    Best thing I did was to stop trying to get my avoidant partner to be vulnerable and connective after months of the focus being solely on their needs and finally put myself first and block them from my life. While it hurt, the entire relationship hurt. The inconsistency and empty promises that just parroted what I asked for with no real work or change hurt much more than finally waking up and realizing I was worth a lot more than this. I don't see how anyone can have a fulfilling or healthy relationship with an avoidant unless they put in the hard work and go to therapy. Personally, I would not advise anyone to partake in this. It's almost abusive but in a quiet neglectful way. I hope to never experience this again.

      The fact that you "soley focused on their needs" is REALLY offputting to most DA's.
      Not only do they don't need that kind of attention, it can really come off as being needy instead of careing.

    Even if it's a personality issue, the attachment style is still avoidant. The effect on relationships are more or less the same. My understanding is that attachment styles do not always develop from childhood wounds. And personality issues can be due to genetic factors, environmental factors or both.

    • @Coachdanielrobertson

    Can a dismissive avoidant be hyper sexual always cuddles in the beginning or always when they are with you?Or is this a covert narcs way of getting you attached then disappear/devalue? Expects to be chased, which I never would! But they come back years later, don’t peruse enough or ever apologize when you expressed how they hurt you for leading you on and mistreating you? Dismissive and covert narcs seem the same to me.

    He is super physically affectionate but doesn’t express emotional intimacy verbally.
    It’s almost like He is borderline Avoidant .
    I also think He isn’t developing deeper feelings for Me.

      Look if he is a narcissist. They have similarities with Avoidants. Meaning their brain is different.
      He will never give you feelings or intimacy - there are big holes in their brain where human program should be.
      Listen to Sam Vaknin videos.
      They are all personality disorders, so you can not make a human being out of reptile :)))
      Narc can only communicate through sex.

      @thecommonsensecapricorn 4 месяца назад +1

      @@YtdeletesallmycommentsIt’s way more nuanced than this. It depends what the dynamic you had with the person was. If you guys were getting to know each other genuinely and they didn’t want to move the connection along seriously, they probably didn’t feel the connection. But if they never put a real effort into getting to know you or connecting with you, how would they know that you’re worth it or not? Thats the avoidance. The lack of trying to connect. The walls. The emotional distancing. When I was really hurt after my first breakup and emotionally unavailable, I still dated guys and even though we were spending time together, I kept it on the surface. I never shared my inner world or asked them about theirs. Because I didn’t want to go deep. I didn’t want to confuse or complicate things for myself or them. So even though I can look back on those guys now and be like “wow they were a catch, we probably could’ve had a great connection” I wasn’t open to seeing that at the time.

    Don’t think this comment has much to do with this video, but my issue is I am an avoidant, but most videos I find are “how to deal with an avoidant” and take it for granted that the only people that want to change to secure are anxious style and avoidants aren’t interested in changing. There aren’t as many resources that help us know how to change. Anyway, thanks for the info in this video!

    This is where I'm unsure if they have an attachment issue or are just very guarded after coming out of a 22 year relationship about their independence and maybe just that early period where they were feeling me out. She's had a couple of prior BF's in last 2 years. Seems her 22 year relationship involved partner working away a lot for long stints. Things broke down when he was home more and started to allegedly exert control/take issue with her socialising (she likes a drink) which was not a concern when he was away so much.
    She didn't give or take compliments. She never discussed what she wanted or where things may go. She had a some hang ups about sex and talking about it and how sex was initiated which I've not come across before. I did all the initiating/leading. Think things took a turn when I'd been talking about wanting to make a fun for her upcoming birthday and take her out/away for the night. Got some negative vibes and her putting me off.
    Think she maybe then felt pressured to reciprocate. She had 3 kids from prior relationship so she probs didn't want to have to budget for me too after only 4 weeks of seeing each other. Not long after got the delayed response to text (asking about seeing her). "Only just seen this, I'm out". I said no worries and gave her some space. Contacted a couple of days later about meeting..and got "sorry, I don't think we're compatible" I opted for "fair enough, all the best"
