It’s funny you say that but she told she appreciated how straight forward I was. Not everyone is afraid to be straight up.
It’s rlly true. They never full shut doors on exes in their lives cause they realize their pattern and they’re going to miss them sometime soon and want a chance to get back together. It’s pretty funn…
Next time he reaches out, you should just send him a link of Amazon to some self-help about healing from avoidant attachment with no explanation. He wont read it but it would be funny

I picked the dumber route and sent him a funny video. Shocker of all shockers he left me on seen. I would have done the same thing.
Avoidance is protective. It keeps fear hidden and managed behind other feelings (disgust, repulsion, indifference, etc). To feel fear is to feel vulnerable, I imagine if someone actually felt scared …
