It's was very painful, I had to call it quits, this person moved on quickly, meanwhile I'm in ashes

Your channel is currently saving me. Also, your speaking and presentation style are peerless.

Dial it down rather than build your own wall - great advice as always.

Didn’t even recognize you til I heard your voice when it rolled into your video on auto play! . Nice look!

I’ve been commenting on your videos throughout my partner having an avoidant spell due to depression. It’s still a newer relationship (5 months) and this is the first time we’ve dealt with avoidance. So I feel uncomfortable labeling her as avoidant. Particularly as I actually don’t think she has an avoidant attachment style, I just think she is experiencing pretty bad depression and physical health issues and her way of taking care of herself has been keeping to herself. I feel as though we’ve gotten over the worst of it though and we’ve slowly started spending more time together and communicating more often. I guess the biggest thing I’ve learned is patience and not to assume that I’m not loved or my partner doesn’t want to be with me just because they don’t want to be around me for a period of time.

I have this condition & I’m going to send this to my partner, if I ever date again

Do my own stuff? There is always some things which have to be done...I get busy and concentrate on something werth the while.

I'm gonna dump that avoidant partner... just kidding. Very nice video and contents thank you! ^.^

Hi Ryan, when you say we should do something else we love (hobby) does it mean for a few days until our DA calms or generally find some hobby to do when our dismissive partner is avoiding us?

Thank you 🤭

[gzmdncr]

What if they dont want to talk about reasons that made them avoid from us? How should we approach? Thanks for these videos btw, they are precious 🌸

[yomikosburger]

ugh i tried the double wall technique. disastrous failure.

What if it’s not your partner and some girl you’re into at your school bus stop but they don’t know that you exist?

I hope she does ;(
