I'm mostly secure with avoidant traits, but I learned to stop caring what others think. Now I never hold back. When you rise above the approval of others, you transcend all fears of criticism. I live by the code, "...and if you don't like what I've said, I have more."

Good topic.
But there’s also another side to it:
In my experience some people can be so overwhelmingly present in a conversation or discussion that they don’t give the other person enough space to express their thoughts and/or emotions, resulting in almost a monologue.
This gets even more difficult when they are also verbal very strong.
And when you finally see a little space to jump in, they still grab each moment to react to what you are trying to say even when you’ve not even finished your first sentence.
I’ve seen and experienced this in meetings as well as in personal conversations.
So I do understand it when the other party seeks other ways to express themselves to be heard, like writing them down and text or mail them.
Although there are a lot of pitfalls in communicating via text (it demands a lot of skill), for some people it can also help to express their thoughts in a more organized and clear way (under the condition that that they don’t fall into the same trap of the verbally strong person by using too many words, which makes the core of the messages very cloudy).
What is your vision about this ? And how would you handle such a situation ?

PS: I could say a lot more about it, but that would make this text too long 😂😉.

I've been trying for 19 years now. I'm exhausted.

No boundaries though leads an avoidant sometimes opening up about things that would kind of offend people.
Like it’s all open or all shut.

Mine used to yell over and over " Im not good enough". We were married 19 yrs, 3 amazing kids but after her mom died she couldn't maintain and left us. The kids and I are still devastated 15 months later. Any suggestions to put our family back together greatly appreciated.

So what can I do? How can I make my LDR bf open up and become vulnerable again? How can I make him trust me again?
