And we’re back, analyzing new ways our parents meant well but ultimately set us up for failure… Did you have parents who made sure you were physically fine, and then blatantly neglected you for the other stuff? Maybe they thought they were making you independent, maybe they were relating to you the only way they knew how, but now here you are, stuffing down all your feelings and straight-up avoiding real connection.  Yep, we’re going to talk about dismissive avoidant attachment:  How and why you became an avoider How to stop avoiding, heal, and truly enjoy personal connections And no, it’s not going to be an all-out verbal brawl against your parents, they did their best. But their best might have had unintentional fallout that is affecting you and your ability to relate to people (as well as date them).  So we have to acknowledge and process that before we can even start to move forward. Meet yourself where you’re at, and let’s get to work.
