Deep dives
Understanding Relationship Withdrawals
The behavior of fearful avoidant individuals can significantly differ from those with secure attachment styles during relationship conflicts. When a fearful avoidant feels hurt, they tend to shut down and may rationalize their withdrawal, perceiving it as a means of self-protection. Conversely, someone with a secure attachment will likely assess whether the hurt is resolvable and attempt to address the issue collaboratively. This lack of self-awareness in fearful avoidants can lead to miscommunication, where they might believe that arguing constitutes communication, rather than expressing clear needs and feelings.
