Deep dives
The Role of Independence in Dismissive Avoidants
Dismissive avoidants value their independence and will react strongly if they feel it is being threatened. This stems from their upbringing where emotional neglect led them to become self-sufficient and create emotional distance from caregivers. When their need for alone time is disrespected, they may feel suffocated and overwhelmed, leading them to shut down or withdraw. Recognizing this need for personal space is crucial for those in relationships with dismissive avoidants to foster a healthier connection.
