Few things sting more than watching your partner flirt with someone else, especially if they’re a Dismissive Avoidant. But here’s the truth: flirting is often less about you and more about their own coping strategies. In this video, Thais Gibson explains why Dismissive Avoidants flirt, what it means about the relationship, and most importantly, how you can respond in a way that protects your boundaries and self-worth.

You’ll learn how they use flirting as a deactivation strategy, why it can sometimes be subconscious, and how neuroscience and ancient wisdom both agree that clear, direct communication is the only real solution.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why Dismissive Avoidants flirt to create emotional distance, and not to provoke jealousy

✅ How novelty-seeking and dopamine play into flirting behaviors

✅ Why insecure attachment makes flirting feel especially painful to witness

✅ A 3-step framework to regulate yourself, set boundaries, and vet their response

✅ How “asking for empathy” statements can help them see your perspective

✅ Why standing in your truth is liberating—even if it changes the relationship
