Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style: Emotional Disappearing and Distancing by Alan Robarge
On this video, I talk about the characteristics of Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style. It's important to note that attachment styles can vary among individuals, and not everyone with a fearful-avoidant attachment will exhibit all of these characteristics to the same degree.
Fear of Intimacy: Fearful-avoidant individuals have a deep-seated fear of getting too close to others emotionally. They worry that emotional closeness will lead to vulnerability and potential hurt.
Mixed Signals: They often send mixed signals in relationships. They may desire emotional connection and intimacy but then push others away when they get too close, creating confusion for their partners.
Inconsistent Behavior: Fearful-avoidant individuals may oscillate between being highly independent and self-reliant to suddenly seeking reassurance and comfort from their partner, making their behavior unpredictable.
Past Trauma: Their attachment style is often rooted in past experiences of inconsistent caregiving or traumatic events in early relationships, which have left them wary of depending on others.
Difficulty Trusting Others: Trusting others is challenging for them. They may have a deep-seated belief that people will ultimately disappoint or betray them, leading to difficulties in forming secure relationships.
Sudden Withdrawal: When confronted with conflict or emotional intensity, they may react by abruptly withdrawing from the relationship, physically or emotionally, as a way to protect themselves from potential harm.
Self-Sabotage: Fearful-avoidant individuals may unconsciously sabotage their own relationships when they start to feel too close to their partner, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of rejection or abandonment.
Internal Turmoil: Internally, they often struggle with conflicting desires for both intimacy and independence, which can lead to a sense of inner turmoil and emotional distress in their relationships.
