64. Why I Push Friends Away Even When I Care About Them | Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style

from You at Your Best

In this week's reflection episode, I discuss the reality of having a fearful-avoidant (disorganized) attachment style in friendships. I share my own experience and unpack the reason why I am stable/anxious romantically, but anxious/avoidant platonically. This episode is about facing the painful parts of ourselves so we can grow into better friends and better people.This episode is more of a story than a structured explanation. As I talk through the experience, the deeper context and realizations unfold naturally along the way.In this episode, I share:What fearful-avoidant (disorganized) attachment looks like in friendshipsWhy I pushed friends away even when I cared about them deeplyThe shame of realizing I hurt someone I lovedQuestioning my sexuality because of emotional confusion in friendshipsFeeling misunderstood and carrying silent emotional painSelf-sabotage, guilt, and learning how to forgive myselfPlaylist for this episode:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6QOSyqaqeELiWF6dY87ULP?si=SOyBng1dTRGl7eHjOoVBhwIn-Depth Breakdown of this Episode:https://www.notion.so/31bfbd79ed63804ea580e3f39b42efc6?source=copy_linkMy Poetry & Reflections Notion Page:https://www.notion.so/Morgan-Sneed-Poetry-Reflections-294fbd79ed638009bf42dc1cddabf4fd?source=copy_linkMy Socials:All my links in one place: https://linktr.ee/morgzworldInstagram: @morgansneeddTikTok: @morgansneedWant to start your own podcast?I host with RSS and love how easy it is to use.Start your podcast here: https://rss.com/?via=4df2a8If you sign up through this link, it helps support the show!Want to contact me directly?Email me: [email protected] Advice?
