“The sexual aspect of these relationships often revolves around meeting the avoidant’s needs, with the anxious partner perceiving this as a substitute for true intimacy.”
Melanie Barnett, The Avoidant Attachment Workbook: Get Over the Fear of Intimacy, Uncover Deactivation Triggers, and Move to Secure Attachment

“Avoidants often gravitate toward the concept of connection while maintaining a sense of safety without delving into deep interaction or intimacy. They tend to avoid situations that demand significant commitment and interdependence, stemming from a fear of experiencing the emotional abandonment they faced in childhood.”
Melanie Barnett, The Avoidant Attachment Workbook: Get Over the Fear of Intimacy, Uncover Deactivation Triggers, and Move to Secure Attachment

“avoidants may unintentionally trigger insecure responses from their once-secure partners.”
Melanie Barnett, The Avoidant Attachment Workbook: Get Over the Fear of Intimacy, Uncover Deactivation Triggers, and Move to Secure Attachment
