Avoidant People Are Often Drawn to People They Can't Have

from The Crappy Childhood Fairy Podcast with Anna Runkle · host Anna Runkle

And just when relationships start to feel like they’re going somewhere, the avoidant person will disappear for days or weeks at a time. Avoidants pull away from closeness, even when they want it.
