What are the signs to spot a DA or FA in early talking stage?

He was definitely avoidant and also very emotionally unavailable so maybe I’ve confusing the two! I also like to take things slow, and hate rushing into anything as I’ve gotten older but there’s slo…

Fellow DAs, do you sometimes experience people taking it personally when you need space to be by yourself?

You’re spot on with this observation and I didn’t realize how it impacts other people at all. I am extroverted and love people but when I’ve had enough, I turn off like someone flipped a switch and I …

Fellow DAs, do you sometimes experience people taking it personally when you need space to be by yourself?

Thank you for your insights, but how exactly is the “allow the space” - not texting and/or replying to their chats? We are actually back together, but the communication has dropped, the distance is …

Fellow DAs, do you sometimes experience people taking it personally when you need space to be by yourself?

By not chasing and instead matching their pace. Absolutely reply when they text you, and match the energy if you can. Ideally you’d want to be perceived as safe, so when they text you should be detach…

How to fix my own FA attachment (ideally without therapy)?

There's no reason anyone needs to know that you see a therapist. If you don't tell people, they won't know right? Depending on your health insurance, a session usually only costs a copy ($20-40) fo…

It’s frustrating how often I run into women with Avoidant tendencies.

Me ex said he was “anxious attachment”, he proceeded to panic and freak out after he got me pregnant and dump and abandon me. Any time I talked about moving the relationship to the next level, or plan…

Excellent reply! Everyone should read and understand what you have said, including your first line where you state, 'primary attachment style'. The other important aspect is the fact it can take m…

Indeed, this is a great reply. The answers people get online are rarely precise. What is more, I bet plenty of people lie to themselves to protect their self image or because they genuinely believe th…

FA Ex who semi-ghosted me sent me this message 2 months later

i dont think you should reply. the apology seems pretty off too. no mention of what he did specifically. just a generic "i apologize for how i was at the end"

This is called “hoovering”, it’s a known technique for toxic individuals.   They’re saying whatever they think will suck you back in to the scenario.  Note the expansive, emotive but oddly totally no…

FA Ex who semi-ghosted me sent me this message 2 months later

if you have time to spare, talk to them and take your chances. if you dont have time for trial and errors, let them know and dont start talking again. i think people who say don't reply are wrong, no …

FA Ex who semi-ghosted me sent me this message 2 months later

If it will help for closure, you can absolutely ask him to tell you what went on. But please be so damn wary about this again. What could have possibly changed in the last two months, that would make …

Good god, serial abuser!? I don't need to read the rest of the comment to know we're not going to agree about this at all, if that's your take based on a single text and the post from OP. And no, I do…
