Understanding the Anxious-Avoidant Dance in Relationships
Anxious individuals and avoidant individuals often find themselves in relationships, displaying a push-pull dynamic characterized by one person pulling away while the other seeks reassurance and closeness. The avoidant typically relies heavily on self-reliance and self-protection, while the anxious relies on their partner's validation for their own sense of security. This pattern is deeply rooted in early relational strategies and personal insecurities, with both sides drawn to qualities they perceive as lacking in themselves. The dance is driven by mutual insecurities seeking resolution.
