You know avoidant are just people don’t you? A human who has suffered and who, SOMETIMES, reacts a certain way to being triggered. If you don’t want to date someone then don’t but don’t just label eve…

Yeah I tend to agree. Trying to pander to avoidants can be damaging. There needs to be give and take. If an avoidant needs some space to think, ok that's great, but agree when they re-engage in a few …

That's fine with me. Because my standards for women/friends can't be lower than my standards for romantic partnerships. My best friend remembered a childhood toy i always dreamed of, sourced it on Eba…

Ugh, the "you need a hobby" line is a classic avoidant move, unfortunately.  It's like they're saying their stuff is more important than just existing together.  Don't doubt yourselves for wanting to …

What strikes me most about your post is that both you and your friend ended up with partners who made you feel like wanting to spend time together was somehow needy or wrong. That's not a coincidence.…

I do think that a lot of attachment issues are a downstream effect from the fact that our society is basically built in anti-human ways and that we've been pushed into really unnatural family structur…

I know this is an old post but here’s my FA take.. I have idealized romantic partners in the past. Yes. I don’t do it anymore since I’m married now, older and have a lot more awareness of my patterns…

If I'm interpreting you correctly, it sounds like you might be dating from a marriage-minded focus? There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but if you're looking for an alternative framing, maybe …

Hey, I get it. My long term relationship ended at the 3 year mark a year ago. It was so hard to move forward, I had invested so much time and energy. I also remembered how much of a nightmare the ap…

I do something like that, although I've never framed it in the exact way you're framing it. I date for long term relationships. I'm not disappointed if they don't lead to a life partnership: I'm happy…

I think it’s normal, some people are more predisposed to be one way or another. But with any healthy relationship, I’d recommend honest communication and openness about your triggers. I find the more …
