Ever heard someone say, “I don’t need anyone”? It might sound super independent, but often, it’s a kind of armour that was placed there for a reason.
Those with avoidant attachment styles might find this phrase super relatable. It’s like they’ve got this invisible sign that says, “Please love me, but not too close, okay?”
For the avoidantly attached, opening up is a powerful healing journey. You just need to find someone who can come on the journey with you. Remember, opening up doesn’t mean losing your independence. In a secure relationship, you can have both connection and independence.
