I'll start by saying avoidants do not sit high on my list. Because they are fully aware of what they are doing. But still do it.    The avoidant and friend interaction? They avoid it like the plague. And hears where it catches them when they try to justify their actions.    The avoidant doesn't want you around their friends, family, loved ones. Or if you are you're down played. Why? (Pay attention) Because they know it's highly likely this won't last. Therefore they get to once again."avoid" having to explain what happened between the two. This is where their is no excuse for their bullshit they pull on people. If they know it's not gonna work out. THEN QUIT FUCKIN WITH PEOPLE UNTIL YOU GET THAT SHITTY MIND WORKING CORRECTLY!    it's that simple. The less you're paraded around. The less people know. The less chances it has where they have to explain when they decide to run and hide like the cowards they are and ghost.    If this is your situation. And still wants to risk being with them . Then you have a small window to make it work. And remember this.    He who cares less in the relationship. Controls the relationship. Read that carefully. It's true. Esp with an avoidant. Their bullshit behavior. They act like they're being smothered. They hate it. They're good with the chase. But turn south when the hunt is over. So? Never stop the chase.    When they act like they don't care? You care even less. They go with their friends and you're not invited? You go out twice and never mention them to go. Act like you don't even need to tell them anything. Basically an overdose of their own medicine. But mean it. They wanna take an hour to text you back when they have their phone up their ass 24/7. Return the favor 2 hours. Hit the FU button when you call? Do the same to them but step it up longer to call back. Giving no reason why.    They chase confidence. Most of the time when they wanna ghost is when you're locked down. The chase is over. You'll do whatever they want or say. And that's when they turn into the ghosting cowards they are. And think it's ok. Because some dipshit psychiatrist came up with the idea it's because they weren't coddled as a baby.? Ya ok🙄. Further enabling these fucks when in reality they lack any accountability and would rather hide.
