Don’t Put up With THIS From an Avoidant

I explore a common tactic used by avoidants, called "the flip," where they deflect responsibility and make you feel like you're the problem for wanting normal connection. I discuss how avoidants push away intimacy because it feels threatening. I emphasize that it’s crucial to recognize when this happens and to reinforce that your desire for closeness is reasonable. I also highlight the importance of avoidants admitting they have a problem. I advise you to stand your ground, inquire about their resistance, and give them a choice in working towards a healthier relationship.
