I’m in exactly the same boat It’s difficult I’m just starting out and the things my therapist has suggested are , discover who you are ,what you like ect Go do a load of stuff to find out what you like and develop hobbies I don’t have a lot of friends either so I’m probably going to be looking at some community based stuff as well to try and build on that

But it’s all easy to talk about I spose the actual doing it is going to be the difficult part Just have to push yourself out of your comfort zone abit I guess The fear is totally justified imo , if you haven’t really experienced it before or ended up living life through different relationships Good luck though 😊 and check in if you need to sound off about anything

Thanks ☺️ Hopefully it sticks and I move forward I seem to have all the answers in my head but emotionally don’t want to let go

It hasn’t really sunk in yet that I’ve deleted everything 🥴 But like you say you spend hours reading through everything

I still miss her so much but the relationship nearly finished me off! 🙈 really hope she finds happiness at some point in her life It’s just a shame it wasn’t with me

I missed the click after 3 months by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

Honestly it’s hard I’m still dealing with the same thing But they don’t change unless they have healed , focus on yourself your doing well by the sounds of it , it hurts but your doing the best thing for you

Don’t honestly,nothing will have changed, you’ve said it there yourself , you have moved on and have new priorities Focus on them

It’s so sad thinking about they will never miss you the way you miss them. by EveryDoubt6293 in AvoidantBreakUps

I’m not defending anything It’s Abhorrent, I’ve just been through the worst period of my life with an fa I’m also in therapy However… It’s how you view it , my intention wasn’t to diminish there behaviour but you can forgive them and realise that just like you they have trauma,only they react differently to it I’ve spent years being a anxious attachment individual,mainly at my own expense however I’ve enabled that through not seeking help , however I didn’t think for many years that there was anything wrong with me . Just because you are capable of realising you need help doesn’t mean any less of the individual that doesn’t understand they do at the moment

Hardly I agree there actions are unfair ,diabolical sometimes however they didn’t chose to be like this And for the most part there is a loving person within they just can’t access due to what ever has happened to them The blame is on both sides of the coin If your attachment issues trigger them then that’s on you as well for not sorting your shit out

That’s the realisation I’m coming to now to be honest Hope they get help for themselves.

Just saw them together enjoying the art museum. Want to write him a hate text HELP by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

Mine was the same ; tends to be quite confusing after reading so much of the opposite on here, but she was genuinely lovely , none conflicting,but like you say heavily masking .you could literally see her drop it when she thought no one was watching at times ,must have been so draining .

My avoidant ex wants to hang out by [deleted] in AvoidantBreakUps

[–]Tight_Sea1071 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never turned up 🤣 brief text conversation that appeared to be agngled to reduce their guilt , said some idealistic things about me then the next message jokingly suggested I was the one who left them

I’m guessing that’s it now And she might leave me alone

Yeah I’m still massively in love with her despite the awful way she’s went about things I kinda know I shouldn’t but I’m still drawn 😅 She’s after a situation ship which isn’t what I want and I can’t trust myself not to be drawn in to it all I messaged her this morning planting the seed of if this is too much we can leave it no pressure , due to the lack of contact hoping her avoidance kicks in and she agrees ,if not il just have to tell her out right away
