Avoidant Attached

 Thoughts of the AVOIDANT ATTACHED partner

• "If I open up, they'll use it against me."
• "Needing someone means I'm not strong enough on my own."
• "It's better to act like I don't care than to risk being rejected."
• "I'll just deal with it myself."
• "If I bring this up, it'll just make things worse."
• "I can't trust anyone to meet my needs."
• "What if they see the real me and decide to leave?"
• "It's safer to keep my distance than risk being let down."
• "I don't want to lose myself in my relationship."
• "I don't know how to handle all of these emotions. What do I do?"
