What does a Dismissive Avoidant actually say about you to their friends?
The answer often depends on where your relationship is, and it can reveal important clues about their level of investment and emotional readiness.
Episode Summary
In this video, Thais Gibson explains what Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Styles typically share with friends during the different stages of a relationship, from dating to the power struggle stage.
You'll learn why Dismissive Avoidants often keep new relationships private, how fears of shame, judgment, and vulnerability can delay integrating a partner into their social circle, and what healthy progress should look like over time.
