A rectangular image with a light beige background displays the text "You're a CAT: Flexible Boundaries with Secure Attachment!" at the top in a burnt orange, sans-serif font. Below the text is a bordered image of an orange tabby cat with its eyes closed, lying curled up on a light brown wooden floor. The cat has dark orange stripes and white markings around its mouth and eyes. Its front paws are neatly tucked underneath its body. At the bottom of the image, in a smaller, burnt orange font, it reads "Congratulations on completing the Boundaries and Attachment Styles Quiz!

The Dismissive Avoidant Danger Zone (6of6)

They will deflect your concerns, project their insecurities onto you, and stonewall when things get tough.

Key Takeaway: Dismissive Avoidants are often running from something profound: the vulnerability inherent in true connection. Your most important job is to recognize these patterns early, listen to your inner voice screaming "this isn't right," and ultimately, choose yourself and your own emotional well-being.

Have you encountered these patterns in your relationships? What were the red flags you wish you'd recognized sooner?

Hi guys, if you are suffering with this I hope you can access good support.

These posts are a massive simplification of course, there is no summarizing this in 4 slides, it's just intended to point out a possible path.

There are free support groups online too, so much more accessible these days. David Kessler has got lots of resources @iamdavidkessler both paid and free for bereaved people.

I just want to say that continuing bonds is a secular idea, it can be spiritual or aspiritual, you can, for example, believe in the soul of a person staying with you, or you can hold onto the impression they have made in your heart and the impact they have had on you and hold that with you; you can find the way of keeping them with you that is true and real for you.

In Ireland:

you can free call the Samaritans at any time on 116 123 at any time if you need someone to listen. You can also email them if you prefer, jo@samaritans.ie

Irish Hospice foundation have a helpline for bereavement support which runs from 10am to 1pm on weekdays, it's 1800 80 70 77

Academic stuff:

A study finding 93% of ADHDers had insecure attachment:
