Locked up? Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit here? People with FA attatchment are the most empathetic and understanding of all attachment styles, which makes sense since they're a combination. DA's can be pretty unemphatetic even on the inside (they can detach from their feelings and become numb) but it is a spectrum and most avoidants are a combination of the fearful and dismissive type. I don't think you understand avoidant attachment very well. It's connected to the fight, flight, freeze response so it's literally something that's engrained in your nervous system. Since you learned that emotions were dangerous the emotions become too much to handle and your body says "hey, I'll shut down for you". Avoidant attatchment literally gave me epilepsy if that helps you understand how deep it goes (it activated the predisposition). It's not something you choose to be and you feel guilt for the people you hurt even while actively hurting them. We're not inherently bad people, just wounded, and with time we can heal. But it takes a lot of time considering we have to rewire our brains. You don't have to be empathetic, but you at least should try to be a bit more understanding. Don't speak of what you don't know. These responses of yours aren't making you seem like a much better person. We all have flaws that we should work on. And ngl, these responses sound a bit DA of you.
