Your Attachment Style: Dismissive Avoidant
The one who…
Acts like they don’t need anyone but lowkey craves connection. Prioritizes independence like it’s a survival skill (because for them, it was). Their default mode? Keep it moving, keep it cool, and keep emotions at arm’s length.
They come across as confident, self-sufficient, maybe even a little untouchable—but deep down, getting too close feels like a trap.
Vulnerability? No thanks. Conflict? Rather not. They’ve mastered the art of avoidance, dodging emotional depth like it’s a game of emotional dodgeball.
Relationships? Maybe, but casual is safer. “Situationships” thrive here—close enough for comfort, distant enough to maintain control.
The real fear? That intimacy means losing themselves. That needing someone means weakness. That deep down, they’ll never truly be enough.
But here’s the truth: intimacy doesn’t have to mean enmeshment. You don’t have to do it all alone. Healing starts with self-awareness—because emotional independence is great, but secure connection? That’s next-level power.
