64. Why I Push Friends Away Even When I Care About Them | Fearful Avoidant Attachment Style

Episode 64 Published 4 months, 1 week ago
Description

In this week's reflection episode, I discuss the reality of having a fearful-avoidant (disorganized) attachment style in friendships. I share my own experience and unpack the reason why I am stable/anxious romantically, but anxious/avoidant platonically. This episode is about facing the painful parts of ourselves so we can grow into better friends and better people.

This episode is more of a story than a structured explanation. As I talk through the experience, the deeper context and realizations unfold naturally along the way.

In this episode, I share:

  • What fearful-avoidant (disorganized) attachment looks like in friendships
  • Why I pushed friends away even when I cared about them deeply
  • The shame of realizing I hurt someone I loved
  • Questioning my sexuality because of emotional confusion in friendships
  • Feeling misunderstood and carrying silent emotional pain
  • Self-sabotage, guilt, and learning how to forgive myself
