♥ This collection 2 books in 1
◆ Dismissive Avoidant Attachment : the dismissive avoidant sees themselves as some sort of lone wolf. They feel that they don’t need anyone and that nobody needs them. They can drift in and out of everyone’s lives without causing any sort of emotional havoc and they like that lack of accountability or obligation. They may also shy away when you open up to them. Feeling close can feel like a danger zone and so they avoid it.
People who suffer from dismissive avoidance, during their mental growth, have come to generate this type of internal "I'm good, but others are not really important to me. I'm fine as I am and I don't need anyone."
◆ Fearful Avoidant Attachment : People who develop a fearful avoidant attachment style often desire closeness. They seek intimacy from partners. However, they may be unable to achieve the deep connection that they long for. The reason for this is because their attachment experiences have taught them to be fearful of intimacy. In some cases, their personality leads them to reject close bonds. This can spur a cycle of rocky relationships and extreme emotional highs and lows.
A person with a fearful avoidant attachment lives in an ambivalent state of being, afraid of being both too close to or too distant from others.
If you do not intervene immediately , those who have a relationship with a dismissive or fearful avoidant person will end up having to settle for a relationship made up of distances , misunderstandings and conflicts until the relationship is totally broken . Everything you have built together will have been in vain.

Repetitive because it's two books in one, but offers you comparisons, insight and ideas on how to grow and adjust. Unfortunately I really didn't care for the audiobook version voice, sorry 😬 but having a book in hand for these kind of topics is always nice when possible.

Poorly edited. A redeeming part of the books is the discussion on narcissism. I wouldn’t recommend buying this book. It’s okay, but only 2/5. Just.
