Understanding Attachment Styles
Individuals with fearful avoidant and dismissive avoidant attachment styles often experience shorter-lived relationships. This dynamic is frequently rooted in their inherent fears of vulnerability and rejection. For fearful avoidants, the initial connection feels promising, yet as commitments develop, anxiety triggers a defensive mindset, leading them to sabotage intimacy. Dismissive avoidants, on the other hand, tend to maintain emotional distances, favoring casual interactions to evade risks and protect their autonomy, which can prevent relationships from advancing beyond superficial connections.
