking, but I'd happily advocate for spending the big money again on DataDog and Auth0. Both get very costly at scale, but both solve their respective problems very…
What problem are you trying to solve here. I mean, I admit it. It's a fun challenge for your self. But practically, does it even make sense?
Docker/containers solve some pretty inherent problems that most DevOps teams will face. You're gonna have to go into detail about what you're deploying and why containers don't work. Not liking a te…
There is no such thing as “the smartest business to start today”. There are trends, opportunities, needs and problems to solve. It’s difficult to future-proof businesses these days with the constant v…
I've not used vitness, but it is intriguing and looks like it solves a lot of problems. What I've done in the past is move heavy usage tables to their own database instance/cluster. You need your app …
Changes should bring improvements or solve problems. It doesn't sound like these teams have problems that DevOps would solve.
You apply as much as it makes sense for the people and time. Making those decisions for now while maintaining a long view is an important part of DevOps. It's a process that introduces people into th…
Be a problem solver. Look out for problems that exist and have already been solved. See if you can do it more efficiently. That’s your starting point for every idea.
Just because you're not passionate about anything today doesn't mean you won't be forever. Give yourself time and explore. And don't just focus on the business world either. You can't just think "I mu…
You can either find passion about a problem to solve, which I doubt you feel or you can find passion for the impact/result. Find the second through the process.
I have used resolve.ai, and it's a pretty cool tool. The solutions the ai provide are not the best, but for simple fixes they are good. For junior developers it's definitely a life saver.
An app or something tech in an industry you understand. I've seen lots of people with somewhat ave intelligence launch something simple that solves a problem and then scale it over time to something p…
For me, it’s been about building a personal brand and a company brand as two distinct things. They’re obviously connected with shared values and vision, but they serve different purposes My personal …
Friends and family first while we worked on confirming hypotheses, then they shared with a few others, then (and now still) we’re reaching out directly to people who have stated that they deal with th…
Thank you so much for your answer! So, so much good advice. ''it's really strange, but I can actually feel when I flip from anxious to avoidant.''-- I just wanted to share with you: I too can tell …
Secure here. I still do learn and learn to accept that a lot of people cant express themself and selfreflect. Long distance friend of mine and, probably DA, got into arguments with me via whatsapp. …
>But if you were me and you had just discovered attachment theory, wouldn't you at least try use that new information to work on a solution? I think EVERY anxiously attached person in an anxious/avoi…
I like this idea. It seems to help both the anxious leaning and the avoidant just check in for the day rather than the avoidant expecting to have to check in continuously, or the anxious person waitin…
So instead of replying individually and repeating myself, I'm just going to make a comment addressing it all. Firstly, it was interesting to read all these perspectives. I see where some of its comin…
I am a FA learnt secure, and I'll say almost half of the women I have dated are avoidants. Ken Reids and Dr Sarah Hensley have given lots of advice on this. I'll paraphrase them: 1) Ask them early,…
I disagree. Some avoidants will be good at hiding yes, and that's because in their avoidance + arrested emotional development, the initial playful energy will cause you to mirror and stop noticing the…
Ikr. So tough. "Idk why you always bring up the past" um, because we haven't resolved it? Stonewalling, silent treatment, dismissing.
I agree with this, but also want to point out some DAs don’t actually communicate a boundary. I had two ex’s who were DA and I can lean anxious. Both were very inconsistent in communicating “I need sp…
Well, if you're into them, that's the first sign. It'll be tricky to differentiate between DA and secure for you because they'll both feel like they're moving at a reasonable pace at first, but a DA i…
I literally felt the same, and so needed a second opinion. Here's what Claude Opus 4 had to say (after copy pasting it): Why does this reddit post feel like an ad? My spidy sense is tingling: Yo…
I'm definitely not a philosopher by any means, but here are my thoughts. The article references previous research by Monroe & Malle (2009), where it's said that people's concept of free will consists …
Agreed. I think I used to be FA many years ago and I did not need direct therapy to solve it. I think online resources like you suggest can help enough if you’re a very self aware person
I think skepticism is always warranted. But I would make the case that psychological processes like cognitive dissonance and projection are likely magnified in insecure attachers. Plus some peopl…
So the person who replied to you is immediately toxic because they don't agree with you? I think I *MIGHT* have solved the mystery of why it's so hard for you to find the relationship you want. 👀😬🤣
1) your ex needs to solve this problem themselves and cope instead of involving you. It is extremely immature of them to solve this problem by reconnecting, it is incredibly inconsiderate of your time…
No, it’s not normal to ask for that much space. The idea that dismissive avoidants “need space” gets thrown around a lot, but here’s the truth: that need for space usually comes from emotional overwhe…
Of wanting to be in a relationship, if he was ready for fully committing, and he was EXTRA scared of hurting me. He knew he liked me but being in a relationship felt stressful. And I was able to stay …
You always saw her as something more than a friend, it's just that now you need to realize it because she is out of your reach. Since she was always available before, you never bothered and was part o…
