Major Differences Between Compromise and Sacrifice for Dismissive Avoidants

Dismissive avoidant individuals often struggle to make compromises in relationships due to confusing compromise with sacrifice. They have a hard time understanding that compromise benefits both parties, allowing each person to prioritize themselves, unlike sacrifice where one person loses for the other to gain. This confusion stems from their lack of modeling healthy compromises in their upbringing, leading them to believe that meeting someone else's needs requires personal sacrifice.
