I [28F] have avoidant attachment style. I’m pretty self aware so I can see how it’s stemmed from my childhood and I know I need to allow myself to open up if I don’t wanna end up alone.
My last serious relationship ended nearly two years ago and I’m just now getting to the point where I feel like I could be in a relationship again. The thought of being vulnerable again gives me severe anxiety. So much so that I just don’t do anything at all which probably makes guys think I’m not interested.
I really like this guy [27M] right now and after 8 months, we both confessed our feelings for each other. I like him so much. So much. I don’t think I’ve felt this intensely about someone ever. He doesn’t live here though so I’m super cautious and I’ve pulled back because I felt uneasy about opening up to him like that (even though he reciprocated).
How do I not push people away? How can I show I’m interested? I don’t know how to navigate building relationships. I’m constantly stuck in between just going for it or just completely cutting off contact. I overthink everything and he has bad anxiety so I’m sure my behavior hasn’t been very reassuring to him.
