Dismissive avoidants often retreat when specific (and surprising) emotional triggers get activated—triggers that are rarely discussed but deeply impactful.

2️⃣ Pressure or emotional demands

3️⃣ Emotional volatility or unpredictability

Knowing these before things escalate can completely change how you navigate the connection.
