A dismissive-avoidant often show up in relationships as someone who: Prefers keeping the connection on the surface-level Focuses on sexual intimacy but avoids emotional closeness Runs "hot and cold" with their affection Pulls away when someone starts getting close Resists vulnerability — comes off as ultra independent and emotionally invincible May actively sabotage the relationships when things are going well Many people believe that dismissive-avoidants cannot connect, do not want intimacy, and do not feel pain when a relationship ends. Some even go as far as calling dismissive-avoidants insensitive jerks or equate them with being a narcissist. However, these characterizations could not be further from the truth. In this episode, I will dispel the misunderstandings by taking you into the world of the dismissive-avoidant — their childhood, what shaped their relationship view, and their inner voices — so you can get to know them on a deeper level. Understanding them helps you not only avoid unnecessary relationship pain but dramatically increases your odds of connecting with them in a meaningful way that brings them closer. If you have a dismissive-avoidant in your life that you would like to connect with, this is an episode you do not want to miss.
