i’m not at all being dramatic when i say this has been one of the hardest years of my life. but i’m choosing to believe that ease is waiting for me on the other side.
Emotionally avoidant people’s go-to lines & behaviors:
- “That’s just how I am”
- “I don’t like drama, I want peace.”
- Deflecting instead of addressing
- Pulling back right when things deepen
- Framing basic communication as “pressure”
- Reappearing like nothing happened
she’s a whole svp with three kids and still makes time for me and i can’t wait to return support back by picking them up from school every day while i’m back home 🥹
i’m absolutely indebted to my best friend for the way she’s shown up and supported me every single day for this past month even though we’re 340 miles apart
